Drawer and double-door gift boxes: sleeve, travel, and doors

Three families, not one “presentation box”

Single-drawer, multi-drawer, and double-door packs in the catalog are rigid wrap structures. Wenzhou Taishan Printing Co., Ltd. converts them in Longgang. A lid-and-base lifts off. A book-style opens on a spine. A drawer slides. Double-doors swing. Mixing those words on one line item stalls the quote.

Portfolio photos of tea sets and branded kits are structure references, not SKUs. Cyan, kraft, or green doors on this site do not lock a die. If you only have a retail still of a closed box, say so — we will propose a close family after product size, not clone unknown travel.

• Drawer: sleeve + sliding tray. Count layers.
• Double-door: two hinged leaves, usually a magnet or ribbon catch.
• Lid-and-base and book-style are different knives — see those articles.

Millimetres the plant cannot guess

Drawer boxes need the sleeve inner and the drawer outer, both labelled. One number for “the box” is how the tray scrapes or rattles. If only the product well matters, write the well and say the sleeve may be proposed — still label inner versus outer on every figure you do send.

Travel is how far the tray must pull before the product clears. A thumb notch or ribbon pull is converting, not decoration. Write whether the drawer must stop, or whether it can come fully out.

• Sleeve inner L×W×H, labelled inner.
• Drawer outer L×W×H, labelled outer — or well inner if that is all you have.
• Layer count: one tray or stacked trays.
• Pull: ribbon, notch, or none — and full-out versus stopped travel.

Multi-drawer is several wells

A two-layer tea set is two footprints if the bottles differ. Shared footprint still needs stack height: tray plus insert plus the sleeve or lid that sits over the stack. Copying a lid-and-base insert into a drawer without a new sample is a usual miss — pull direction and thumb clearance change the well.

Do not write “gift set” as the structure. Write layer count and whether each layer is a drawer or a fixed tray behind doors.

Double-door: hinge and catch, not a lid

Double-doors need opening clearance on the shelf or table. Magnet versus ribbon versus none is a catch, same rule as other rigid families. Spine-like joins on the doors are wrap and board, not a book-style cavity unless you also specify that tray.

A green double-door plant photo on this site shows a family, not a locked hinge gauge. Say if doors must open past 90°, sit flush when closed, or hide a ribbon. Inner product size still comes first; door height follows the well plus insert.

• Catch: magnet, ribbon, or none.
• Whether doors must open flat on a counter.
• Well inner L×W×H under the closed doors.

Inserts that fight travel

EVA proud of the drawer wall will not close. A paper tray that is taller than the sleeve mouth will scrape. Flocked wrap in the well is a third job — not a substitute for millimetres. See the insert article on this site for EVA versus paper tray versus flock; this page only flags the drawer-specific clash.

Food or tea in a well still needs liner versus outer wrap named separately. Certificates, if claimed on the pack, are current scans on the RFQ — not a catalog mark.

What fails on a closed photo

A lifestyle JPEG of a closed drawer does not encode scrape, rattle, or whether the second layer exists. A double-door photo with doors shut does not encode hinge travel or magnet size. We will not quote “make it look like the photo” as a steel path.

• Scrape: drawer outer too tight in the sleeve.
• Rattle: gap too large, or insert shorter than travel.
• Won’t close: foam or tray proud of the mouth.
• Won’t open on shelf: doors need clearance you did not give.
• Wrong cube: assuming drawers ship fold-flat like collapsible rigid — they usually ship assembled.

Freight and wrap

Drawer and double-door programs usually cube as assembled rigid boxes. Do not borrow the fold-flat cube from the collapsible grey-board line. Corner protection and master carton belong on the packing RFQ.

Wrap, foil, and UV still need a finish map on named panels: sleeve, drawer face, door leaves. Grey-board cores in the catalog folding-rigid range are typical; MDF is a different line if stiffness is the audit. Name the core. Colour names on photographed doors are not Pantone contracts.

Lines to put on the RFQ

Family: single-drawer, multi-drawer (layer count), or double-door. Then sleeve/well millimetres, travel or door catch, insert, wrap/finish map, quantity band, destination. Send via taishanprint.com (EN/ZH/ES), [email protected], or WhatsApp +86 138 6598 7984.

If you have a physical sample we can measure, say so. A competitor’s unboxing video is not a dieline.

• Family named — not “presentation box” or “tea box”.
• Sleeve inner and drawer outer, or well inner under doors.
• Layer count and insert per layer.
• Assembled freight vs any fold-flat exception, stated.
