Self-Lock Pillow Box
A tab that catches — closure without glue, tape or a second thought.
Locking tabs turn the curved end into a genuine closure. It stops the box springing open in a bag, which the plain version sometimes does.
Every detail. Intentional.
It stays shut in a bag
The plain version does not.
Tabs catch on the score
No glue, no tape.
Reopened without damage
Which gifting requires.
Die complexity increases
More cuts, tighter tolerance.
Board must hold the tab
Thin stock tears out.
Still assembles by hand
Seconds per unit.
Built like architecture.
Each Self-Lock Pillow Box is an engineered object — measured, dieline-cut, and hand-wrapped to spec. Below: the standard build sheet.

The full kit of capabilities.
Sizing & dieline.
Every Self-Lock Pillow Box is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.
Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.
Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.
We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.
✦ Not sure of your size? Send us the product — we measure it and build the dieline.
Pricing & minimums.
Self-Lock Pillow Box is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.
The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.
Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.
Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.
Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.
Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.
Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.
