Start with your product
What does your box need to do?
Look good on a shelf? Arrive safely through the post? Make a gift feel special? Start with the job it needs to do, and we’ll help with the details.

Keep the look natural
Kraft packaging for a simple, textured look. We’ll help you check print contrast and the right board for the job.
Discuss this style ↗A price you can plan around
Good packaging should work for your budget, too.
There isn’t one useful price for every custom box. Size, quantity, board and print all affect the cost. Tell us your budget and we can discuss where to keep things simple and where a finish will make a difference.
Right size
Share your product dimensions and weight. A close fit can reduce wasted space; fragile items may still need an insert or extra protection.
Right quantity
Start from 100 boxes. If you expect to reorder, ask us to compare quantities so you can weigh up the cost per box against storage and cash flow.
Right specification
Choose board and printing for the way the box will be used. A simpler finish can be a sensible choice when your artwork already does the talking.
A little more certainty before you commit
Get a feel for the box. Literally.
A screen can show a design. A physical sample lets you handle the board, see how the box opens and judge the finish for yourself. Ask for a sample delivered for £25.
Ask about a £25 sample ↗Tell us which style you’d like to see. We’ll confirm what the sample includes, whether it carries your artwork, and when it can arrive before you pay.
Materials, print & finishing
Choose the finish that fits your brand.
You don’t need to know every board grade or print term. Tell us the look you want and how the packaging will be handled.
Folding cartons
A lightweight format for many retail products. Board choice depends on the product and the protection it needs.
Corrugated board
A useful starting point for postal and shipping boxes. Strength and inserts should match the contents and delivery journey.
Rigid presentation boxes
A substantial feel for gifting and premium ranges. Discuss the structure, opening style and internal fit.
Print & finishing
Explore full-colour print, foil, embossing or spot UV. Availability and price depend on your chosen box specification.
Looking for a more considered material choice? Ask about the recycled content and recyclability of your chosen board and finish. Coatings, windows and inserts can change the answer.

Holographic foil

Holographic foil
Colour that shifts with the light.
The look & feel
A reflective foil creates a rainbow effect as the viewing angle changes. Use it as a selective accent so the design stays easy to read.
Where it works well
Launch collections, gift packaging and bold logos or graphic patterns.
Preparing your artwork
Supply the foil area as a separate, clearly labelled artwork layer. Ask us to check small text, fine lines and spacing before production.

A warm metallic finishing touch.
The look & feel

Where it works well
Beauty, jewellery, gifting and presentation packaging where a warm metallic detail suits the brand.
Preparing your artwork
Keep foil artwork separate from printed colours. Share the gold tone and coverage you have in mind so we can check suitable options.

Silver foil
Clean lines. A cool metallic shine.
The look & feel
Silver foil gives selected shapes or lettering a reflective metallic finish. It can create a strong contrast against darker printed colours.
Where it works well
Minimal branding, cosmetics, technology accessories and gift boxes.
Preparing your artwork
Mark the foil areas on a separate artwork layer. Fine lines, small gaps and large solid areas need checking against the chosen board.

Spot UV
Explore finishExplore the finish
Spot UV
Gloss where you want the attention.
The look & feel
A clear gloss coating is applied to selected areas to contrast with the surrounding surface. The effect becomes more visible as the box catches the light.
Where it works well
Logos, patterns and product details on designs that benefit from a gloss-and-matt contrast.
Preparing your artwork
Provide a separate layer showing exactly where the gloss should appear. We will check alignment, coating compatibility and areas near folds.
Illustrative sample. The result, availability and cost depend on your board, box and artwork. We will confirm suitable options in your quote.

Embossing
Explore finishExplore the finish
Embossing
A detail you can feel.
The look & feel
Embossing raises a design above the board surface to create a detail you can feel. It can be left unprinted for a subtle blind-embossed effect.
Where it works well
Simple logos, decorative motifs and tactile details on gifting and presentation packaging.
Preparing your artwork
Clear shapes usually show the effect best. Board thickness, artwork detail and placement affect the result; ask us to check the design before approval.
Illustrative sample. The result, availability and cost depend on your board, box and artwork. We will confirm suitable options in your quote.

Debossing
Explore finishExplore the finish
Debossing
Understated depth, pressed into the board.
The look & feel
Debossing presses a design into the board, creating a recessed impression and soft shadows. A blind deboss leaves the impression without added ink or foil.
Where it works well
Understated logos, monograms and patterns on premium presentation packaging.
Preparing your artwork
Share a separate layer for the recessed artwork. We will check board suitability, detail size and placement away from folds and edges.
Illustrative sample. The result, availability and cost depend on your board, box and artwork. We will confirm suitable options in your quote.

Will the printed colours match my screen?
Screens and printed board show colour differently. The material and finish also affect the result. If a brand colour is critical, share the colour reference and discuss an appropriate colour check or printed sample before approving production.
Are the boxes recyclable or suitable for food?
That depends on the complete specification and how the packaging will be used. Ask for details about your chosen material, coatings, inks and inserts. For direct food contact, describe the food and intended use so suitability can be confirmed before ordering.
Can I reorder the same packaging?
Yes, contact us with your previous order details and the quantity you need. We’ll check the specification, artwork version, current price and delivery timing before you confirm the repeat order.
