Branded rigid slide boxes, also commonly referred to as rigid match boxes, rigid tray and sleeve boxes, and rigid drawer boxes, have a sleeve enclosure and a separate tray that slides in and out. The boxes are similar to a match box in their shape and function. In addition, the tray part can also have optional custom inserts and sections made of foam, cardstock or rigid cardstock.

In general, there are two types. The first type is shaped like a regular box that has one side open. This open side is used to slide the tray part in and out. The second variant has both sides open similar to a match box and the tray can be inserted or removed from either side.

A split drawer rigid box, also referred to as a split slide rigid box, has two sleeve parts that go on from either side of the tray and meet in the middle. The length of two sleeves can be identical as well as varying depending upon design requirements.

High end slide boxes have a ribbon attached to the tray part to pull it out effortlessly. Alternatively, the sleeve part can also have strategically placed thumb cutout in order to hook the tray and slide it out.
