Description

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.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the magnets weaken after many openings, causing the doors to sag or stay open?
We use sintered neodymium magnets — the same grade used in consumer electronics and high-end garment closures — rather than the ferrite disc magnets common in budget gift boxes. Neodymium magnets do not demagnetise through normal use; their rated holding force is stable across tens of thousands of cycles. The magnets are also recessed and bonded into a machined cavity in the greyboard rather than surface-glued, so there is no risk of pop-out under load. Pull-strength is calibrated at specification stage to match the door panel weight, ensuring a satisfying resistance that holds firmly closed without requiring excess force to open.
What is the difference between spot UV and full-colour UV printing, and which should I choose?
Full-colour UV printing (as used on the DHP plum edition) reproduces photographic-quality imagery and complex multi-colour artwork across the entire surface. Spot UV (as used on the ABK6 sage edition) applies a clear gloss varnish in a specific registered pattern over an already-printed or solid-colour surface, creating a tactile matte-vs-gloss contrast without adding a second colour. Spot UV is the preferred technique when the design relies on textural depth, tonal subtlety, and a restrained palette — common for heritage spirits brands that favour understatement. Full-colour UV is better when the design features rich illustrative artwork, photography, or multiple saturated colours. Both techniques can be combined on a single box — for example, a full-colour botanical base with a registered spot UV gloss over selected leaf elements. We provide a physical strike-off proof of both techniques before production approval.
Can the double door cognac box ship with the bottle already inside, or does the bottle need to be inserted on arrival?
Yes — unlike flat-pack collapsible boxes, this is a fully rigid set-up box that arrives pre-formed. Your team simply places the bottle into the cavity and closes the magnetic doors. The box can then be shipped filled (B2C direct-to-consumer) provided the outer carton provides adequate cushioning, or it can be handed over as a filled gift box at a retail counter or event. For high-value e-commerce shipping we recommend adding an EVA foam cradle insert to prevent the bottle from shifting inside the cavity during transit, and outer corrugated carton padding to protect the exterior print. We can supply recommended outer carton specifications as part of the project brief.
How accurate is silver foil stamping on a dark, heavily printed surface like the plum botanical paper?
Foil stamping on dark substrates is a known technical challenge: if the die temperature or pressure is too low, the foil adhesion is weak and the edges appear ragged; too high, and fine letterforms fill in and serif details are lost. We use thermobaric (temperature-and-pressure calibrated) hot-stamping presses with custom-machined brass dies. For the DHP edition’s baroque scroll ornament — which includes intricate curved lines as narrow as 0.3mm — we ran a series of temperature-pressure test stamps on the actual specialty paper before committing to production settings, ensuring every foil element on every box in the batch is sharp, fully adhered, and consistent. A first-article inspection report is available for all foil-stamped orders upon request.
