Custom Tie Boxes & Tie Packaging
Ties are one of those products where the box quietly decides whether the item feels like a gift or feels like stock. Silk creases, jacquard shows every fold line, and a cheap carton undercuts a good tie instantly. We handle a fair amount of tie packaging at ZEE Packaging and this is what usually matters.
The Presentation Decision
At ZEE Packaging, we design custom tie boxes around how the tie is presented inside, whether coiled, folded, half-folded or draped, so the packaging matches both the product and the intended retail or gift experience.
- Coiled in a well no crease anywhere, needs depth, the most premium tie packaging
- Folded in three retail standard, ships flat, cheapest tie box to produce
- Half fold compact, but you accept one visible crease
- Draped over a card used with window styles in gift tie packaging
Coiled reads luxury and protects the silk properly. Folded is what most brands run for volume. Plenty of our clients do both, one for retail and one for their gifting line.
Sizes That Come Up Most
ZEE Packaging produces custom tie boxes in a range of standard and custom sizes, built around the tie’s folded or coiled dimensions and any added accessories.
- 3" x 3" x 2.5" for a coiled single tie box
- 10" x 3" x 1.5" for the folded retail format
- 12" x 4" x 1.5" for wide blades and heavier weaves
- 8" x 8" x 2" for two tie gift sets
- 10" x 6" x 2" for tie with pocket square
- 12" x 5" x 3" for a full accessory tie packaging set
Send the folded or coiled measurement over and we build the dieline to suit.
Choosing The Board
At ZEE Packaging, you can select the board for custom tie boxes based on box length, presentation level, and shipping needs.
- Rigid greyboard 36pt or 48pt with printed wrap, the top end tie box
- SBS C1S for clean retail tie packaging with heavy ink
- Kraft board for a quiet, natural menswear look
- Corrugated E flute when the tie box travels on its own
- Cardstock 18pt to 24pt for folding cartons
Long narrow cartons bow easily. On anything past 10 inches we push clients up to 18pt minimum, because a saggy tie box looks bad no matter how nice the print is.
Structural Styles
ZEE Packaging offers custom tie boxes in multiple formats to suit retail, gifting, luxury, and ecommerce packaging needs.
- Lid and base rigid, the classic
- Drawer slide, the pull feels expensive
- Reverse or straight tuck end for retail volume
- Magnetic book style for high end tie packaging
- Window carton with PET patch so the weave shows
- Corrugated mailer for direct to customer orders
Print And Finish
ZEE Packaging offers a lot of finishing & lamination options to give your custom tie packaging a more polished and premium finish.
- Soft touch lamination, most asked for in tie packaging
- Matte film with spot UV on the crest or logo
- Foil stamping, gold, silver and copper all suit menswear
- Blind deboss on soft touch, subtle and it looks sharp
- Printed interior lining, gets photographed more than you expect
- Ribbon pull or satin tab on drawer style
Inside The Box
ZEE Packaging can add tissue wraps, paperboard or foam cradles and much more to custom tie boxes for better protection, organization, and presentation.
- Tissue wrap so nothing catches on raw board
- Paperboard or foam cradle for a coiled tie
- Care card and fabric note
- Belly band or seal sticker
- Divider when two ties share one tie box

Frequently Asked Questions
How much tie boxes cost?
Rough estimate is $0.40 to $2.00 per unit for folding cartons, $0.90 to $5.30 for mailers and $2.20 to $8.50 for rigid at moderate quantity. Cradles, ribbons and foil push it higher. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can you fit a tie clip and cufflink in the same box?
Yes. We build a divided insert so each piece sits in its own well and nothing moves around.
Can you add a window to tie box?
Yes, we patch it with clear PET so the surface stays protected.
How thin can we go on a folded format?
16pt is our floor and 18pt is safer. Below that the long panel starts flexing in transit.
Do you print the inside of the tie box?
We do, and it is worth the small cost. It is the first thing someone sees when they open a tie box.
