The Book-Style Grand Opening
Double Door Cognac Box — Magnetic Book-Style Spirits Gift Packaging with UV Print & Silver Foil
When a bottle of XO cognac represents a generation of craft, its packaging should open with equal ceremony. The PackPrince double door cognac box is a rigid, square-format gift box engineered around a book-style double-door magnetic closure: two panels swing open simultaneously from the centre, each held shut by precisely calibrated neodymium magnets hidden within the greyboard walls, and released with a single pull of the satin ribbon tab. The result is an opening ritual — slow, weighted, intentional — that sets the mood before the bottle is ever touched. Available in two bespoke colourways as shown (a sage-green baroque edition for ABK6 XO and a deep-plum botanical edition for DHP XO), each version is finished with full-colour UV printing on premium specialty paper, silver foil-stamped branding, spot UV pattern layering, and a metallic or white interior lining. Every element is fully customisable to your house’s visual identity.
*Both colourways shown — sage baroque (ABK6 XO) and deep plum botanical (DHP XO) — are client-specific designs. All surface graphics, paper stocks, foil colours, and interior linings are fully bespoke.
Signature Opening Mechanism
Magnetic Double-Door Closure with Satin Ribbon Pull
Standard single-lid boxes open with a simple lift. The double-door magnetic cognac box opens like the pages of a rare manuscript — both panels parting symmetrically from the centre, guided by the resistance of hidden neodymium magnets and initiated with a grosgrain ribbon tab anchored cleanly into the side panel. This bilateral reveal creates a visual axis that frames the bottle, positions it as the centrepiece, and gives the recipient an active role in the unboxing. Each door panel is constructed from 3mm grey board laminated to a 2mm inner layer, giving the panels enough mass that they open with a deliberate, weighted swing rather than snapping loosely. The magnets are recessed flush so there is no visible hardware on the exterior surface.
Surface Craft — Edition I
Sage Baroque: Tonal Spot UV on Specialty Green Paper
The sage-green colourway — designed for ABK6 XO Renaissance — achieves its signature look through a two-step surface process. First, the acanthus scroll pattern is printed in a slightly deeper sage tone across the entire specialty paper face. Second, a precisely registered spot UV gloss varnish is applied over the scroll motif, making the pattern catch light from different angles — matte where your eye rests, brilliantly luminous where the light hits. This tonal, textural interplay creates depth without colour contrast, giving the box an understated luxury that photographs exceptionally well under both studio and ambient light. The brand badge at centre uses thermobaric silver foil stamping for crisp definition on the detailed logowork, and a hand-applied black border strip frames all four edges, referencing the refined structure of traditional cognac house packaging.
Surface Craft — Edition II
Deep Plum Botanical: Full-Colour UV Print with Silver Foil Ornament
The deep-plum colourway — created for DHP XO Renaissance — takes a more painterly approach. A rich full-colour CMYK UV print lays a dense botanical pattern of overlapping tropical leaves across the dark plum specialty paper, with individual fronds rendered in lilac, dusty blue, charcoal, and near-black tones to create remarkable depth within an intentionally dark palette. A sweeping baroque scroll ornament is then applied in flat silver foil over the print, its high-contrast metallic surface catching light in a way that printed silver ink never could. The brand badge is similarly foil-stamped. Inside the doors, the botanical pattern continues onto the inner panel faces with the brand logo centred, ensuring that even the opened box is a complete visual object. White paperboard lines the cavity, providing a clean contrast against the dark exterior and making the bottle stand out immediately upon opening.
Interior Construction
Metallic & White Lining Options — Every Interior is Brand Real Estate
The interior of a double-door spirits box is the first thing the recipient sees when the panels part. Both editions treat this space as a continuation of the brand story. The ABK6 edition uses a silver metallic specialty paper lining throughout the cavity walls and base — the reflective surface amplifies the bottle’s silhouette and the cool sage tones of the exterior, unifying the design. The DHP edition uses high-white matte paperboard, creating a deliberate light-vs-dark contrast that immediately draws the eye inward. For either colourway, the inner door panels are printed to match the exterior — meaning the open box is a full 180° branded environment. Optional upgrades include precision-cut EVA foam bottle cradles for added protection during transit, satin or velvet base lining, and hot-stamped interior copy such as tasting notes, house history, or QR codes linking to digital brand content.
Square Format — Built for Short-Bottle Spirits
Proportioned for XO Cognac, Armagnac & Flat-Bottle Spirits
Unlike tall wine boxes, the double door cognac box uses a broad, shallow square footprint that perfectly suits the squat, dome-shouldered bottle profile typical of XO cognac and armagnac. The cavity dimensions are engineered so the bottle sits centred and fully visible when the doors are open, with no interior insert required to hold it upright. This same footprint also suits wide-body whisky decanters, premium gin bottles with decorative stoppers, and flat perfume bottles. Custom cavity sizing is available at no additional tooling cost from 500 units, allowing a precise fit for any bottle profile. A bespoke foam cradle can be added for bottles that require protection against lateral movement during shipping.
