About our stationery & pen boxes
Stationery is tactile, and its buyers notice paper, finish and fit. A pen deserves a slim box with a cradle; a notebook set needs a sleeve that keeps the corners sharp; greeting cards need a box that shows the design.
We make boxes for pens, pencils, notebooks, planners and card sets, sized to your products, from 10 boxes.

What affects the price of stationery & pen boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Box style. Rigid and drawer boxes cost more than tuck boxes and sleeves.
- Inserts. Pen cradles and dividers add material.
- Finishes. Foil, embossing and textured papers add steps.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
Fit and protection
- Notebook corners dent easily, so sleeves and boxes should fit closely
- Pens need a cradle or elastic so they do not rattle
- Card sets need a snug box so envelopes stay flat
- Shipping needs a rigid mailer or book mailer
Finishes that suit stationery
Uncoated and textured papers, foil-stamped logos and blind embossing suit stationery brands well; they echo the feel of the products inside.
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
