2  Choose the Right Material

  • Corrugated: E/B or double-wall board for shipping; add die-cut partitions or molded pulp.
  • Wood: Pine/birch/bamboo with sliding or hinged lids; engraving or burned-in branding.
  • Eco-friendly: FSC-certified paperboard and recycled liners; aqueous/soy inks. Learn about certification on FSC.

3  Define the Box Dimensions

Single (750ml), magnum, or multi-bottle (2–6) formats with precision tolerances to eliminate rattle and reduce damage rates.

4  Design the Branding Elements

Logo hierarchy, color palette, typography, and illustrations should be consistent across packs and shippers. For exact color matching, reference the Pantone Color System.

5  Printing & Finishing Techniques

Print

  • Digital: Short runs, complex artwork, variable data.
  • Offset: Large runs with superior color fidelity (CMYK + Pantone spots).
  • Flexo: Corrugated outers with water-based coatings.

Finish

  • Soft-touch / matte / gloss lamination, anti-scuff varnish.
  • Hot foil (Au/Ag/Holographic), blind/registered emboss & deboss.
  • Spot UV, textured papers, linen or leather grains for tactile cue.
