Use

When to use it

  • You want a visible sliding reveal or a branded band around a retail product.
  • The product or inner tray already has enough support and mainly needs presentation.
  • Several SKUs need the same base structure with different sleeve artwork.
  • You need a lighter alternative to rigid drawer boxes.
Avoid

When not to use it

  • The product needs high crush resistance or deep cushioning by itself.
  • The sleeve must hold loose parts without an inner tray, insert, or wrap plan.
  • The sliding tolerance has not been sampled for the selected board and finish.
Options

Common options

  • Open-end paperboard sleeves for cartons, trays, or sets.

  • Window, thumb notch, or pull-tab details depending on product access.
Fit

Compatibility notes

  • White card paper is often suitable for clean print and retail sleeves.
  • Kraft paper can support a natural look, but color and finish should be sampled.

  • An inner tray, paperboard insert, or rigid base may be needed for heavier products.
