  • Embossing, debossing or Braille,

Please contact us directly to discuss your specific wishes and requirements. We look forward to working with you to find the perfect solution for your packaging needs.

Finishing folding boxes Hot foil stamping
Do I have to pay for the punching tool again on my next order?
There are no additional costs for the punching tool for subsequent orders. The one-time cost for the tool varies depending on the size of the boxes and the quantity ordered. If the tool wears out over time, we will create a new one free of charge. After your order has been delivered, we will store the details of the tool in our database.
What is laser punched or conventionally punched and what is the difference?
Folding boxes are traditionally "conventionally punched" with a format-specific punching tool. For this, however, additional tool costs are incurred, which can be particularly significant in the case of small runs.

About a special laser technology, we can punch out and crease your folding box without a format-specific punching tool. This type of production is very quick and inexpensive.
Laser punch:
  • for small runs
  • no tool costs
  • 3 days express production
  • light brown creasing (except for the brown natural carton

laserstanze details
Conventional punch:
  • for medium to large runs
  • one-time tool costs
  • no express production
  • high qualitiy creasing

How do I get an original sample print or white sample for my folding box?

To convince yourself of our products and manufacturing quality before placing your actual order, you have the option of ordering your own customised folding box sample. Thanks to our digital printing and finishing technologies, we offer you the opportunity to order a customised folding box sample made to measure. With or without printing, as desired. To do so, use the following settings in our product calculators:

Unprinted samplePrinted pattern
Quantity:1 - 101 - 10
Colourfulness:unprinted4-colour Euroscale
LacquerNo Lacquer glossy/matt varnish

Please note that the prices for individual samples only reflect the actual production costs. We are happy to offer you a 50-100% discount on these costs for your next order, subject to agreement. Our samples are also produced using advanced laser technology, whereby the laser is used not only for cutting but also for creasing your folding box sample. For the main order, we combine this innovative technology with traditional die-cutting methods to ensure the best quality at all times.

For every order, you have the option of allowing only conventional punching methods. To do this, simply select the ‘Conventional punching only’ option in our calculator.

For detailed information or assistance with sampling your individual folding box, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service.

For what do I need a protective varnish and what is his function?
A protective varnish has various functions. On the one hand, it protects your print image from external influences such as scratches, liquids or dirt, and on the other hand, it ensures an even more beautiful print image with a glossy or optional matte look.
What do I have to consider when creating my print data?
To use special colours such as Pantone for your folding box, we offer various options depending on the printing method. For small to medium print runs, we generally use digital printing in a 4-colour system (CMYK), in which Pantone colours can be simulated using customised colour mixtures.

For larger print runs, we recommend offset printing, which allows direct use of Pantone colours to precisely meet your specific colour requirements. If you would like a personalised quote for folding boxes with special colours in offset printing, our customer service team will be happy to help and answer all your questions.
Can I choose a neutral return address?

Our standard production time for folding boxes is usually 9 working days. However, for urgent orders, we can also complete the order within 6 working days. The fastest possible production time we can offer is 3 working days, with an additional 1-2 working days required for shipping. For this particularly fast production, we only use our laser punch, as it is not possible to manufacture a customised punching tool in such a short time.

Is it possible to print a best-before date on the protective varnish?
Yes, all of our folding boxes can be printed and written on.

Pillow boxes from packaging warehouse:
Your advantages at a glance

Optimal product protection and maximal sustainability: With the pillow boxes from packaging warehouse you get a stable and environmentally friendly packaging for your goods - in an unusual design. Our pillow packaging is made of cardboard and offers your products full protection at the same time. The pillow boxes are particularly suitable for cosmetic products, giveaways or as gift packaging.
Your custom pillow boxes:
  • Formats 100% freely configurable in our online calculator
  • free choice of seven materials in various colors and thicknesses
  • full-surface and individually printable (by digital printing)
  • delivery is glued and flat
  • robust materials, 100 % recyclable, high sustainability

Lasered or punched
Depending on the size of the run, we use cutting dies or laser technology to produce the pillow boxes. Cutting dies are the cheaper solution for higher quantities - laser cutting of the contour is more cost-efficient for smaller runs. So you always get the best price for your packaging from us.

