Packaging That Actually Impresses

Didn't expect much honestly, but the box quality blew me away. Sturdy, great print, and customers even asked where I got it. Shipping took a little longer than I hoped, but worth the wait.

Solid Quality for the Price

Was worried the price meant cheap quality, but nope. Boxes came exactly as designed, no dents, colors spot on. Already ordered a second batch.

Made My Product Look Premium

My product was always good, the packaging never matched it. This fixed that. Feels premium, survives shipping well, and customers noticed without me saying anything.

Custom sleeve cigarette sleeves – A sliding design with a clean finish

Sleeve boxes use an outer wrap slid over an inner tray or pack to form the box. This style is not your ordinary flip-top carton and offers a more creative canvas for brands on the front, back, and sides. That’s why we offer high-quality sleeve cigarette boxes for brands. The sleeve needs to fit tightly but not so tight that it is hard to open. If a sleeve is too tight, your customers may struggle to open the cover. Equally, a sleeve that is too loose can shift during transit and may not protect the inner pack adequately. You can also use the inner tray for quick protection and containment as a pack shifts from storage to the retail shelf. All these options are available for the brands at Hive Custom Boxes.

Ensure accurate sizes and dimensions before printing.

Great pack designs begin with inner pack size. Start with the sleeve’s length, width, and depth. Even a slight variation in width can be enough to affect the sliding action. That’s why it pays to share a physical sample or a full measurement sheet with your packaging supplier before your design is finalized.

Choose the best material for your customized sleeve cigarette boxes.

Material is the most important factor affecting the finished carton’s look, texture, weight, and stiffness. Based on the pack dimensions, weight, and handling needs, we offer paperboard that prints and folds more easily into a carton shape, but there are many grades to choose from. A heavier board can give the product a firmer feel, but it can also affect sliding clearance. Alternatively, a lighter grade may work well on a small product that doesn’t require a rigid outer cover. Your supplier can help you compare appropriate grades based on your requirements. Think about the surface as well as the end product before you make the final choice. A glossy surface might be used with fine type as well as hard graphics, but a textured surface gives another degree of feeling. Never neglect to examine a physical sample when appearance as well as sliding would be together. We offer brands the choice of material for their printed paper cigarette boxes, as per their choices.

Print useful information with a clear objective.

We allow brands to connect their product look with the brand. For this reason, we offer different printing options that allow brands to add their special information such as:
  • Name of the brand.
  • Logo of the brand.
  • Symbols and trademarks.
  • Small messages.
  • Instructions.
And all other details using custom color themes and font styles. This will add a unique image to your product line. So, create your personalized sleeve cigarette boxes with us.

Select finishes appropriate for the surface.

Finishing adds to the appearance and texture to custom sleeve cigarette boxes. Some finishing options are gloss or matte lamination, foil details, gloss or matte embossing or other decorative finishes, and more, depending on the materials and manufacturing process. A matte surface will give the pack a more muted feel, and gloss will enhance selected colors. Foil could add emphasis to an allowed brand feature, and embossing could add a tactile raised element. But more finishes do not necessarily translate to a better end product.

Place your order with us and make your cigarettes shine.

The first step is to determine what that element of the design will be. Then pick a finish that complements that function. We also offer our customers the option to check their final design prior to mass production. Verify spelling, color positioning, alignment, and all legal text that needs to be included. We are here for you, so place your order now!
