Printing
SOME IMPORTANT NOTES ON PRINTING ONTO OUR BOXES:
- Note that printing options shown here only apply to print onto our stock gift boxes.
- For available box sizes and colour options check our Home Page.
- Stock boxes are already manufactured, so printing options are limited to the outside and inside lid of the box only. * We cannot change the box size or colour.
- Adding a logo enables you to personalise gift boxes without the large volume commitment and long lead time needed for a fully made to order box.
- 24 is the minimum number of boxes we can print per size. 144 or more is the most economic quantity due to fixed origination charges that apply no matter how few or how many boxes you print.
- All boxes are packed in 12’s so print quantities are in multiples of 12.
- We can use foil, print ink to match a Pantone colour, or deboss your logo. Multiple print colours and CMYK print are also possible depending on registration, design complexity and box colour.
- We cannot bleed print over the edges of the box and require a minimum 1cm – 2cm border from the edge of the print logo or design to the edge of the box.
- Allow around 2-3 weeks delivery for custom printing from receipt of your artwork and payment to delivery of printed boxes. During busy times, especially September – December it can take longer.
- We also offer fully made to order boxes with many custom options shown in detail on our Bespoke Page based on a minimum 2,000 boxes. You will need to allow 12-14 weeks delivery for this option.
1 COLOUR FOIL BLOCKING
Learn More
Also known as foil printing, or hot foil stamping.
-
- A process that uses heat and pressure to apply your logo or design with a very thin layer of pre-glued foil film to the surface of the gift box.
- First, your logo or design is etched into a metal block (also known as a die, plate or stamp).
- The metal block is fixed into the foil blocking machine and heated to a high temperature.
- Under pressure the metal block presses your selected foil film colour into the box surface in the shape of the etched design.
- Foil film is supplied on rolls and cut down to the required logo width from larger rolls.
- Traditionally foil colours were commonly gold or silver but foils are available in a wide selection of colours, including matt finishes. Copper and rose gold are currently very popular.
- Foil is most commonly used and recommended if you want a metallic shiny effect to your logo and produces a premium quality finish.
- Foils have their own colour references depending on the manufacturer. Kurz, Phillips Foils and Foilco are the most common foils used.
- Foils are not supplied as Pantone colours but we can usually find a close workable match to a Pantone reference.
- Foil is a solid colour, shading and half-tones cannot be achieved.
- Due to the application of heat and pressure, the logo is depressed slightly into the surface of the box.
- Each box is printed individually by hand, this is not an automatic process and requires a skilled printer.
