Pen Packaging Box
A pen packaging box is a carefully designed container, typically made of cardstock, paperboard, or rigid cardboard, that serves to protect, present, and brand a pen.It safeguards the pen from scratches, dust, and damage during shipping and handling.
Rigid Cardstock/Paperboard: Provides structure and a premium feel, unlike flimsy packaging.
Precision Die-Cutting: Custom-cut windows (accomplished with plastic PET or acetate inserts) to allow the product to be seen without opening the box.
Custom Inserts & Trays: Molded plastic, foam, or cardboard inserts that cradle the pen snugly, preventing movement and damage. Often lined with soft materials like velvet or microfiber for luxury pens.
