Product Introduction
Custom bow boxes protect a small product that carries serious brand weight. Bow ties are a deliberate style choice — the packaging should be too. These boxes are built from 1200–1500 GSM rigid chipboard wrapped in printed art paper, structured to hold butterfly, batwing, and diamond-point bow ties in place without compression or shifting. The two-piece lid-and-base style is the most popular format for retail and gifting, and you can add foam inserts, velvet trays, or elastic holders depending on how the bow tie sits inside.
They work well for boutique menswear brands, wedding accessory retailers, and apparel subscription boxes. Where they’re not the right call: high-volume, low-cost fulfillment where presentation isn’t a priority — for that, a simple kraft tuck box is more practical.
Key Features & Benefits
Rigid chipboard at 1200–1500 GSM holds its shape through shipping, stacking, and storage — the bow tie stays aligned the way you packed it. Foam or velvet inserts lock the accessory in place so fabric doesn’t shift or crease in transit. The two-piece structure opens deliberately, which matters for gifting situations where first impression counts.
Full-color CMYK printing with PMS matching means what you see in your brand guide is what you get on the box. Matte and soft-touch finishes reduce fingerprint visibility on dark colorways, which is a real problem on glossy apparel packaging. These boxes stack flat when empty, which reduces storage footprint between production runs.
Rigid Chipboard Protection
Rigid chipboard resists crush damage during transit.
Secure Interior Fit

Deliberate Unboxing

Magnetic Closure Option

Full-Color CMYK Print
Full-color CMYK print with PMS Pantone matching.
Fingerprint-Resistant Finish
Matte and soft-touch coatings reduce fingerprint marks.
Die-Cut Windows
Die-cut windows allow product visibility without opening.
Sustainable Materials
FSC-certified material options for sustainability requirements.
Packaging Styles & Customization
Structural styles available:
Two-Piece Lid & Base
The standard for retail and gifting. Lid lifts off cleanly. Works with foam or velvet inserts to secure the bow tie flat.
Drawer (Sleeve) Box
The inner tray slides out horizontally. Good for accessories sets or when you want a tactile unboxing interaction. Requires a slightly deeper footprint.
Magnetic Closure Box
A hinged rigid box with embedded magnets that snap shut. This is the right format for premium single bow ties, wedding gifts, or subscription boxes where the opening experience matters.
Window Box
A rigid or kraft box with a clear PVC or acetate panel cut into the lid. Lets buyers see the bow tie color and fabric without opening. Common in retail display.
Custom Sizing
All dimensions built to your product measurements. Submit length, width, and depth and we build from there — no fixed templates.
Color Matching
Pantone PMS matching available on all rigid formats. We recommend submitting your brand’s Pantone codes at quote stage, not at artwork approval, so we can flag any production constraints early.
Interior Options
Flat foam, die-cut foam cavity, velvet tray, elastic holder strip, satin lining.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order quantity for custom bow tie boxes?
MOQ starts at 50 units. That works for small batch product launches, seasonal collections, or boutique brands testing a new packaging format before committing to larger runs.
Can I get a physical sample before placing a full order?
Yes. We produce a physical pre-production sample for your review before manufacturing starts. You approve the sample or request changes — production doesn't begin until you sign off.
What materials are available for bow tie boxes?
Three main options: 1200–1500 GSM rigid chipboard for premium presentation, 300–350 GSM kraft paperboard for an organic or natural look, and standard cardboard for cost-effective retail formats.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days from sample approval. Rush service is available — include your deadline at quote stage so we can confirm if the timeline is achievable before production begins.
Can I match my brand's exact colors?
Yes. We offer PMS Pantone matching on all rigid and printed formats. Submit your Pantone codes with the quote request so we can confirm color accuracy before artwork approval.
What insert options protect the bow tie inside the box?
Flat foam, die-cut foam cavities, velvet trays, elastic holder strips, and satin lining. The right choice depends on your bow tie style and how flat it sits — we'll recommend the correct insert at the sample stage.
Are these boxes suitable for e-commerce shipping?
Rigid chipboard boxes at 1200 GSM and above hold their shape through standard parcel handling. For direct-to-consumer shipping, we recommend adding a plain outer mailer if the branded box is the retail-facing surface — keeps it arriving clean.
Can I add a window to see the bow tie without opening the box?
Yes. Die-cut window panels with clear PVC or acetate inserts are available on rigid, kraft, and cardboard formats. Window size and placement are fully custom.
What finishing options make the box look premium?
Matte lamination for a flat, fingerprint-resistant surface. Soft-touch coating for a tactile, velvety feel. Gold or silver foil stamping on the logo. Spot UV on specific design elements. Embossing on the brand mark. Most buyers doing premium gifting combine soft-touch lamination with foil stamping.
Are eco-friendly materials available?
Yes. FSC-certified rigid chipboard and kraft paperboard are available. Water-based inks and plant-based adhesives are also options. Include your sustainability requirements at the quote stage.
