Gold Foil Boxes

Gold Foil Boxes are custom-printed folding cartons finished with metallic gold foil stamping, made for beauty, gourmet, and gift brands that want a premium look on the shelf. Each box is printed on SBS or kraft paperboard and stamped to your logo.

Gold foil catches light and signals a high-end product the moment a shopper sees it, while a soft-touch laminated surface gives the box a velvet feel in hand. The reverse-tuck carton keeps packing simple, and foil paired with emboss makes a logo stand off the surface. Chocolatiers and candle brands use these for holiday and gift-set runs.

Foil Stamped Box Runs

Hot foil stamping presses a metallic film onto board using a heated magnesium or copper die, which is why the finish reflects light instead of sitting flat like metallic ink. There are no setup, plate or die fees, so reorders cost the same per unit as the first run.
