Tray and Sleeves
A tray-and-sleeve design pairs an open tray that holds the product with an outer sleeve that slides over it, giving a tidy reveal as the sleeve draws back. Made to your custom size, it suits gifting and retail sets. Consider the sliding tolerance so the sleeve moves smoothly without being loose enough to slip off.

The tray-and-sleeve format keeps things simple while feeling deliberate to open. The product sits in an open tray, and a printed sleeve slides over the top; drawing the sleeve back reveals the contents in one clean movement. It is a popular choice for gift sets and retail bundles because it presents well and reseals just as easily.

Getting the slide right

The relationship between tray and sleeve is everything. Too tight and the sleeve catches; too loose and it slips off in a bag or on a shelf. Setting the right tolerance means the sleeve glides but still holds, and a sample is the best way to confirm that feel before a full run.

Layout and print

  • Tray inserts to seat single items or a set
  • Sleeve print coverage for branding and product detail
  • Sliding tolerance tuned for a smooth, secure action
  • Made to your custom size for a consistent fit

The two parts can also be printed differently, with a plain tray and a boldly printed sleeve, which keeps costs focused on the panel the customer sees first.

Available from a minimum of 100 units, tray and sleeves suit a single product or a curated bundle. Share your contents and layout for a quote.

Buyer’s guide — before you ask for a quote

Honest answers to help you specify this box. Where a detail depends on your job, we say so rather than guess.

What size should I order, and can you make it to my dimensions?
This box is made to your own size. Measure your product's length, width and height and allow a little clearance for easy packing, then send us those internal dimensions. Unsure of the best fit? Confirm with our team and we can advise or arrange a sample.
Which material and board weight is right for my product?
The material shown for this product is Premium cardboard. Other boards and weights may also suit your product depending on how much protection and rigidity you need. Tell us what you are packing and we can recommend a suitable option — Confirm with our team if you would like to compare.
What printing and finishing options can I ask about?
When you enquire it helps to tell us how many print colours you need (or whether you have Pantone references) and whether you want a finish such as matt or gloss lamination, soft-touch, spot UV, foil or embossing. Availability and cost of each finish depend on your box and quantity, so Confirm with our team to check what is possible for this product.
How should I prepare my artwork, and will I see a proof?
Supply print-ready artwork as a vector PDF or AI file with fonts outlined, images at 300dpi and any brand colours specified. If you do not yet have a dieline, ask us for one for this box so your design lines up with the cut and fold. We share a proof for you to approve before anything is printed — Confirm with our team for current proofing timescales and file requirements.
How is the price worked out?
£2.50 per unit as currently listed — your exact price is confirmed in a free written quote. Price depends on your size, quantity, board, number of print colours and any special finishes — larger quantities usually lower the unit cost.
What is the minimum order and how do I place an order?
The listed minimum order for this product is 100 units. To order, send us your size, quantity, material and finish for a free written quote, approve your proof, then we move to production. If you need a different quantity, Confirm with our team.
How far ahead should I plan for delivery?
Production starts once you approve your proof, so plan your deadline back from there and allow time for artwork, proofing and delivery. Lead times vary by product, quantity and finish and are not fixed on this page — Confirm with our team for a realistic timescale for your order before you commit to a date.
Are there any compliance or safety points I should raise?
This product sits in our Boxes Templates range. If your packaging has legal or safety requirements — for example food-contact suitability, child-resistant or tamper-evident features, or specific recycling and labelling marks — tell us at enquiry stage so we can confirm what is achievable for this box. We will not claim a certification or standard we cannot evidence, so confirm with our team about your specific requirements.