Clever design
The pillow box offers maximum protection with minimum effort and weight. Thanks to its special convex shape, the packaging is extremely stable and also sits well in the hand. Seamlessly printable all around, it also ensures plenty of attention at the point of sale. Packaging can hardly do more.

Maximum design flexibility
With our pillow boxes you have the choice between different cardboard materials in different colors. Digitally printable in four-color printing, all options are open to you. Optionally, a protective varnish or a protective laminate provide an even higher quality print image and additional protection for your goods.

Recyclable & sustainable
Looking for sustainable packaging? All cardboard materials for our pillow boxes come from sustainable forestry and are recyclable as well as compostable. Most also have a very high recycled fiber content - up to 99%.

Pillow boxes: Shapely product packaging

WHAT ARE PILLOW BOXES?

Pillow boxes are a very special form of folding boxes. They do not come in the form of a square, but are similar to a round, curved pillow. Since the folding and stabilizing functions exclusively with the side flaps, the boxes are also called Fixbox. After folding in the side flaps, they acquire their convex shape, which is particularly stable and pressure-resistant. More than one piece of cardboard is not necessary for the production. The symmetrical design makes the pillow boxes easy to fill from both sides.

WHAT CHARACTERIZES PILLOW BOXES?

A COMPACT SHAPE: Our pillow boxes are shipped flat. It is only when the side flaps are unfolded that the packaging takes on its characteristic pillow-like shape. This is how the practical packaging is also called Pillowbox or Fixbox.

VERSATILE: Customizable in size, you can use the pillow boxes for products such as soaps and other cosmetics, for textiles, giveaways and many other loose products.

SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS: Our pillow boxes are made of sustainable cardboard material from sustainable forestry. With brown natural cardboard or innovative grass cardboard, you can also visibly give your packaging a sustainable look.
CUSTOMIZED FLEXIBILITY: Due to the flexible dimensions, you can cut the pillow packaging individually to your product - accurate fit and exactly as large as necessary. Moreover, we print your desired design seamlessly and over the entire surface of your desired packaging - on the outside and, if desired, also on the inside. A wide range of materials and color options round out the design options for you.
EASY HANDLING: With the flaps on both sides of the symmetrically designed pillow boxes, you can also open, fill and close them from both sides. To open the box, simply fold in the lens-shaped tabs on the sides - they do not need to be inserted.

APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES

Pillow boxes are surprisingly versatile packaging that nevertheless stand out from folding boxes in the usual square design when it comes to presenting goods. They are used in a wide variety of industries and score points wherever simple outer packaging made of cardboard is sufficient. Examples are:
  • Cosmetic products
    e.g. solid pieces of soap, bath pearls
  • Jewelry
    e.g. watches or necklaces, bracelets and glasses
  • Textiles
    e.g. scarves, shawls or socks
  • Sweets
    e.g. Candies or chocolates
  • Product samples
    e.g. perfume samples or sample items
  • Gifts and Give Aways
    e.g. for loose advertising material or vouchers


Design & Configuration

With the pillow boxes, a simple design meets a wide range of design options. The simple folding mechanism ensures good handling - even for the customer. At the same time, the curved pillow box adds variety to the shelf at the point of sale and is therefore always a special eye-catcher.
With its flat design, the pillow box is also an extremely space-saving packaging solution. Discover here how you can customize your pillow packaging with our design options!

