Earbud Packaging Boxes.

Tighter than on any larger carton, because at this scale slack is visible and audible. A case that shifts in its seat rattles, and rattle reads as damage. Each component gets its own cavity: the case, the silicone tips, the cable and the manual. Silicone tips are the item most often lost, so their seat is a snug pocket.

We won't quote a single-cavity pack for earbuds.

Two insert levels, with the case presented on top and the accessories seated below. Lifting the lid reveals the case first, then the top tray lifts out to show the tips and cable. That reveal sequence is what justifies the price in the hand, and it's what gets photographed.

Inside print on the lid and tray is part of the sequence, and it's often left blank.

Rigid board lid-and-base for the premium tier and folding boxboard where the insert does the presentation work. Heft reads as expensive, so rigid construction sits at the top of a range. An anti-static liner is added where bare components are exposed rather than enclosed in a case.

Both use the same fitted insert, so a range can share tooling.

Soft-touch is the most requested finish, followed by matte lamination with foil detail and spot UV. Soft-touch gives the velvet hand associated with premium small electronics. An emboss or deboss on the lid gives a tactile brand mark noticed before the box is open.

Compliance text for wireless certification has a planned zone on the base panel so it doesn't fight the artwork.

Common sizes are 3.5 by 3 by 1.5 inches and 4 by 3.5 by 2 inches. The insert is measured from the charging case in millimetres and the box is built round it. Retail versions for high-theft fixtures are sometimes deliberately oversized, with a hang tab sized for security pegs rather than plain hooks.

Send the case and we'll measure it here.

Production starts at 500 boxes. Rigid and boxboard versions are priced separately and the unit rate tiers down past 1,000. The layered tray adds a second insert to the unit price, and tamper-evident seals are a small line item.

A launch quantity of 500 usually covers one colourway.

A standard run ships in 7 to 10 business days once the proof is approved. Rush production is 5 to 7 business days. Sampling is 5 to 7 business days and the sample fee is knocked off the bulk invoice.

Given the tolerances, we'd always sample this one with your actual case before the run.

Yes, tamper seals on the lid join and oversized retail outers are standard options for this high-theft category. A tear-strip seal shows if a box has been opened on the shelf, and an outer sized for security fixtures keeps the pack visible and pegged. Hang tabs are reinforced and sized for security pegs.

The premium rigid box then sits inside the outer for unboxing at home.
