1. Construction
Universal Box Catalogue
There is a great number of box types. In order not to reinvent the wheel, and not to waste time on numerous verbal descriptions and corrections, the European organizations, namely FEFCO (the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers, site: www.fefco.org) и ESBO (the European Solid Board Organisation, site: www.esbo.nl), created a catalogue of case and packaging constructions codes, i.e. International Fibreboard Case Code, with simple symbols internationally understood by all, regardless of language.
Some Samples from FEFCO Code

When ordering a gift box you may select a box construction out of the options listed in the FEFCO Code which will considerably simplify and fasten the selection and manufacturing process of your gift box. In any case our consultants will assist you in finding the most optimal option for you
Classification of gift box constructions
For gift box production four types of cardboard are used: coated cardboard, art cardboard, corrugated cardboard and binder board.
Gift boxes of coated cardboard
Constructions of coated cardboard are the most modest and popular in gift box production. Due to cardboard flexibility such constructions are easily cut out, and low thickness and coated surface of the cardboard allow printing machines to print bright and rich images and details on the gift box.
Gift boxes of coated cardboard are used in nearly all industries, starting from cake and tooth paste cases up to exclusive perfumes and famous alcoholic beverages packaging.
Quantity may vary from several hundred up to million items which makes this type of case acceptable for any client category.

Gift boxes of corrugated cardboard
Constructions of corrugated cardboard are more durable because of thick sides. This is due to the special structure of corrugated cardboard, the inner side of which consists of cardboard of wavy form (corrugation) that adds volume to the gift box sides and durability to the case in whole. The front face of the case is coated paper that allows to print images of perfect quality on the gift box.
Generally boxes of corrugated cardboard are used in those gift boxes when ordinary coated cardboard doesn’t suit, i.e. deforms or tears. This happens with heavy and unwieldy goods, such as iron or two one-liter bottles.
Like in the case of constructions of coated cardboard, quantity for this type of boxes is actually not limited. However, the price of gift boxes of corrugated cardboard certainly will be 10-20% higher.

Gift boxes of binder board
Constructions of binder board are considered to be exclusive and premium. Basis of such gift box is 1.5-3 mm cardboard of high mechanical reliability. First gift box (or its main parts) is made of binder board, then printed paper, or more often special box material, is glued (laminated) on the finished details. Diversity of gift box materials with leather, wood and other textures, as well as weight and reliability of construction make gift cases of binder board unique and stylish.
Gift boxes of binder board are mainly used for expensive and exclusive goods. Limited collections and special editions of various kinds seldom have ordinary packaging of coated cardboard. In spite of the fact that gift boxes of binder board are products of premium class and consequently are used for expensive goods, very often to emphasize the uniqueness of an item or the importance of an event, an item can be packaged into a more expensive case than the item itself.

2. Decoration
The term “decoration” implies all additional actions that paper or gift box material undergoes, and that add individuality and attractiveness to a gift box. These are printing, varnishing, embossing, foil stamping and lamination. Decorative accessories are other important design features of binder board gift cases, e.g. hinges, locks, nameplates, decorative letters and seals, decorative seams, ribbons, longerons and other details that add special appeal to a box.

Offset printing is ideal for printing full-color images on the coated paper.

Screen printing doesn’t require any special type of paper and is ideal for printing with one or two colors that come out more bright and saturated.

Screen printing
Lamination protects the paper surface from abrasion and other damage, as well as adds glitter to an image in case of lamination with glossy film and softens colors in case of lamination with matt film.

Lamination
Selective varnishing marks out particular areas of an image by adding mat or glossy patterns which makes the image richer and more real.

Foil stamping is a process of creating relief patterns and designs on a cardboard by raising the image above the surface and highlighting its dimensions and forms.

Foil stamping
Embossing allows most realistic reproduction of gold or silver colors, their brilliance and brightness on account of micro-foil use in the process.

Hinges add style, stability and durability to your case.
