The Perfect Combination Of Design With Custom Box Packaging

There are a number of ways to design your custom packaging boxes. The real question is, which one of them will work. We are here to help you figure that out by reading through some useful information. The concept of custom boxes originated with the need to have something printed on the box. It later evolved into being able to modify the entire box.

How To Create The Perfect Packaging For Your Brand?

Creating boxes from scratch for the first time can be a little tough. If you get a hold of what is going around you may be able to help your brand better. Let’s take a look at what is going around with custom box packaging. First and foremost, custom packaging enables you to make the final packaging exactly as per your requirement. From the smallest things like box style to material selection is all up to you. Finding the right place to do it can also be figured out with a little study online.

The need to create custom packaging is only increasing with time. Ever since the unboxing experience came to life, the demand is rising exponentially with each passing day. We need to get aboard this fast moving train as soon as possible. Let your packaging supplier know what the dimensions of the box need to be. If you are not very positive about that, let the vendor get product measurements. One of the two needs to be done in order to get them started with something.

After the measurements are sorted out, you need to go ahead and choose the best style. Meeting the box style requirement depends on your product and don’t hesitate to ask if you feel lost. There are support advisors on almost every supplier website to help customers out with technical support.

What Are The Basic Design Requirements For Custom Printed Packaging Boxes

There are a number of requirements when trying to print a design. Depending on the box style and the design, the files need to be in a specific format. You can always ask your vendor for their preference but the formats usually used are pretty common. Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Coral Draw formats are acceptable anywhere/ All you have to do is make sure the file is editable and is above or equal to 300 dpi.

How To Effectively Use Special Effects And Add-Ons

Custom packaging boxes are the perfect example to print or use add-ons. But before we go ahead and discuss add-ons, let’s find out about some different types;

Foiling:

Foiling is often used to represent high end product packaging and we totally agree. This effect appears to be brushed metallic and embossed into the box. This gives it a very appealing lookover and tends to turn some heads. Wherever the brand logo is, you can have it foiled in a number of colors. There is gold, silver, copper, black and even red.

Spot UV:

Spot UV is the process of making a specific area shine. Custom box packaging with the spot UV effect can increase sales. Imagine a matte surface with a specific area shining regardless of the surface. This effect is called the spot UV effect and there are a few types. Spot UV is any area that has printing underneath the shiny layer. Another category to take a look at is blind UV which is any area made shiny without anything underneath.

Is It Possible To Add Embossing On A Box?

It is possible to add embossing on any box that is not made out of rigid material. Everything else can be embossed and debossed (opposite of emboss) as per your brand requirement. Rigid material cannot be embossed due to the thick material being used to make them. It is therefore not recommended to use embossing on a rigid box. The effect you expect to see might never leave an impression nulling its presence.
