A shoulder neck box has an inner frame, the neck, that sits above the base so the lid closes onto a raised shoulder. The result is a precise, layered reveal that reads as high end, which is why it is the structure behind most fragrance and premium spirits packaging.
Construction: rigid base, inner neck frame, and lid.
Best for: fragrance, spirits, candles, prestige beauty.
Minimum order: none.

Shoulder neck box specification
The neck is an inner frame that sits above the base so the lid closes onto a raised shoulder. That layered reveal is the whole point, and it is why the structure sits behind most fragrance and premium spirits packaging.
| Structure | Base, inner neck, and lid. The neck is what gives the precise, slow close that reads as expensive. |
|---|---|
| Sizing | Built to the product with tight tolerances. This structure is less forgiving than a lift-off lid, so send exact dimensions or the product itself. |
| Fit | The gap between neck and lid decides the feel. Too loose and it rattles; too tight and it sticks. This is worth a physical sample before a full run. |
| Wrap and finish | Rigid wrap with foil stamping, embossing or soft-touch lamination. The shoulder catches light, so a foiled edge shows well there. |
| Insert | A fitted insert holds the product square inside the neck. For glass this is what prevents breakage. |
| Short runs | Hand-assembled, so a small run gets the same construction and finishes as a large one. |
| Minimum order | None. Order the quantity you can actually move. If you are holding a written quote from someone else, send it over and we will work to beat it. |
| Production time | Standard runs are 7 to 14 business days. Print method and finishing move that. |
| Proof and samples | Free design and a free digital proof before anything prints. Samples on request. |
| Shipping | Free, with tracking. |
What to send us for a quote
Three things get you a real number rather than a range:
- Exact product dimensions, or the product. Tolerances are tight on this structure.
- Whether it holds glass. That decides the insert.
- Artwork, or brand assets. Free design and dielines.
