Shoulder Neck Boxes
A contrasting inner neck that shows when the lid lifts, the signature of luxury fragrance packaging.
- Contrasting inner neck
- Flush lid and base
- Wrapped in specialty papers
In short
Shoulder neck boxes are rigid boxes with an inner collar, the neck, fixed inside the base so the lid rests on a shoulder and a band of the neck shows between lid and base. Box Sense makes them from 10 boxes, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our shoulder neck boxes
The shoulder neck box is the structure behind many perfume, watch and spirits boxes. The lid sits flush with the base, and when it lifts, a neck in a contrasting color appears. That extra layer adds strength and a sense of craft that plain lid-and-base boxes cannot match.
We make shoulder neck boxes to your size with full or partial necks, wrapped in printed or specialty papers with fitted inserts, from 10 boxes.
Shoulder neck options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rigid greyboard, 1.5 to 3 mm | Premium boxes | Wrapped in printed or specialty paper |
| Specialty wrap papers | Luxury finishes | Linen, leather-look, metallic and colored papers |
| Contrasting neck paper | The reveal | A second color or texture inside |
What affects the price of shoulder neck boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Three-part construction. Base, neck and lid mean more board, more wrap and more hand assembly than a two piece box.
- Wrap papers. Specialty and contrasting papers add cost.
- Inserts and finishes. Foam, foil and embossing add to the price.
- Quantity. The unit price falls as quantity rises, though the work is mostly by hand.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
Why choose a shoulder neck
- A flush, seamless outside with a reveal inside
- Extra wall strength from the double layer
- A controlled, slow lid lift
- Room for a contrasting color or foil on the neck
Design tips
The neck is seen for only a moment, so make it count: a contrasting color, a metallic paper or a short printed message. Keep the outside simple and let the reveal do the work.
