When it comes to gift giving, it's the thought that counts but if you want your gift packaging to stand out in a crowded market this festive season, a little extra detail can take it to the next level and make it truly exceptional. One way to do this is by printing your own logo or design onto our gift boxes. Your gift packaging is the first thing your customers see when they receive your product and it's essential to make an excellent first impression.
Some things to remember when choosing custom printing for your packaging…
Most importantly… We’re offering a 10% discount off the cost of print for orders placed between 7th - 18th November! Progress your print enquiry now to guarantee pre-Christmas delivery. Custom printing takes approx. 2 weeks.
24 boxes is the minimum number of boxes we can print per size. 144 or more is the most economical quantity due to fixed origination charges that apply no matter how few or how many boxes you print. Use our super quick and easyonline estimator to get an instant print price, it literally takes a minute!
If the initial price is workable, proceed to submit your enquiry, upload your artwork (if you have it) and our print team will take it from there. You will be contacted to confirm the details and process your payment. The print discount will be applied to the link we send for payment.
Seeing how our customers have printed their boxes over the years is an excellent source of design inspiration and there are lots of great images on our Printing Page and product pages. We offer a wide variety of print options. It will often depend on the finished appearance you want to achieve, or dependent on your artwork design but we can help you through the process if you’re unsure:

Photo Frames
Photo Frames are a unique accessory that complement our folding gift boxes by enabling you or your customer to add a photograph. It’s also an easy way to add your product content information, a company logo, promotional message or discount voucher to the outside or outside lid of the gift box. They're easy to affix; peel off the release paper from the self-adhesive strips on the back of the frame and stick it on the box…simple! They’re designed to hold a 6 x 4 photo (4R) or printed information. You can also mix and match photo frame colours onto different box colours. There are great images on each product page.
