They ship flat and close when you tuck the two arched ends. The two arched ends tuck in and the box closes, no lid to line up and no tape across the front. A custom pillow box ships flat, folds into its soft curved shape in seconds, and makes a small product feel considered, whether you are boxing a bar of soap, a bracelet, a candle, or a party favor. Custom here means the print, not the shape: full color across the face, your choice of the two stocks and finish, and an Edge Lock or Glue seam. Sets of 50 start at $284.49 and hold a 4.9 out of 5 rating across 61 reviews. Each box folds from a single flat die-cut and prints full color on the front, and the curved shape stands out on a shelf or a checkout counter.

At 4OVER4 pillow boxes print full color on the front at a 3.625" x 1.5" x 7.25" size, on 14pt uncoated or 18pt gloss-one-side stock, and you choose the material, edge join, and proof when you order. The box ships flat, then folds into a soft curved shape with two ends that tuck in like a little pillow, so there is no separate lid and no tape line across your artwork. People reach for pillow boxes to package soap bars, jewelry, candles, small gifts, party favors, and retail samples. You set the stock, pick how the seam is joined, and print your art across the front. If you need a squarer box for a bulkier item, the [Cube Boxes](https://www.4over4.com/product/cube-boxes) hold a taller shape, and the pillow box sits beside them as the slim, curved option that stands out at retail. ### What Size Are Pillow Boxes Pillow boxes come in one finished size at 4OVER4: 3.625" x 1.5" x 7.25". That is a tall, narrow pillow shape sized for slim products, and because the size is fixed you build your artwork to that exact trim. This box has one size and one job: 3.625 inches wide, 1.5 inches deep, and 7.25 inches tall when folded. That slim, upright proportion suits a soap bar, a bracelet, a set of pens, a thin candle, or a handful of wrapped sweets. For soap, our guide lists each [soap box size in inches](https://www.4over4.com/guide/custom-soap-box-packaging-guide-sizes-styles-and-branding) by box style. With a single trim there is no guessing on layout, so your design fills the front panel cleanly. The spec sheet below lists the finished size, the turnaround, and the file types we accept. ### Pillow Boxes , Configured Your Way 3 option groups, 6 choices, defaults: 14pt Uncoated Cover, Edge Lock ### Custom Pillow Box Specs at a Glance | Spec | What you get | | --- | --- | | Size | 3.625" x 1.5" x 7.25", one fixed pillow shape | | Stocks | 14pt Uncoated Cover, or 18pt Cover with gloss on the printed side | | Printing | 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back | | Finish | Standard Finish | | Seam | Edge Lock or Glue | | Quantities | 50 to 25,000 boxes, from $5.69 down to about $0.28 a box | | Proofing | Straight To Production or a Free Online Proof | | Turnaround | 9 business days standard | ### What Actually Fits Inside a 3.625 x 1.5 x 7.25 Inch Pillow Box One size means the question is not which box, it is whether your product fits. The interior is long and shallow, roughly 7 inches end to end and only about an inch and a half deep at the middle of the curve, so slim and flat go in easily and bulky does not. Eight things that fit: - A chain bracelet, coiled or laid straight on a card, since 7 inches of length is more than most wrists need. - Two bars of soap, standard rectangular bars laid end to end down the length. - A folded silk scarf, folded to about 3 inches wide and rolled once, which is what the curve of the box was made for. - A phone cable, coiled flat, with room for a small tie or a branded card alongside it. - A gift card plus a note, sitting side by side rather than stacked, so the box still closes flat at the ends. - A pair of earrings on a card, backing card and all, with the card cut under 3.5 inches wide. - A small candle, a slim votive or a travel tin, laid on its side rather than upright. - Three macarons, standard size, in a row down the length with tissue on either side. What does not fit: anything taller than about an inch and a half at its thickest point, since the arch of the box is where the depth lives and the ends tuck flat. ### Custom Pillow Box Uses by Industry | Industry | What goes in the box | | --- | --- | | Jewelry | Bracelets, chains and earring cards, printed on the 18pt gloss side for a retail-counter finish. | | Handmade soap and bath | One or two bars, usually on the natural 14pt Uncoated Cover, which suits a hand-made label better than gloss. | | Cosmetics samples | Sample tubes, a lip set or a travel size, with the shade or batch printed on the face. | | Wedding and party favors | Favors handed out at the table, printed once with the date and names across the whole run. | | Bakery and confection | Macarons, truffles and chocolate bars, where the tuck ends close without tape touching the food packaging inside. | | Subscription box inserts | The small box inside the big box, holding the accessory or the welcome item so it does not roll around. | ### What Material and Finish Can You Choose 4OVER4 prints pillow boxes on 2 packaging stocks: 14pt Uncoated Cover for a natural matte surface, or 18pt Cover with gloss on one side for a brighter printed face. Ink prints 4/0, full color on the front with a blank back, and every box gets a Standard Finish. A small box still needs the right feel in the hand. The 14pt Uncoated Cover reads natural and matte, the kind of surface that takes a stamp or a handwritten thank-you well. The heavier 18pt Cover adds a gloss coat on the printed side, so photos and color print brighter and the box feels sturdier on a shelf. Both print full color across the front with a blank interior back, and both finish with a Standard Finish. Pick the stock that matches your product, and the price follows the choice. Want a glossier box across the whole surface? The [Wine Boxes](https://www.4over4.com/product/wine-boxes) carry a premium presentation finish for bottles, while pillow boxes keep things slim and simple. ### How Much Do Pillow Boxes Cost Pillow boxes start at $284.49 per set of 50, and the per-box price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 25,000, so a cheaper box comes down to how big a run you order. A set of 200 runs $416.28, 500 run $603.01, and a 5,000-box run drops to about $0.30 a box. Set the slider below to the number of products you pack in a season to see the set total and the per-box cost. ## Wally folds a box that ships flat and pops open Why a curved pillow box makes a small product feel like a gift.

