Sized for Folded Garments
Unlike a generic gift box, a shirt box is proportioned around a folded shirt, polo, or sweater so the garment sits flat without creasing or overcrowding, and the lid lifts straight off for a clean first look, similar in spirit to our custom t-shirt boxes line but built specifically around the classic lift-off shirt-box format.
Who Buys Shirt Boxes
- Apparel and fashion brands packaging folded shirts for retail or online sale.
- Corporate gifting programs sending branded apparel to employees or clients.
- Boutiques and specialty retailers wanting an in-store unboxing feel.
- Custom merchandise brands shipping printed or embroidered shirts direct to fans.
Tissue and Insert Options
Tissue paper wraps, printed tissue, and thin foam or cardboard dividers can all be added inside the box to present a folded garment cleanly and keep it from shifting during transit.
Material and Finish Options
Matte, gloss, soft-touch, and kraft finishes are available, with foil stamping and embossing for brands that want their logo to be the first thing a customer sees.
Sizing for Multiple Garment Types
Shirt boxes can be sized for a single folded tee, a stacked multi-shirt set, or a polo-and-accessory bundle, with depth adjusted so the lid sits flush without crushing the fabric underneath.
Eco-Friendly Rigid Shirt Boxes
A 2025 McKinsey & Company survey found over 60% of U.S. consumers pick green packaging when they have the choice. Crat Packaging offers recyclable and FSC-certified board options for our shirt box line.
