Christmas always seems to arrive faster than expected – especially for anyone planning corporate gifts, client presents or seasonal product packaging. Those who only send their enquiry in December often have to compromise on material, finishing or delivery date. With a clear schedule, however, you get exactly the packaging that suits your brand – on time for the holidays.
The fourth quarter is traditionally the busiest time of year for printers and packaging manufacturers. At the same time, premium gift packaging takes longer than a simple flyer: the structure and die-cut need to fit, finishes such as hot foil or embossing require their own tooling, and a sample should be approved before the production run. The earlier you start, the more room you have for design and coordination.
At Christmas, first impressions count. Hot foil in gold, silver or copper adds festive shine, embossing makes logos tangible, and soft-touch lamination gives a velvety feel. Read more in our article Finishing that works.
A fully Christmas-themed design makes a strong statement but is only used for a few weeks. An elegant alternative: design the packaging in your brand colours and add the festive touch with a sleeve, a sticker or a greeting card. That way the box stays useful after the holidays for anniversaries, trade fairs or client gifts.
More and more recipients pay attention to the environmental footprint of a gift. We use FSC®-certified raw materials and up to 100 % recyclable materials. Kraft board deliberately underlines a natural look – and can be printed and finished to the same high standard.
