Custom Lingerie Boxes
Custom lingerie boxes with an interior that will not snag lace and an exterior that says nothing to the mail carrier, from 100 units. Shallow, tissue-lined, closed with a ribbon or a magnet, and sized to a folded set — the box does the presenting, so the garment does not have to.

An interior that does not catch
Raw die-cut edges on paperboard are sharp enough to pull a thread from lace. A lingerie box gets a laminated or coated inner face so the surface is smooth, folded edges where the garment touches rather than cut ones, and a tissue liner as the last layer between board and fabric. On a rigid box the wrap paper does that job; on a carton we specify a coated board and turn the edges in.
| Bra and brief set | 10 × 8 × 2.5 in shallow box, tissue liner, ribbon or magnetic lid |
|---|---|
| Single piece | 8 × 6 × 2 in, folded once, tissue |
| Slip or robe | 12 × 10 × 3 in, folded flat, a deeper box for the fabric volume |
| Bridal set | Rigid box with a satin-lined tray and a magnetic lid |
Discreet on the outside
For a box that ships, the outside should be plain or carry only the brand name: no product name, no imagery, and a shipping label that says the same. Where a store box goes in a store bag, the exterior can carry more. Most lingerie brands run a discreet mailer and a fuller retail box; the mailer construction we use for that is the one on our underwear boxes with a plain exterior page, and the lingerie box goes inside it.
A soft-touch black box with a blind emboss is the category's signal of quality and shows nothing to anyone who does not know the brand.
Closures, and the reveal
Tissue is not an extra here; it is the last surface the garment touches. We supply it cut to the box and in a brand color.
- A ribbon tied across a two-piece lid — the classic, and it makes the opening an event.
- A magnetic flap lid on a rigid box, for a bridal or gift set.
- A lift-off lid with a tissue reveal, where the tissue is folded so the garment shows through as the lid comes off.
- A drawer with a ribbon pull, which shows the garment as a flat layer.
Sizing to a fold
A bra is folded cup into cup and sits about 2 in deep; a brief folds to a small flat square; a set together needs a box about 10 × 8 × 2.5 in. A slip or a robe has far more fabric and needs the depth. We size the box to the folded set, not to the garment size, and the same shallow-box logic as our boutique boxes for folded garments applies, with the smoother interior added.

Boards and films we build lingerie boxes on
A folding carton is one sheet of board, so the board is the product. These are the stocks we run for cartons, what each is good at, and where it lets you down.
Natural kraft
Unbleached folding board. Warm, hides marks, costs least. Mutes color — one or two flat colors print well, photographs do not.
250–350gsm sleeves; 14–24pt cartonsWhite SBS
Solid bleached sulfate: bright, coated, the retail carton standard. Takes accurate color and every finish. Shows scuffs sooner than kraft.
14–24ptWhite lined chipboard
A recycled gray core under a white printing face. Cheaper than SBS and slightly duller; the back of the sheet stays gray.
16–24ptKraft-look coated
A kraft face over a coated inner. The natural look with a barrier behind it — the answer where oil, grease or moisture would mark plain kraft.
14–20ptRecycled-content board
Post-consumer fiber with a gray-brown cast. Right for outers and inner components; poor for bright whites and photography.
16–22ptMicro-flute E and F
A fine corrugated layer where a carton needs structure it cannot get from board — a large panel, a heavy product, a box that ships alone.
E 1.5 mm; F 0.8 mmUncoated and textured
No clay coat, or a linen or laid grain. Print reads softer and warmer; a deboss goes deeper. Photographs do not sit well on it.
280–350gsmMetalized and pearlescent
A metallic or pearl face for a shelf that needs to catch light. Costly, and it fights a photograph — a mark or a pattern suits it better.
16–20ptNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
Every finish here is a decision about light on a shelf, not about luxury.
Matte lamination
Reads considered, hides marks, takes a ballpoint.
Gloss lamination
Lifts color; glares under shop lighting.
Soft-touch
Velvet in the hand; shows fingerprints in a bag.
Hot foil
Real metal leaf — the most reliable premium signal.
Emboss / deboss
Shape with no ink; works in the dark.
Spot UV
Gloss shapes on a matte field.
Uncoated kraft
Warm, natural, mutes color.
Textured stock
Texture in the paper; cannot scuff off.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing a folding carton so the die comes out right: lingerie boxes
Measure the product, not the box it is in now. A carton is built around what has to fit inside it, assembled — cap on, lid fitted, folded if it folds — at its widest point in each direction. Send those three numbers and say which is which.
- Length x width x height
- Internal, always. External dimensions include the board and are what the carrier measures, not what the product needs.
- Clearance
- 2–3 mm a side for a snug fit; more where an insert or void fill goes in. A carton cut exactly to the product is slow to pack and transmits every knock.
- Board thickness
- Heavier board takes internal space from the product. It matters most on small boxes, where four walls of 24pt is a real share of the cavity.
- Varies between batches?
- Glass, textiles, molded parts and cured soap all do. Measure several and build to the largest.
- Cutting tolerance
- Plus or minus 1 mm on folding board. Confirmed on a plain sample before the run.
- Units
- Metric or imperial, as long as you say which. Mixing them in one spec is where mistakes happen.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about lingerie boxes? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
Will the box snag the fabric?
No. The inner face is coated or laminated, the edges the garment touches are folded rather than cut, and a tissue liner sits between board and fabric.
Can the outside be plain?
Yes, and for a box that ships it should be — brand name only, no product name or imagery, and a label that says the same.
What size for a bra and brief set?
About 10 × 8 × 2.5 in, folded cup into cup with the brief beside it. Send us your fold and we size to it.
Do you supply the tissue?
Yes, cut to the box and in a brand color. It is the last surface the garment touches.
Can I have a satin lining?
Yes, on a rigid box, for a bridal or gift set. It is glued to a tray inside the box.
Ribbon or magnet?
Ribbon for the classic reveal on a two-piece box; a magnetic flap for a rigid gift set that is opened more than once.
Do lingerie boxes ship flat?
The coated carton version ships flat, with its edges turned in. Rigid boxes, including the satin-lined bridal set, arrive assembled; tissue comes cut to the box.
Can I ship the box on its own?
Inside a plain mailer, yes. The lingerie box is presentation; the mailer takes the courier and says nothing.
Soft-touch black or a color?
Black with a blind emboss is the category signal. A brand color with a foil logo works as well; both read as quality.
What is the minimum order for lingerie boxes?
100 boxes per size — the set, single-piece and slip boxes each count separately, whether built as coated cartons or hand-wrapped rigid boxes.
What sets the production time for lingerie boxes?
The build and its finish: soft-touch lamination, a blind emboss, a satin-lined tray or ribbon closures add steps over a plain coated carton. We give a date with the quote.
Will you send a sample?
A white sample so you can fold a set into it and check that nothing catches before print.
