A half lid packaging box in 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm: a square base tray and a lid that drops over it, with the lid skirt stopping about seven tenths of the way down. The bottom 27% of the base stays visible when the box is shut, so the side reads as lid skirt, step, exposed base. Two pieces, one board thickness at the mouth, no insert, no hardware.
What the Lid Covers, and What It Leaves
| Measure | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Outside | 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm | square in plan, straight walls |
| Lid skirt | 73% of the height | about 25.6 mm; range 71 to 75% |
| Base left showing | 27% of the height | about 9.4 mm |
| Cavity, inside the walls | about 6.6 x 6.6 cm | 7 x 7 cm less two board thicknesses each way |
| Cavity depth | about 3.2 cm | floor to mouth; nothing inside to reduce it |
| Board | 1.5 to 2 mm grey board | the thinner gauge, so a shallow box does not feel heavy |
Two Pieces, No Hardware
The base is a tray: a floor and four walls, open at the mouth. The lid is a shell: a top panel and four skirt panels, no bottom board, its inner dimension a little larger than the base’s outer dimension. It lifts straight up and drops straight back, and that is the whole mechanism.
No magnet, no hinge, no ribbon, no catch, no window. Nothing to release, nothing to line up, nothing that can break in transit. On a box this size that matters more than it sounds: small hinges and magnets are the parts that fail first, and they are also the parts that add cost to a low unit price.
The Step Is the Lid Being Wider
Because the lid is slightly wider than the base, its lower edge does not sit flush against the base wall. It stands just clear of it, and throws a shadow. That shadow is the step you see at the joint, and it is a solid relationship rather than a printed line or a colour strip.
It also does a job. The skirt never rubs the base wall on its way down, so the wrap on the base stays intact through repeated opening, and the lid self-centres as it drops because the clearance is even on all four sides.
Diamond Embossed, One Line of Gold
The wrap is a matte white stock embossed with a fine diamond pattern. The texture is pressed into the paper, not printed onto it, so it survives handling and gives the white something to catch light with. One line of gold foil sits centred on the lid: JUNYE PACKAGING, single line, no second colour.
Inside, the paper is the same stock and the same white, plain and unlined. That is deliberate: a plain cavity can be fitted out with a card tray for one product and left empty for the next.
A Plain Cavity You Can Fit Out Yourself
There is no insert, no flocking, no foam and no divider. What you get is an empty tray about 3.2 cm deep, and you decide what goes in it: a folded card platform, an EVA block, a velvet pad, or nothing at all.
Buyers who ship one product often add a card tray cut to the outline; buyers who use the box as a gift wrapper usually leave it empty. Both are the same box.
What Fits in 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm
Flat things, and things that come in pairs. Earrings, a chain, a bracelet, a lipstick, a bar of soap, a wax melt, a cable and an adapter, a pair of cufflinks, a small tin of tea, a sample you are sending to a buyer.
Measure the thickest point of the product before you choose a size: the usable depth is about 3.2 cm, and anything taller needs a deeper box rather than a longer skirt. Size is made to order, so 7 x 7 x 3.5 cm is one point in the range, not the limit.
Size, Colour, Print, Insert
Any length, width and height on the same two-piece construction; any wrap colour including a Pantone match; foil, emboss, deboss, spot UV, screen print or offset on the lid; and an optional card or EVA insert.

Questions Buyers Ask About a Half Lid Box
Why does the lid not go all the way down?
Because the skirt is cut short on purpose. A short skirt leaves part of the base showing, which gives the box a visual base and makes the lid easier to grip. It is a design decision, not a fault in the lid.
Is there a second layer inside the mouth?
No. The mouth is one board thickness and the cavity wall is the base’s own wall. The mouth is one board thickness and the cavity wall is the base’s own wall. Nothing is glued inside.
Can the box be made deeper?
Yes, at the same proportions or with a different split. If you need more depth, say so at quoting: the skirt percentage is set with the height, and the two are not independent.
Does the lid stay on in a carton?
It is a friction fit with even clearance on four sides. For small boxes shipped loose, a tissue wrap or a sleeve in the outer carton is enough. Read the rest on the FAQ page.
