The pillow boxes are made of cardboard of various thicknesses, folded and glued. These boxes have flaps on either side of the box that curve inward to slide the box out in the shape of a pillow. Sizes can range from small to large. Small box pillows are often used for jewelry gifts, underwear, scarves, candy and souvenirs. These larger boxes are used as an alternative for clothing and retail items. Cushion boxes are manufactured with or without a handle depending on the intended use. These boxes are rare but are becoming increasingly popular with retailers and gift sellers looking for alternative or unique packaging for their stores and products. They are produced by only a few American manufacturers and are available in white, natural Kraft color, red and black. However, they can be produced in a wide variety of custom colors with minimal minimum quantities. These boxes use eco-friendly cardboard made from recycled household materials and water-based inks.
