When customizing packaging folding boxes or card blind boxes for your products, are you confused by the vast array of materials and craftsmanship options? Different choices directly affect the texture, durability, and cost of the product. As a smart manufacturing expert, Xindongtai will help you sort out the core points.
1. Material is the foundation: it determines texture and structure
Common materials for high-end folding boxes:
Gold and silver cardboard: It exhibits a metallic luster and a strong sense of luxury, making it the preferred choice for cosmetics and gift boxes. Special processes are required to address the issue of adhesion.
Specialty paper: such as tactile paper, kraft paper, and leatherette paper, possesses unique textures and handfeel, which can greatly enhance the brand image, and is often used in high-end luxury goods and wine packaging.
Industrial paperboard (grey board): With high structural strength, it is suitable for making high-end gift boxes such as book-style boxes and top-and-bottom-cover boxes that require good support.
Common materials used in card blind boxes:
Core requirements: durability, scratch resistance, and bending resistance.
Premium white cardstock: With moderate thickness and good stiffness, it is the standard choice for most board game cards.
Glossy paper + laminating: The surface is smooth and the color reproduction is extremely high. After being laminated with a glossy or matte film, it can effectively resist water and stains, enhancing durability.
Plastic material (such as PVC): used to make professional game cards with extremely high waterproof requirements, featuring a unique hand feel and excellent durability.
II. Craftsmanship is the soul: enhancing visual and tactile experiences
After selecting the right material, craftsmanship is the final touch that brings out the best.
Lamination (glossy/matte): The most commonly used protective process. Glossy film enhances brightness, while matte film brings a premium and soft texture.
UV spot glazing: It brings a glossy and textured feel to specific areas of the design, highlighting key information and adding a strong sense of design.
Gold/Silver Foil Stamping: It endows the product with a metallic texture, instantly enhancing its luxury. It is commonly used for details such as logos and borders.
Embossing/Debossing: Creating a relief effect on paper through pressure, enhancing tactile layers and making the design more three-dimensional.
