Branding Options
Creating bespoke boxes for our clients often involves branding on the outside (or inside) of the box - delivering a clear brand message to your customers. We have a range of different branding options available at Tiny Box Maker to personalise your bespoke packaging, adding a luxury finish and helping your business stand out from the crowd. Foiling, within certain size restrictions, is carried out in-house, and larger, more complex foiling can be sent out. Digital or litho print options are also available, or why not consider a combination of the processes?
Foil Printing
Also known as foil stamping or debossing, this is a technique that involves applying foil to a paper surface using heat and pressure. Foiling does not always mean a metallic finish - we can do matte, colours, white, gloss, holographic, or clear effects. This process is regularly used in bespoke packaging as it can create detailed designs/effects and can be added to several areas of your boxes, both inside and out.
Please note - we will need to see your artwork before we can produce a final quote, as there are size restrictions for what Tiny Box Maker can complete in-house. If in any doubt, please call our team to discuss your requirements and we will be happy to advise options and solutions. There will be a one-off foil plate charge for each foil required, which can then be reused for repeat orders. We foil the paper before we cover the board - if we are blind debossing or debossing, this is done once the boxes are made and covered. Please be aware there are restrictions on the depth of box we can offer with this process.
Digital Printing
Digital printing uses inkjet or laser printers to produce high-quality prints, allowing the flexibility of full colour print. It has a fast turnaround time and is ideal for printing full colour logos, photos or designs, with its opaque ink providing excellent coverage on paper. Often a laminated finish is required to protect the print – this can be matte or gloss depending on your preferred choice.
Litho Printing
Litho printing uses plates and ink to transfer images onto box paper or other surfaces. It’s a traditional printing method and is known for its high quality and durability, and is often used for large-scale printing projects. Lithography has the ability to reproduce complex images accurately, and is widely used due to its versatility and reliability.
Why should I choose foil, digital, or litho printing?
Foil, digital, and litho printing are all great ways to add a personalised touch to your custom packaging, with your brand's logo or message. Foil printing will add that extra bit of luxury to your brand that will differentiate you from the competition. While it is limited to single colour designs, it can be added to multiple areas of your boxes - in each area, we can foil in different colours and finishes. Digital printing can produce full colour designs in high quality, and lithography also offers high-quality prints with fine details and vibrant colours.
