Diwali gift box: what to know
Diwali gift boxes hold sweets, dry fruits, diyas, candles or a mix. Many are bought by companies for staff and clients, so they often carry a company logo along with a festive design.
- A drawer box gives a pleasant reveal and keeps the contents in place.
- Plan the contents and insert before the box size. Mixed hampers need more height than a single item.
- For a corporate order, keep the festive design on the sleeve and the company logo as a foil detail. One base design can then serve several clients.
- Printers and box makers get busy before Diwali. Fix your artwork and sizes early.
Parts of a drawer box
A drawer box has two parts: an outer sleeve open at both ends and a tray that slides into it, like a matchbox. Pulling the drawer out is a small, satisfying reveal, so it is popular for jewellery, chocolates, Diwali gifts and small accessories. It can be made from folding paperboard, which ships flat, or as a rigid box with greyboard wrapped in printed paper. A ribbon pull or thumb notch on the tray makes it easy to open.
- Sleeve
- The outer wrap, open at the front and back. It carries most of the artwork.
- Sleeve glue flap
- Joins the sleeve into a tube.
- Tray
- The inner drawer: a floor and four walls with corner ears. It holds the product.
- Drawer front
- The front wall of the tray, visible in the sleeve opening. Print a logo or colour here.
- Pull (optional)
- A ribbon tab or a thumb cut in the sleeve, so the drawer can be pulled out.
How to size it
- Measure the product, or the product in its insert: length, width, height.
- Add 2 to 3 mm on each side for the tray inside size.
- Enter the sleeve size as Inside sizes in the studio. The tray is drawn slightly smaller so it slides in, and the outside size is shown under the fields.
- Make a sample: the tray should slide easily but not fall out when the box is tipped.
| For | Size (L x W x H) |
|---|---|
| Ring or earrings | 80 x 80 x 35 mm |
| Chocolates (single layer) | 160 x 160 x 35 mm |
| Festive gift | 250 x 200 x 80 mm |
Materials and finishes
- White paperboard, 300 to 400 gsm
- Folding drawer boxes that ship flat. Good for chocolates and favours.
- Greyboard 1.5 to 2 mm, wrapped in printed paper
- Rigid drawer boxes for jewellery and premium gifts. Delivered made up.
- Kraft board
- A natural look for handmade and eco-leaning products.
Finishes
- Matte lamination
- Protects the sleeve, which is handled every time the drawer is opened.
- Foil stamping
- A gold or silver logo on the sleeve top.
- Contrast colour tray
- A plain sleeve with a bright tray, or the reverse, is a simple way to stand out.
Mistakes to avoid
- A tray that fits too tightly. Board thickness on the sleeve and tray walls adds up; allow some play.
- Artwork that wraps the sleeve without lining up at the glue seam. Check the 3D view before you download.
- Forgetting the drawer front: it is visible every time, so give it a colour or logo.
- Printing the studio sheet for a rigid drawer box. Rigid versions use separate wrap sheets laid out by the box maker.
How to make it in the studio
- Open it. Press Customise this diwali gift box. It opens in the 3D studio at 250 x 200 x 80 mm.
- Set the size. In the Size panel, choose whether you are entering the Inside or Outside size, then type your measurements. The other one is shown underneath.

Questions
Are the sleeve and tray one piece?
They are drawn on one sheet here. In production they are usually two separate blanks, cut and folded separately.
How do I add a ribbon pull?
The ribbon is added by the box maker when the tray is made. Mention it in your brief.
