Embossed letter effect

Raised relief · tactile · 3D brand mark

Embossed letters create a three-dimensional raised relief of the brand name, product text, or logo on the box surface. The raised geometry of the emboss creates depth and shadow under any lighting - the box communicates premium manufacturing quality at first touch without any additional ink or colour. When combined with the oil blue metallic surface, the embossed letters catch light differently from the surrounding flat surface, creating a shifting metallic shimmer across the text.

✓ 3D raised surface - tangible depth at first touch

✓ Light-catching effect - changes appearance at angles

✓ Amplifies metallic surface shimmer on raised areas

✓ Min. emboss feature width: 1.5 mm

Metallic stamp finish

Hot-stamp · foil · anti-counterfeit

The metal stamp (hot-stamp foil) is applied to specific areas of the box - typically the brand logo, border lines, and decorative elements - creating a bright metallic layer that physically cannot be reproduced by inkjet printing or colour photocopying. For high-value injectable peptides and performance pharmaceuticals, the metallic stamp is both a premium brand signal and a physical anti-counterfeiting measure.

✓ Hot-stamp applied under heat and pressure

✓ Cannot be reproduced by colour printing or photocopying

✓ Silver / gold / coloured foil options

✓ Anti-counterfeiting signal for high-value injectables

Oil blue metallic colour

Petroleum depth · metallic shimmer

Oil blue is a deep, saturated blue-black colour - named for the depth of colour found in high-grade lubricating oil. On the box surface, the oil blue is achieved through a combination of dark blue CMYK base printing and a metallic overcoat that gives the surface a subtle directional shimmer - the colour appears to shift slightly from deep navy to teal-black as the box is rotated under light. This surface effect is distinctive in a category where most competitors use standard blue or black.

✓ Deep petroleum blue - distinctive in category

✓ Metallic overcoat gives directional shimmer

✓ Colour shifts navy to teal-black under rotation

CMYK 4-colour printing

Full colour · custom · precise

Full 4-colour CMYK offset printing for the complete box design - including the oil blue base colour, product information text, decorative graphic elements, and barcode. CMYK printing provides the base layer on which the metallic stamp and emboss effects are then applied. Custom design and artwork created to your specification, with a confirmed colour proof before production.

✓ Full 4-colour process - any design possible

✓ Base layer for metal stamp + emboss effects

✓ Colour proof confirmed before production

Folded box construction

Flat-packed · self-erect · efficient

The folded box (also called a carton or paperboard box) is supplied flat-packed and self-erects when opening - the most production-efficient format for small-volume individual vial boxes. Folded box construction allows the premium surface printing, embossing, and stamping to be applied flat on the sheet before folding, giving better quality control and sharper emboss definition than alternative box types.

✓ Flat-packed - efficient storage and shipping

✓ Self-erects for quick assembly

✓ Emboss applied flat - sharper definition
