1. What Is an Edge Rigid Drawer Gift Box?
An edge-style rigid drawer box, also known as a matchbox-style rigid box, features a sliding inner tray and a tightly wrapped outer sleeve.
This structure is widely used for premium gift packaging where presentation, durability and smooth opening experience are equally important.
Compared with standard drawer boxes, the edge-style design emphasizes:
- Clean and sharp edges
- Tighter wrapping and stronger structure
- Better shelf appearance for retail display
It is commonly selected for jewelry, cosmetics, perfume, electronics and high-end gift sets.

2. Key Structural Advantages

The sliding resistance can be adjusted through structural tolerance, ribbon pull or finger notch design. - Strong protection
Rigid greyboard construction provides better compression resistance compared to folding cartons. - Premium unboxing experience
Drawer-style opening adds a sense of ceremony, ideal for brand gifting and retail packaging. - Flexible customization
Size, board thickness, paper, insert and finishing can be fully customized based on your product.
