Material specs

02
Colours & printing
Every sheet prints CMYK for photos and gradients or Pantone for exact brand colours, inside and out. Kraft and recycled boards can stay uncoated for a natural look, or take matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination.
03
Texture
Texture changes how light and fingers read the surface. Choose a paper with its own grain, or add emboss or deboss to a smooth sheet for texture without ink. We show the grain on a sample before the run.
04
Gold & silver card
Metallic card for lids, wraps and accent panels. Gloss faces read bright and sharp; matte faces calm the shine down. The sheet wraps or mounts over board, with weights matched to your structure and confirmed on your quote.
05
Pearl paper
Pearlescent sheets give a soft shimmer that shifts with the light — a favourite for cosmetics and jewellery. Common families include plain pearl, iridescent and starlit effects; we match the weight to your box structure and confirm it on your quote.
06
Leather-look paper
An embossed-grain paper that reads as leather — the premium cue for jewellery, wine and watch packaging. It wraps cleanly over rigid board, takes hot foil and blind emboss well, and needs no lamination.
07
Paper-backed cloth
Real cloth bonded to a paper backing, so it wraps rigid board like paper but keeps a woven hand-feel. Note for buyers: fine print does not hold on cloth, so plan foil or deboss for branding and allow slightly more wrap tolerance at corners.
08
Glitter paper
A sparkle sheet for cosmetic, holiday and gifting runs. Best as a wrap or accent panel over a solid-colour base board rather than a full print surface — keep branding to hot foil or a clean label so the sparkle stays the hero.
