What Is a Rigid Slide Box?
A rigid slide box has two components: an outer sleeve, open at one end, and an inner drawer that slides fully inside it. Both pieces are built from rigid chipboard (typically 1.5mm–2.5mm) rather than folded corrugate, so the drawer holds its shape and slides smoothly instead of sagging or jamming. The friction between drawer and sleeve is engineered into the dieline tight enough to feel secure, loose enough to open with one hand.
Match Slide Rigid Boxes
The matchbox-style slide box a small drawer sliding into a sleeve, sized similarly to a traditional matchbox is one of the most requested formats for compact products: jewelry studs, small candles, tea bags, and mini gift sets. Its small footprint makes it economical to produce and ship in bulk while still delivering the slide-open experience full-size drawer boxes are known for.