FREE CHOICE FROM SEVEN CARDBOARD MATERIALS

Even when choosing the material, you can influence the later appearance of your desired pillow box. Lighter cardboard with 0.46 mm or 0.52 mm thickness for a more filigree result - or 0.56 mm as well as 0.59 mm thickness for even more stable packaging and a tight grip. The following materials are available for selection at packaging warehouse:
  • GC2 chromo cardboard (280 g/m2)
  • GC1 chromo cardboard (325 g/m2)
  • GD2 Recycled cardboard with light gray back (400 g/m2)
  • GZ Cellulose cardboard, bright white (450 g/m2)
  • Natural cardboard, brown (400 g/m2)
  • Natural cardboard, black (350 g/m2)
  • Grass cardboard, with recycled content (350 g/m2)

 

WHITE CARDBOARD FOR BRILLIANT PRINTING RESULTS

The printing colors for your individual design look particularly brilliant on a white surface. With our portfolio of chromo and cellulose cartons, you also have the choice of having the inside of the pillow box white or natural-colored.

BLACK OR BROWN NATURAL CARDBOARD

With these two options you create a packaging that directly catches the eye. While the brown natural cardboard emphasizes a sustainability aspect in a special way, our deep black natural cardboard looks particularly noble and extraordinary. An additional white underprint gives your imprint an expressive depth.

SURFACE AND GRAMMAGE

Through our different material thicknesses as well as the different surface structures, you can also specifically influence the feel of your pillow box. A pillow box made of thinner chromo cardboard feels lighter and more delicate than a counterpart made of strong recycled cardboard. Some cardboard materials are smooth on the outside from the ground up, while others are a bit rougher.
 

GRASS CARDBOARD FOR SPECIAL PACKAGING

With our grass cardboard we can offer a very special material for sustainable pillow boxes. The grass cardboard consists of a mixture of recycled fibers and grass fibers. This creates a natural look with a finely visible fiber content. The material is therefore a good choice for all products where the packaging should already communicate the sustainable character in a promotionally effective way.
All cardboard materials that are available for our pillow boxes are recyclable and compostable and come from sustainable forestry. As an all-round provider for individually printed packaging solutions, we also offer you all packaging directly from one source - from the manufacturer to the customer.

FORMATS - 100 % FREELY CALCULABLE

At packaging warehouse you can get the pillow boxes in the format of your choice. This allows you to optimally adapt your packaging to your product. We can realize your pillow boxes in the following size range:

Free formats:
  • Length: 35 to 300 mm
  • Width: 8 to 26 mm
  • Height: 70 to 400 mm
  •  
Tip: For design reasons, among others, not all maximum values for the dimensions can be combined with each other. In the configurator, however, you can always see where the limits actually are for your individual request.

Important: The size specifications in our online calculator always refer to the clear outer dimensions of the box. Due to the convex shape of the unfolded pillow packaging, the available space decreases towards the flat outer edges. The two inner curved side flaps have to be considered for the filling height as well.


PILLOW BOXES PRINTING ...

With our high-quality digital printing, you can ensure that your pillow boxes are expressively designed - in line with your CI and your products. The advantage: The pillow box can be designed all around in four-color printing according to the Euroscale - both on the outside and on the inside. This gives you enough space to place all the necessary information on your Fixbox. With the 4/0-color option according to Euroscale + white, your desired design will also look its best on colored cardboard.


Thanks to the full-surface printability, you can seamlessly cover the pillow box with a unique design. Alternatively, the front and back or even the foldable side flaps can be designed differently to emphasize the special box shape even more.
 

...AND REFINE

Our finishing options give the print on the surface even more depth - for example, with a glossy protective coating or laminate. With the respective matte variants, on the other hand, you can achieve a slightly velvety surface. The feel is particularly pleasing with our Softtouch protective laminate.
 

FULL CONTROL WITH SAMPLE PRINT OR WHITE SAMPLE

To avoid unplanned surprises, you can order from us a white sample or a printed copy of your desired box with your desired design. To do this, enter 1 piece in the calculator for the order quantity. For a first overview of the options and our product portfolio in the area of folding boxes, you can also order a sample box with a selection of printed folding boxes.
