Boxes for wired earphones, wireless earbuds and Bluetooth headsets. The insert holds the buds, the charging case and the cable where they belong. Want a window, a hang tab or a sleeve for the shop? Fine. SBS, kraft or rigid board, and US shipping is free.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Wired earphones are basically knot-making machines. Drop a pair loose in a carton and by the time it’s on a store shelf the cable’s a bird’s nest and one ear tip has gone walkabout. Handsfree packaging boxes stop that, buds sitting in an insert, the cable wound and clipped, and the charging case or adapter in its own little pocket.
Who buys them? Mobile accessory brands mostly, then phone repair shops with their own label, electronics wholesalers and marketplace sellers. Some of them sell cheap wired sets by the dozen off a gas station counter, others sell wireless earbuds at a price where the box has to justify it. Same kind of product. Totally different box.
Wired sets, easy, a tuck end box with a paperboard insert. That’s the workhorse. Two small cavities for the buds and a slot or a card for the cable to wrap round, then a window on the front so you can see the buds and a hang tab up top for the peg hook. Cheap and quick to pack, and it looks neat.
Wireless earbuds want something sturdier, and we’d usually go with a two-piece box or a sleeve and tray, with a molded or die-cut insert holding the charging case dead center and a little compartment underneath for the USB cable and spare tips. Neckbands and over-ear headsets? Deeper box, and an insert that props the band up so it doesn’t arrive bent.
Get the insert right and the whole thing feels pricier. Someone lifts the lid, sees everything lined up, and the earbuds suddenly look like they cost more than they did. Some bits we’d think about:
Small electronics slide around a lot in shipping cartons. Snug beats loose. Ask for a physical sample and you’ll see the fit for yourself before the full run.
Most electronics boxes look roughly the same, and for good reason, so it’s a product photo or illustration on the front with a few short callouts like battery life and Bluetooth version, and the specs and compatibility on the back. We print on SBS paperboard because tiny spec text comes out crisp. Matte with a spot UV logo is what we see most. Soft-touch on a wireless earbud box feels nice. Kraft, if your brand’s more natural or budget.
Our designers do the artwork and dieline for nothing, check your files, and send a digital proof. Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on style, and every box gets cheaper as the order grows. Production is 10 to 12 business days after you approve it. Free ground shipping in the USA.

We’d do a die-cut paperboard or molded one, case in the middle cavity and the cable and spare tips in a little compartment below.
Sure. Put a hang tab or euro slot at the top of the tuck end box and it’ll hang on any normal store peg.
On wired sets, yes, shoppers like seeing them. A lot of wireless brands skip the window though and just print a clean photo on the front.
