Custom Scrunchie Boxes
Custom scrunchie boxes from 100 — drawer boxes, lidded rigid boxes and folding cartons with a tray that holds each silk or satin scrunchie in its own round, so a set of three or a set of twelve opens as a row of color.

A box depth set by the fabric, not the count
A silk scrunchie sits around an inch and a half high when it is relaxed and much less when it is pressed, so the box depth is chosen by how plump you want the set to look rather than by how many pieces are in it. A shallow drawer presses the scrunchies slightly and they spring up when it opens; a deeper lidded box lets them sit in full round. The footprint is set by the count: two or three in a row, six in two rows, twelve in a grid.
Oversized scrunchies and ones with a long tail or a bow need a bay drawn around them, so a set that mixes sizes gets a tray with two bay sizes rather than one.
Four builds seen in our photographs
| Sliding drawer box | Rigid sleeve and tray with a ribbon pull; the set of two or three |
|---|---|
| Lidded rigid box | Base and lift-off lid, printed inside the lid; sets of six to twelve |
| Folding carton with tray | Cardstock carton and a die-cut insert; the counter and online staple |
| Window drawer box | Drawer with a clear top so the colors show on the shelf |
Trays that keep each scrunchie round
- A die-cut board tray with round bays, each bay a little smaller than the scrunchie so it stands against the wall rather than lying flat.
- A cross-partition for a grid of twelve, assembled from two slotted strips.
- A ribbon tie on the drawer pull or the lid, matched to the hero colorway of the set.
- Tissue over the tray only when the box is a gift; for shop stock the tray is left bare so the set is seen at once.
Color on the box against color in the box
Scrunchies are sold on color, and a printed pattern on the box fights with them. Our scrunchie boxes are mostly single-color outsides in blush, black, cream or a brand shade, with a foil logo on the lid or drawer face and the pattern, if there is one, inside the lid where it frames the set once open. A kraft carton printed in one color does the same job for an everyday cotton range. The drawer construction here is the same one we use for small accessories in our rigid drawer boxes with a ribbon pull.
Hanging stock and shipping sets
A single scrunchie in a shop is usually sold on a printed card with a hang hole, and a set goes in the box. We make both so the card and the box share a palette. For sets sold online the lidded rigid box is strong enough to post in a padded mailer, and the folding carton is light enough to keep a three-piece set under the first postage band.
Seasonal sets are where scrunchie boxes earn their keep. A holiday set of three in red, green and gold, or a summer set in pastels, uses the same box and tray as the core range with a different ribbon and a sleeve or band printed for the season. The box is ordered once at a sensible quantity and the seasonal piece is the small print run, which keeps a changing range from leaving a stockroom full of unused boxes.
Tell us the count per set and send one scrunchie of each size. The tray is drawn from the fabric, not from a guess at it.

Boards and films we build scrunchie 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.

Sizing a folding carton so the die comes out right: scrunchie 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 scrunchie 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.
How many scrunchies fit in a scrunchie box?
We make trays for sets of two, three, six and twelve. The footprint follows the count and the depth follows how plump you want the set to look.
How does a scrunchie box stop the set tangling?
Each scrunchie sits in its own round bay in a die-cut tray, slightly smaller than the scrunchie so it stands against the bay wall.
Do you make drawer-style scrunchie boxes?
Yes. A rigid sleeve and tray with a ribbon pull, as in our photographs, with an optional clear top so the colors show on the shelf.
Can a scrunchie box be a folding carton rather than rigid?
Yes. A cardstock carton with a die-cut tray holds a set of three for a fraction of the weight and suits online orders.
Can a scrunchie box hold oversized scrunchies and small ones together?
Yes. The tray is drawn with two bay sizes so a mixed set keeps every piece in place.
Should the scrunchie box be printed with a pattern?
Usually not on the outside, where it competes with the fabric. A single color outside and a pattern inside the lid is what most of our scrunchie boxes use.
Can we add a ribbon to a scrunchie box?
Yes, as a pull on a drawer box or a tie on a lidded box, matched to the lead color in the set.
Will silk or satin scrunchies be marked by the box?
No. The tray is plain board with smooth die-cut edges and nothing is printed where it meets the fabric.
Can a scrunchie box be posted as it is?
The lidded rigid box ships well inside a padded mailer. The folding carton is light enough to keep a small set in the lowest postage band.
Do you make a matching card for single scrunchies?
Yes, a printed hang card with a hole for a hook, in the same palette as the set box.
What is the minimum order for scrunchie boxes?
One hundred per size. A tray with a different bay layout can be added to the same box later.
