Complete the pack
Plan the product fit, internal layout and packing sequence alongside the box. Compare paperboard dividers, corrugated supports and project-specific insert options.
A useful insert brief includes every product and accessory, contact surfaces, removal access and the required box dimensions.
02 / Surface & detail
Compare texture, reflection and detail. Confirm the chosen effect on the actual paper and artwork before production.
A low-reflection surface for a calm, understated presentation. Check handling marks on dark artwork.
A reflective surface that changes how colour and artwork catch the light. Compare a printed sample.
Metallic accents highlight selected design details. Confirm foil colour, placement and fine-line reproduction.
Raised or recessed details add a tactile dimension. Confirm the depth and clarity on the selected paper.
A selective glossy coating creates contrast against surrounding areas. Check registration against the printed design.
A material choice that brings texture to the surface. Review printing and finishing on the proposed stock.
Finishing examples show visual effects. Availability and suitable combinations depend on the material and project specification. Learn about paperboard decoration.
