Match Boxes

Designed for the Drawer: Why Custom Match Boxes Endure

Match boxes are small, but they carry a lot of brand weight. They are handled directly, opened repeatedly, and often kept rather than thrown away. That makes them different from most disposable packaging.

A well-made custom match box protects the matches inside, slides smoothly, and holds its shape even after regular use. It also gives brands a physical touchpoint that feels intentional, not generic. For hospitality, candle brands, and event packaging, this kind of detail helps build familiarity and repeat recognition without saying a word.

Packaging Designed to Hold Match Sticks Firmly

Matches are fragile. If the inner tray is loose or the sleeve is thin, match sticks bend or snap during transport. We design our match box packaging to hold the matches firmly in place, whether you are supplying small boxes of matches or longer match stick boxes.

The structure is tested to reduce movement, limit friction, and prevent damage during bulk shipping. This also helps reduce waste and customer complaints, especially for match boxes sold in bulk or supplied across multiple locations.

Perfecting Your Brand Print on Every Match Box We Make

Our printed match boxes are produced using durable inks that hold up to handling and friction. Whether you need a minimal logo or full-coverage artwork, the finish stays clean without rubbing or fading too quickly.

We supply personalised match boxes for brands, events, and venues that want a tailored look without overcomplicating the design. If required, we can work from an existing match box template or help refine artwork so it prints correctly on smaller surfaces.

Both short-run and wholesale match box orders are supported, depending on your volume needs.

Colour Options From Muted Neutrals to Premium Metallics

Colour plays a big role in how match boxes are perceived. Some brands prefer muted tones that sit quietly on a table. Others want contrast that stands out in retail or gift packaging.

We regularly produce match boxes in neutral shades like white, brown, and black, as well as more expressive options such as deep blue, soft green, metallic silver, or gold finishes for premium uses. The colour choice is matched carefully with ink coverage so the box still feels solid and clean after handling.

Rather than pushing trends, we focus on what works for repeated use and long shelf life.

Match Box Packaging Built for Fit, Safety & Consistent Use

Not every match box needs to look the same. Depending on how the product will be used, we offer several formats:

• Traditional sliding match box sleeves
• Plain match boxes for hospitality or refill use
• Bespoke match boxes designed for gifting or events
• Longer match boxes for fireplaces or candle lighting

Each style is adjusted for fit, safety, and ease of use. This keeps the experience consistent, whether the match box is used once or kept for months.

Our Box Supply for High Volume and Small Run Needs

Our custom match boxes are supplied across a wide range of industries. Restaurants and bars use them as branded table items. Candle brands include them with product packaging. Event planners order bespoke match boxes for weddings and corporate functions. Retailers rely on match boxes wholesale for steady stock.

Because we manufacture at scale, we can support both small runs and high-volume supply without compromising consistency.

Sustainable by Design, Reliable by Default

Where relevant, we use responsibly sourced board and controlled production processes to reduce waste. Sustainability is considered in materials and sizing, but never at the cost of performance. A match box still has to protect what’s inside and function properly first.

From Prototype to Pallet: The Healey Packaging Promise

We have spent years producing packaging that people actually use, not just look at. Our experience with match box packaging comes from volume production, not one-off samples. That means better fit, fewer issues in transit, and packaging that behaves the same from the first order to the last.

We focus on practicality, reliability, and long-term use, because those are the things customers notice.
