Why brands and couples still love custom matchboxes

A matchbox is small, useful and kept for a long time, which makes it one of the most effective branded keepsakes there is. Custom matchboxes use the classic sleeve-and-tray structure: an outer printed sleeve with a strike strip and an inner tray that slides out. Made to your size, they suit standard matchsticks, longer fireplace or candle matches, and decorative sets.

SBS paperboard takes full-color printing for photos and patterns, while kraft gives a natural, vintage look. Printing can wrap all four sides of the sleeve, and the tray can be printed inside for a hidden message. Foil stamping and embossing add a premium touch for weddings and luxury candle brands. Vorex supplies the custom boxes; matches themselves and the strike surface are regulated products in many places, and shipping rules vary, so check current requirements for filled matchboxes.

Custom matchboxes for weddings often carry names, a date and a small illustration, and they double as favors and table decor. Restaurants, bars and hotels print a logo, address line and a single color, which keeps the design recognizable. Candle brands use custom printed match boxes in matching colors as a gift-with-purchase. Keep the design bold, because the surface is small.
