Custom Shoulder Neck Box
Use the fitted lid and visible neck to frame the reveal, with proportions developed around the packed product and its removal.
A fitted lid-and-base presentation with a visible reveal
A gift or product presentation may call for a fitted lift-off lid with a defined view beneath it. The shoulder-neck has a base including an inner raised section called the neck, and a lid that fits over it. Its proportions affect how the box looks when it's closed and how the product is revealed when the lid is lifted.
SleekBoxes makes custom shoulder-neck boxes around your products and supplied artwork. We develop the lid, neck, and base as a complete presentation. The closed appearance stays connected to the space needed inside, with the fitted structure forming part of how the recipient encounters the product.
Use the fitted neck as part of the reveal
The lid lifts from a base with an inner neck, revealing the product through a defined fitted structure. Our custom shoulder-neck boxes develop around the actual contents, giving the client a complete review of how the box looks both closed and open.
Lid depth follows the packed arrangement
Product height and supports affect how much space is needed below the lid and how easily the product can be removed. Reviewing them with the overlap and neck exposure helps determine the correct box dimensions.
Choose how much neck becomes part of the exterior
An exposed neck can create a visible band between lid and base. The amount of visibility depends on how the lid fits over the neck. Choose the preferred appearance alongside product height and removal access. The box dimensions and supplied artwork can then be reviewed as a complete fitted design.
Give the artwork a relationship to the construction
A brand identity can continue across the lid and base, with any exposed neck considered as part of the overall look. The exact printing locations depend on the selected box structure. The proposed artwork should be reviewed both closed and open, alongside the actual product arrangement.
Review neck exposure in both closed and open views
The visible neck influences how the box looks when it's closed. On the other hand, lifting the lid changes the overall appearance of the box. Compare these views with the product height and internal arrangement. An optional physical sample can help the client assess the appearance and make sure the product is easy to remove before approving the design.
Coordinate artwork across the lid, neck and base
A contrasting printed neck or aligned brand treatment can be considered from the supplied artwork. Its appearance depends on how much the neck is visible and where the lid overlaps. Plan that artwork with the dimensions instead of designing it separately from the structure.
Support your agency through approval and delivery
Free artwork-based design support and dielines help turn your supplied brand material into the packaging proposal. Optional existing or custom samples can be discussed for the review you need, with project-specific fees and timing; sample charges are credited against the final production order.
We can work under a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) and deliver directly to your agency’s client. Provide the destination and any sender-label requirements before confirming the order.

Can visible neck depth be chosen independently of the lid?
No. Neck exposure, lid overlap and packed product height must be set together. Supply the product dimensions, preferred neck reveal and desired lid proportions so the fitted relationship can be assessed.
What should we check in an optional sample?
Check lid fit, neck exposure, product clearance, and removal access with representative contents. Select a physical sample that matches the intended construction and any printed appearance requiring approval.
How do we specify the shoulder neck box dimensions?
Provide the packed product length, width, and height, preferred neck exposure, lid overlap and removal clearance. These measurements set the box proportions and internal support requirements.
Can the shoulder neck box include a fitted product support?
Yes. The internal support is selected around the packed product and its removal method. Confirm the support material, product orientation, and clearance requirements in the quotation.
