For a packaging material with a natural feel, black kraft paper is a good option.

Combining style and practicality in one, the choices are endless.

Best for: Cakes, doughnuts, chocolates, snacks, popcorn and frozen foods.

Want something more durable? This material has a thicker construction.

Ideal if your food orders are bulkier and heavier to carry.

The multi-layer system provides more rigidity and strength.

This also prevents your cartons from sagging during transit.

Suitable for: Takeaway pizza & burger cartons, catering orders and larger food delivery cartons.

Rigid board will give your product a luxurious look and feel.

This is definitely a high-end material choice.

This will enhance the customer experience when opening your packaging.

In a rush for packaging? Digital printing is a quick and easy process.

It offers visually stunning, bright inks on deep, dark backgrounds. No need to worry about changeability!

Great for: Small runs, seasonal stocks

This really makes an impact on black cartons. 

Great for: Mass production, supermarket items and retail food brands.

Screen Printing

Sometimes, less really is more!

Give Your Black Packaged Food the Perfect Finish 

The finishing coating can add a classy touch to your black packaged food.

Select the finishing that best suits your product and brand.

Gloss Coating

Would you like your black boxes to attract eyes immediately?

If yes, gloss coating would be your best choice for your packaging.

The gloss coating adds a smooth and shiny surface to the black boxes.

This makes the packages fresher and more appealing.

Matte Coating

A matte coating produces a smooth, sophisticated matte sheen for a high-quality impression without gloss.

Black packaging boxes with a matte finish have a sleek, contemporary elegance.

It is widely used for high-end foods to give a simple, stylish look.

Soft-Touch Coating

Soft-touch coating is just as luxurious as it sounds.

The feeling is soft and smooth, and customers feel its quality when handling the box.

Best customer service and LOVE the end result

Paul was amazing from start to finish. First of all, he quoted me a competitive price on my custom reed diffuser packaging. He gave me the best price in the market. He was helpful in answering my gazillion questions (very quickly) and he was very patient with me when it came to my design requests. In all honesty, I thought he would give up on me at some point but he didn't :-). Then he showed me my mockups, communicated when they were in printing and off for shipping. He's very transparent, super nice and helpful person. I will keep him as my permanent contact for customized packaging designs when I need restocking. Definitely order from him. Paul You're a Legend!
