Window tie boxes hold a folded necktie flat behind a clear panel, so customers see the silk, pattern and knot before they buy. Made in kraft, printed board or rigid stock, sized for single ties or tie and pocket square sets.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Ties sell on pattern. Same price on a navy grenadine and a paisley silk? Doesn’t matter, people still want to see the color and the weave up close before they pick one. Window tie boxes give them that view without letting them unfold the tie on the shop counter and leave it creased. The tie sits flat, folded in thirds or quarters, behind a clear window in the lid.
Menswear shops, wedding suppliers, independent tie makers and corporate gift companies order these. Groomsmen sets are a big one. So are Father’s Day gifts, where the box really needs to look like a present straight off the shelf.
Most ties are folded into a slim rectangle about the length of a hand. The box is sized to that fold, with a shallow depth so the tie can’t slide around. An insert card with a small slot or a ribbon loop keeps the tie centered under the window, so the best part of the pattern faces up.
Bow ties are simpler, they sit pre-tied on a little cradle. Tie and pocket square sets need a wider box with two sections. And if you sell cufflinks too, a combined box works, or pair it with our custom cufflink boxes for a gift set.
This box sits under the eco-friendly side of our range for a reason. Kraft board with a simple one-color print suits handmade and natural fiber ties, and most kraft boxes are recyclable. It also makes a silk tie look richer by contrast. Our article on what kraft paper is covers why it’s so popular.
For a dressier look, printed SBS paperboard in black or navy, or a rigid board box with a window lid, feels more formal. Foil stamping a logo in gold or silver on dark board is classic for menswear, and it’s hard to go wrong with it.
Most folks go rectangle. We’ve also done ovals, and one shaped like the pointy tip of a tie, which looked great. Whatever shape, leave at least a thumb’s width of board around it, or the lid goes soft and the corners start to buckle after a week on display, and we glue the clear film on the inside of the lid so the shelf can’t scratch it.
Matte lamination if you like it quiet. Emboss or deboss a crest or a monogram and people can’t help running a finger over it. Our design team sets up the dieline, places the window and lays out artwork at no extra cost, then sends a digital proof. Our standard tie boxes are there if you’d rather skip the window, and the full window packaging range has more ideas.
Not if the box fits the fold and has a light insert. Problems usually come from boxes that are too deep, where the tie shifts and creases at the bend.
Yes, with a wider box and a divided insert. Many wedding and gift brands sell them this way.
Not big, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and the more you order the less each box costs. Production takes 10 to 12 business days after proof approval, and ground shipping is free in the USA.
Plenty of customers order this alongside custom eco friendly packaging boxes and custom tray and sleeve packaging boxes. More styles are in eco-friendly boxes.
