Design Tips

  • Think inside the box... design your package around the items you are putting in it. We'll help you with the size!
  • Be one sided... make sure the paper you choose is coated on one side only.
  • Keep us covered... bleed your art at least one half inch beyond the finished trim size of the wrap.
  • Be magnetic... there are certain design limitations associated with magnetic closures, we can guide you through them!
  • Lighten up... heavier board and paper does not necessarily make a stronger package, let us help you make the best selection.
  • Keep your coat on... Coatings can greatly improve the durability and appearance of your package, we'll recommend the best one for your application.
  • Don't crack up... printing large areas of dark colors on white substrates usually results in cracking of the color at folds and cuts.
  • Don't come unglued... make sure the coating you choose is compatible with our adhesives.
  • Clear it up... Clear plastic lids are available for better product visibility or extra protection within the package.
  • It's not all black and white... We can line the inside of your package with virtually any color paper.
  • Shine on... we can foil stamp your art in a wide variety of bright, matte, metallic, solid color and even holographic foils.
  • All thumbs... We can cut any shape thumb notch to facilitate cover and/or product removal.
  • To die for... We can die cut virtually any shape opening in your package for a dramatic view of the contents.
  • On the soapbox... Platforms can greatly improve your product visibility and also provide superior protection for fragile items.
  • When considering the cost of your packaging don't forget to include the joy filled hours spent bending, tucking and folding. Rigid boxes require no assembly.
  • Foil lined board on the interior of the box greatly reduces the permeability of fluids such as oils.
