The Two-Piece Sliding Drawer Tray and Outer Sleeve Box (Matchbox style / FEFCO 0501) is one of the most popular luxury unboxing structures for cosmetics, chocolates, jewelry, tech gadgets, and gift cards. Unlike single-piece cartons, a tray-and-sleeve box requires two precision-mated blanks: an inner four-wall tray (L × W × H) and an outer tubular wrap sleeve whose internal width and height are automatically expanded by a calibrated sliding clearance (+1.2mm to +2.5mm depending on board thickness T) so the drawer glides smoothly without binding or falling out.

Mathematical Blank & Tolerance Formulas
Unfolds the inner drawer base (L x W) and its four vertical perimeter walls (H).
Adds exact radial breathing room around the tray walls so the outer sleeve slides smoothly without friction lockup.
Wraps completely around the width and height of the inner tray plus the glue lap.
Step-by-Step Export & Assembly Guide
- 1 Enter the desired internal Length (L), Width (W), and Depth/Height (H) of the inner drawer tray.
- 2 Our engine automatically generates BOTH the Inner Drawer Tray (Part 1) and the Outer Sliding Sleeve (Part 2) side-by-side on a single 1:1 CAD canvas.
- 3 Download the .DXF, .SVG, or .PDF file and cut both components from your chosen cardstock or corrugated board.
- 4 Fold and lock the four walls of the inner tray, glue the outer sleeve along its seam flap, and slide the tray inside.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tray & Sleeve Drawer Box
Does this generator export both the inner tray and outer sleeve in one file?
Yes! Both the inner drawer tray and the outer wrap-around sleeve are generated side-by-side on the same 1:1 sheet, with the outer sleeve automatically sized to fit over the inner tray.
How do I prevent the sliding sleeve from being too tight or too loose?
Simply enter your exact board thickness (T) in millimeters. Our formula sets the sleeve clearance to max(1.2mm, 1.5*T), which provides a smooth friction glide.
Does the inner drawer tray include a thumb notch or ribbon pull tab?
Yes! The front wall of the inner drawer tray includes an ergonomic semi-circular thumb notch cutout so the end user can effortlessly pull the drawer open.
Can I use double-wall folding walls on the inner drawer tray for luxury cosmetic sets?
Yes, our inner tray dieline includes full-height perimeter walls plus corner locking ear flaps and rollover reinforcement panels for a clean, rigid edge profile.
