A product on a shelf among 10 others requires something to make the shopper’s eye stop moving. That is not the case with matte cardboard. Gold foil or a holographic shimmer does. This is why Custom Metalized Boxes are the ultimate solution for brands seeking to elevate their look without overhauling their product offerings.
Metalized Packaging is the preferred choice for Growing Brands due to its various benefits.
Foil-Printed Boxes address a particular issue; standing out on a shelf full of boxes that come from the same flat, matte packaging everyone else had obtained from a catalog. The metallic finish reflects light in various ways, depending on the angle, making the box continually attractive even after it has been viewed once.
That sort of shelf visibility is virtually free for a brand like the USA, which is struggling to compete with larger brands that have larger advertising budgets. The box advertises on its own.
The truth about the benefits of sun protection.
Custom Boxes Wholesale pricing makes metalized packaging affordable, even for brands that aren’t ordering by the tens of thousands yet. CBM’s key to building each order is the focus on what makes sense for a growing brand: Free Design support, No Minimum order requirements, and Eco Friendly base materials, meaning that premium doesn’t have to be wasteful.
Foil and holographic finishes also last longer than most people would think. A good foil application of gold or silver does not peel or tarnish after the product has been handled, which is important for products that pass through retail shipping before they ever hit a shelf.
The real-life applications of Metalized Boxes.
Custom gold foil boxes provide a touch of luxury and elegance to any product that is marketed as such, whether it’s a cosmetic or a skincare item. Custom silver foil boxes are used by jewelry and accessory brands when the packaging must be as thoughtful as the jewelry itself. Custom holographic boxes are especially popular for limited releases of beverage and specialty food brands, as the finish is a statement of “special edition” without the need to add additional text to the box.
Metalized finishes are also used in the unboxing moment for subscription boxes and e-commerce brands that ship directly to their customers, where the box itself becomes part of the photo opportunity for customers to take and share.
Customization Options
- Foil colour: gold, silver, rose gold, or custom Pantone metallic match
- Finish: full foil, spot foil, holographic, metallic laminate.
- Box style: rigid, folding carton, mailer, or drawer style.
- Recyclable material: Kraft or coated paperboard
- Print combination: foil and matte/gloss lamination for contrast
Rather than imposing a template, CBM’s design team collaborates with each brand to find the right combination; a foil finish that is effective on a candle box is not necessarily effective on a shipping mailer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are metalized packaging materials much more expensive than regular printed boxes?
A: Whilst the foil and holographic finishes are an additional cost per unit, wholesale means that the increase isn’t too significant, particularly for brands that order regularly rather than one-off runs.
Q: Are there any small orders available before a large wholesale order?
A: Yes. CBM’s No Minimum policy allows a brand to try out a metalized design at lower volumes before scaling up.
Q: Are there eco-friendly packaging options that are metallic?
A: Foil and holographic finishes are available on recyclable Kraft and eco-friendly base materials, too without sacrificing the shine.
