Gift boxes
ELMCI sources folding and rigid chocolate and macaron boxes. The box, inserts and separators are considered together against your specification.
THE STARTING POINT
Fit comes first.
Describe the contents, including the number of items and any insert or protection needed. Product dimensions and finished box dimensions are different parts of the brief.
- Contents & fit
- What goes inside, and how the items sit together.
- Opening & closure
- The way the box should open, close and be handled.
- Packing method
- Any insert, divider or assembly requirement.
DETAILS TO DEFINE
Compare the construction.
- Rigid gift box
- A formed box to discuss when structure and presentation are central to the brief.
- Folding carton
- A carton construction to consider when assembly and storage are part of the requirement.
- Surface & print
- Artwork placement and the surface appearance across the box.
- Inner packaging
- Protection, dividers or wrapping that need to work with the contents.
