Materials
Pillow boxes come in varying thicknesses (300-400gsm) depending on their size.
| White | High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper. |
|---|---|
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, best suited to black or white printing. |
Printing
Choose the color system that suits your artwork and brand.
| CMYK | CMYK stands as the most common and budget-friendly color scheme in printing. |
|---|---|
| Pantone | Prints brand colors accurately and is a step up from CMYK. |
Coating
To keep your printed designs safe, a special coating is added that prevents scratches and scuffs.
| Varnish | A water-based coating that protects less than lamination. |
|---|---|
| Lamination | A plastic coated layer that offers protection against cracks and tears. |
Finishes
Choose a finish to change how the surface looks and feels.
| Matte | Featuring a smooth and non-reflective surface, this design provides an overall softer look. |
|---|---|
| Glossy | Glossy and reflective, this surface tends to highlight fingerprints more. |
| Satin | Semi-glossy, striking a balance between a matte and glossy appearance. |
| Soft touch | Looks like a matte finish but feels soft and velvety to the touch. |
