What are custom tie boxes?
Custom tie boxes are slim elongated or compact square paperboard and rigid containers engineered to hold folded neckties, rolled silk ties, bow ties and cravats without pinching the bias-cut fabric or creasing the wool interlining. Haberdasheries, menswear labels, bridal outfitters and corporate uniform programs use them to present delicate jacquard, grenadine, rep-stripe and knit neckwear on retail counters or in parcel deliveries. Traditional Jermyn Street and Savile Row shops favor a 14 × 4.5 × 1 inch two-piece telescoping box that folds a standard 58-inch necktie only once down the middle, whereas direct-to-consumer brands often choose a 4.5 × 4.5 × 3.25 inch cube or drawer box for a loosely rolled tie. At CubitPack, custom tie boxes start at 1,000 units for folding cartons and 50 units for rigid boxes, with 10 to 14 business day turnaround, 4 to 5 day rush, free design help, no die charges and free shipping across all 50 states.

Every tie box is cut to your inside length × width × height in inches with no die charges. Measure your tie folded once, folded in thirds, rolled, or tied into a bow, and add ¼ inch clearance. Whether you are comparing printed necktie boxes, custom bow tie boxes, two piece tie gift boxes, menswear tie packaging or branded tie boxes, we size the template to your exact container.

- Pick flat fold, rolled or bow formatChoose a 14 in flat box for single-fold silk, a 4.5 in cube for rolled ties, or a 5.5 in box for bow ties.
- Measure blade width and loftA 3.5 in heritage blade or seven-fold tie needs more width and depth than a 2.5 in skinny tie.
- Anchor the tie insideAdd a die-cut card keeper tab, elastic loop or collar card so the tie stays centered upright.
- Match board to sales channelUse folding cartons for retail and corporate runs; use rigid chipboard for groomsmen and boutique gifts.
- Choose smooth interior liningsLine the base with lamination or custom tissue paper so paper fibers never snag fine filament silk.

A delicate seven-fold Como silk necktie, a chunky knitted wool tie and a pre-tied velvet tuxedo bow tie each need a different footprint and internal holder so the fabric arrives ready to knot. Tell us what you sell and how customers buy it, and we build the right structure.

What are the most common custom tie box mistakes?
Most neckwear packaging issues come from pinching the silk fold or letting the tie slump when stood upright. Check these five. When specifying wholesale tie boxes, bulk custom tie boxes, personalized tie boxes, custom size tie boxes and window tie boxes, avoid these common production mistakes
- Making a flat tie box under 0.75 in shallow for thick jacquard or seven-fold silk, which presses a crease into the fold.
- Omitting an interior keeper tab or tissue wrap in a 14-inch box, letting the tie slide down when displayed vertically.
- Sizing bow tie windows too close to the lid edges, weakening the corners and showing the collar card edges.
- Using rough uncoated interior board against delicate filament silk without tissue paper, which can snag fine threads.
- Shipping a thin 14-inch paperboard tie carton in a soft poly mailer without a rigid stiffener or outer mailer.

What is the standard size for a custom necktie box?
The classic flat menswear necktie box is 14 × 4.5 × 1 inches inside, which holds a 58-inch silk tie folded once in half without creasing the interlining. Rolled neckties typically fit a 4.5 × 4.5 × 3.25 inch cube, and bow ties fit 5.5 × 3.25 × 1.25 inches.
Is it better to pack a silk tie flat in a long box or rolled in a cube?
Both protect the tie well. A 14-inch flat two-piece box gives the classic department store gift reveal showing the full blade. A compact rolled-tie cube avoids horizontal fold lines and costs less to ship in e-commerce parcels.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom tie boxes?
Paperboard folding tie cartons (two-piece, tuck-end, sleeve and window styles) start at 1,000 boxes. Rigid tie gift boxes start at 50 boxes, and corrugated mailers start at 250 boxes. Small trial orders are considered case by case.
How do I stop a necktie from sliding to one end of a 14-inch box?
We add a die-cut card keeper band across the base, an interior satin or elastic loop, or a contoured card insert. Wrapping the tie in custom tissue paper with a seal sticker also holds it flat.
Can you make a box that holds a tie, a pocket square and a tie bar together?
Yes. A 14 × 6.5 × 1.25 inch flat gift box or an 8 × 6 × 2 inch rolled-tie box with a die-cut card or foam insert holds a necktie, pocket square, tie clip and cufflinks.
Can I add a clear window to show the silk pattern or bow tie knot?
Yes. Window patching adds a clear film window on a flat tie box, sleeve or bow tie carton so shoppers check the weave and color without opening the box. Open touch cutouts are also free.
How long does production take for custom printed tie boxes?
Standard production takes 10 to 14 business days after you approve your digital proof and pay. If you have a wedding season, Father's Day campaign or corporate event deadline, rush production in 4 to 5 business days is quoted per order.
Can you match our exact club, school or menswear Pantone colors?
Yes. Share your Pantone (PMS) codes for your regimental stripes, university colors or crest when requesting a quote. CubitPack guarantees Pantone color matching: if a printed Pantone shade is clearly off from the approved spec, we reprint at no cost.
Are there extra fees for custom tie box sizes or collar card inserts?
CubitPack never charges die or plate fees, even for custom bow-tie collar cards, thumb notches or window cutouts. Free design help, a 2D digital proof, a 3D mockup and free shipping to all 50 states are included.
Can I inspect the board quality and foil finish before placing a full order?
Every order includes a free 2D dieline proof and 3D mockup before payment. To feel the paperboard, soft-touch lamination and foil stamping in person first, order our $50 sample kit or a custom printed sample, both credited toward your order.
