Custom Kraft Pillow Boxes
A necklace tossed into a padded mailer arrives intact and looks like nothing. Custom kraft pillow boxes fix the presentation problem without adding freight weight. They are die-cut from 250 to 400 GSM natural kraft, scored on a curved arc so both ends tuck into a soft pillow shape, and they ship flat until you fold them by hand in about four seconds.
Etsy jewelry sellers and subscription box packers order them most. They are the wrong pick for anything over one pound or with sharp corners that can pierce the arc.

Key Features and Benefits of Printed Kraft Pillow Boxes
Custom kraft pillow boxes protect small items through tension, not padding. The curved arc holds the product against both walls, which stops the rattle that scuffs plated finishes in transit. At 350 GSM the arc springs back after compression instead of creasing flat. Uncoated fiber absorbs light rather than reflecting it, so handling marks stay invisible on a shelf. Caliper drives most of this, and the paperboard thickness guide covers where 250 GSM stops working.
Drop Shock Absorption
Curved arc absorbs drop shock without inserts.
Humidity Resistance
Uncoated kraft shrugs off humidity and condensation.
Compression Strength
Holds under stacked retail trays.
Tamper Evidence
Tuck flaps show tampering at a glance.
Clean Stacking
Flat profile stacks cleanly inside shipper cases.
Foil Visibility
Foil logo reads across a retail counter.
Fine Line Detail
Digital print holds fine line artwork.
Durable Handling
400 GSM kraft survives repeated customer handling.
Packaging Styles and Customization
Four kraft box structures cover most pillow orders: standard curved pillow, hang-tab pillow for peg walls, window pillow with a die-cut front, and handle pillow for gift retail.
Available Styles
- Standard curved pillow
- Hang-tab pillow for peg walls
- Window pillow with die-cut front
- Handle pillow for gift retail
Custom Sizes
Small jewelry runs use 3.5 by 3 by 1 inch. Apparel accessories need 7 by 5 by 2.
Printing Options
We match Pantone Solid Uncoated within Delta E 3, since raw fiber shifts ink darker than white stock.
Logo Placement
Foil and spot UV sit on the top arc.
Optional Add-ons
Inserts come as folded cards, tissue liners, or die-cut foam.
Custom Packaging Available: Send your product dimensions and unit weight and we cut the die line to match.

Custom Kraft Pillow Boxes FAQs
Can You Print Directly on Kraft Pillow Boxes?
Yes. Kraft takes offset, flexo, and digital ink directly. Add an opaque white underprint first if your artwork needs bright color, since bare fiber mutes everything.
What Thickness of Kraft Should You Use for Pillow Boxes?
300 to 350 GSM handles most retail items under 8 ounces. Drop to 250 GSM only for flat goods. Go 400 GSM if the box ships unprotected.
Is 230 GSM Kraft Strong Enough for Shipping?
Not on its own. 230 GSM works as retail presentation inside a mailer or shipper. Anything shipped alone needs 350 GSM minimum plus a corrugated outer.
How to Choose the Right Size Pillow Box for Your Product
Measure length, width, and height at the widest points, then add 2mm clearance. The curved ends lose interior depth, so height matters more than the flat dimensions.
Kraft Pillow Box Dimensions: Standard Sizes and Custom Options
Standard sizes include 3.5x3x1, 4.5x3.5x1, 6x4.5x1.5, and 7x5x2 inches. Custom die lines match any product profile and add about two days to the first run.
What's the Best Way to Pack Small Products for Shipping?
Use a fitted inner carton inside a padded mailer. The inner box stops movement, the mailer absorbs impact. Loose products in one oversized shipper arrive scuffed.
Best Void Fill Materials for Kraft Pillow Boxes
Crinkle paper shred, kraft tissue, and molded pulp inserts all work without plastic. Shred suits jewelry, tissue suits fabric, molded pulp suits anything with a fragile edge.
Can Kraft Pillow Boxes Handle Heavy Products?
They top out near one pound. Past that the arc flattens and the tuck ends pop open. Heavier items belong in a rigid carton or corrugated mailer.
Are Kraft Pillow Boxes Eco-Friendly?
Uncoated kraft stays curbside recyclable and carries post-consumer recycled content. Skip lamination and foil if recyclability matters, since both films block repulping in most municipal streams.
How Long Does It Take to Get Custom Kraft Pillow Boxes?
Standard production runs 8 to 10 business days after you approve the proof. Rush cuts that to 5 or 6. One artwork revision adds roughly two days.
