Shoulder Box
How to Order in 4 Simple Steps
From precise measurements to premium finishing — everything you need to get your shoulder neck box exactly right.
1
Step 01
Measure Your Product
A shoulder neck box has 3 parts: a base, a neck/collar, and a lid. Measure the internal dimensions of the base — Length, Width, and Height.
✦ Add 3–5 mm per side. The neck height determines how much of the lid sits proud above the base.
2
Step 02
Choose Board Thickness
All three pieces — base, neck, and lid — use the same rigid chipboard wrapped in printed paper. Each piece can have a different wrap colour or finish.
✦ 2.0 mm gives the clean stepped edge and rigid feel this box style is known for.
3
Step 03
Design Your Artwork
Three separate dielines — lid, neck, and base. The base is the primary branding surface. The neck and lid can contrast or complement the base wrap.
✦ Keep logos 10 mm from edges on the base. The neck is typically a solid contrast colour.
4
Step 04
Pick Your Finish
Each of the three pieces can have its own finish. A contrast neck in a solid colour with a foil-stamped lid creates a striking stepped presentation.
✦ Best combo: Soft-Touch base + contrast neck colour + Foil stamped lid.

Structure & Materials
1. What is a shoulder neck box?
A shoulder neck box (also called a shoulder box or neck box) is a two-piece rigid box where the base has a raised "neck" or "shoulder" that extends upward. The lid slides down over this neck, creating a snug, secure fit with a distinctive stepped profile.
✅ Commonly used for luxury jewelry, cosmetics, watches, electronics, and premium gift packaging
2. How is a shoulder neck box different from a telescopic box?
A shoulder neck box has a raised neck on the base that the lid slides over, while a telescopic box has a lid that fits completely over the base. The shoulder design:
- Creates a more secure, snug fit
- Prevents the lid from sliding off easily
- Provides a distinctive stepped aesthetic
- Offers better structural integrity
✅ Shoulder neck boxes are ideal when extra security and precision are needed
3. What materials are used to make shoulder neck boxes?
Shoulder neck boxes use premium rigid materials:
- Rigid chipboard core (1.5mm–3mm thick)
- Premium wrap paper (printed or specialty)
- Interior lining options (velvet, satin, silk, paper)
- Optional EVA foam or molded inserts
✅ The multi-layer construction provides exceptional strength and luxury feel
4. Are shoulder neck boxes custom sized?
Yes. Every shoulder neck box is custom-made to your exact specifications.

- Interior dimensions engineered for product security
✅ Custom engineering ensures perfect fit and premium presentation
5. How secure is the shoulder neck closure?
The shoulder neck design provides excellent security:
