Shoulder Boxes with Inserts – Functional Elegance for Organised, Luxury Packaging
Shoulder boxes with inserts combine high-end aesthetics with superior product organisation. Featuring a three-part structure—base, lid, and shoulder (or neck)—these rigid boxes are designed for luxury product presentation, while the addition of inserts enhances their practicality by securely holding multiple items in place. At Print Custom Box UK, we create custom shoulder boxes with precision-engineered inserts that blend elegance, durability, and functionality, tailored to meet the demands of modern UK brands.
Perfect for gifting, product kits, subscription boxes, and high-value retail packaging, our shoulder boxes with inserts offer a premium solution to brands seeking memorable unboxing experiences with secure, beautifully organised interiors.
What Are Shoulder Boxes with Inserts?
Shoulder boxes are premium rigid packaging options that include a partial or full insert tray between the lid and base. This tray, or shoulder, is visible when the box is closed, creating a tiered effect and providing additional structural support. When paired with internal inserts—made from foam, board, or pulp—these boxes offer custom-fit compartments that protect and display products elegantly.
Shoulder boxes with inserts are non-collapsible and hand-assembled, making them ideal for premium retail or gifting applications where visual impact and product safety are essential.