Before printing you choose Straight To Production or a Free Online Proof. Pillow boxes arrive flat and fold up in seconds. The single seam is joined the way you pick: Edge Lock interlocks the panels for a clean, glue-free hold, or Glue bonds the seam for extra security on heavier contents. Either way you pop the box open, load your product, and tuck the two curved ends to close it, no tape required. On proofing you decide how careful to be: choose a Free Online Proof to review a digital mockup of your layout before anything prints, or send it Straight To Production when your file is already press-ready. Every order also earns 4OVER4 loyalty coins you can apply for up to 11% off at checkout. #### How do you assemble a pillow box? - The boxes arrive flat, printed and die cut. - Bow the flat blank gently until the two long panels take their curve. - Tuck the first curved end flap into the mouth of the box. - Load the product. - Tuck the second end flap the same way. No glue, no tape, no tool. The seam down the side arrives already joined by Edge Lock or Glue, whichever you picked, so the only folding you do is the two ends. ### How Do Pillow Boxes Compare to the Rest of the Boxes A squarer box, a round-item box and a premium bottle box each start at their own price.

There is one size, 3.625 inches by 1.5 inches by 7.25 inches, with the arched ends that tuck closed. That footprint is built for slim products such as a bar of soap, a bracelet, a candle, or a party favor. Measure your product against those dimensions before ordering, since the size is fixed. ### Do the boxes arrive assembled? They ship flat as a single die-cut piece and fold into the curved pillow shape in seconds by hand. There is no lid to line up and no tape needed across the front, since the two arched ends simply tuck in. Flat shipping also means they store in far less space than assembled boxes. ### What stocks can I choose? Two: a natural 14pt Uncoated Cover, or an 18pt Cover with gloss on the printed side. The uncoated stock gives a plain, tactile surface that suits handmade and natural product lines, while the 18pt gloss is heavier and pushes color brighter for retail shelf presence. ### What is the difference between the Edge Lock and Glue seam? Edge Lock joins the seam mechanically so the box holds its shape without adhesive, while Glue bonds the seam closed. Edge Lock keeps assembly simple by hand, and Glue gives a permanently fixed seam. You pick one when you build the order. ### What is the minimum order and how does the price change with quantity? The minimum is a set of 50 at $284.49, which is $5.69 a box. The per-box price slides down to roughly $0.28 as the run climbs toward 25,000. Small runs suit a product launch or a market stall, while the deeper tiers are where packaging cost per unit really drops. ### How long does production take? Standard production is 9 business days, which covers printing, die-cutting, and the seam work. A free online proof is available so you can approve the layout before that clock starts. Shipping transit time is separate from production. ### Can I print on the inside of the box? The print setup is full color across the front with a blank back, so the inside face is left unprinted. That keeps the ink away from whatever sits inside the box. Put your logo, product name, and any required copy on the printed outer face.
