Sleeve Boxes; the versatility of them and the items they can package.

Sleeve boxes are one of the most used boxes in various industries in the market. A sleeve box essentially comprises a covering that has the top and bottom open, making it look like a literal sleeve of clothing; hence the name. The sleeve is wrapped around the box which actually encases the product. 

The box is pushed out from the bottom or the top to reveal the packaged product. There are however other types of sleeve boxes as well, which are enclosed from three sides and only allow the box to be pulled out from one side. These boxes have a protruding hook, which is pulled on to take the box out of the sleeve.

The predominant use of sleeve packaging boxes falls in the retail category and if one dissects it even further, the major use that these boxes are put to is packaging gifts. Let us dive into the world of packaging and have a look at the types of products that are packaged in custom sleeve boxes. 

Apparel:

One of the profound uses of sleeve shaped boxes has been to package apparel items. Most clothing articles varying form dresses, underwear to socks and ties can be effectively retailed in them. Designers all over the world make use of these boxes to package their luxury ties, dresses among other items as well.

Food:

The versatility of these allows them to be used in multitudes of industries including food. These boxes can package a myriad of bakery items which include cupcakes, macarons, pastries etcetera. Although not a box per se, but sleeves are also used as a marketing and branding technique by various foodservice providers. The disposable lunch box has a sleeve around it which provides information about the company and the food encased.

Chocolate:

Although chocolate comes under the retail and food category, since factory made chocolate is sold at grocery stores, we can put it in a category of its own. Many brands make use of sleeve shaped boxes and display boxes to package their chocolates. A customized window on the front side of the box shows off, the mouth-watering delicacies to perfection, compelling customers to go ahead with the purchase.

Accessories:

Accessories like belts, cuff links and watches are also packaged in these boxes by most retailers. A brand does not necessarily have to be high-end to package their product in these boxes. As the boxes themselves provide a rather premium presentation, they make for great gift packaging options. Most people opt for these packaging boxes when given the option, because of it.

If you have a one of a kind product, custom sleeve boxes can be equipped with custom inserts to keep the product safe. The insert can be made as per the dimensions of the product for a stronger hold.  Moreover, the boxes can be customized as per the preferences of the manufacturer, to create brand awareness among the masses for the product and as a marketing tactic as well.
