There’s something about gold foil that instantly changes how a product feels. It adds that “this is special” moment before the box is even opened. That’s why so many boutique brands, gifting companies, and luxury retailers come to us for custom gold foil boxes. We build them to size, use premium foil stamping, and make sure the shine enhances the brand rather than overpowering it.

A gold foil finish is stunning, but the structure underneath still needs to do the real work. Whether you’re packaging a candle jar, jewellery gift set, skincare kit, or a seasonal product drop, the board strength, the crease lines, and the internal fit determine the unboxing experience.
At Healey Packaging, we start with the product’s weight and shape. Only after the structure is sorted do we apply the gold foil layer. That approach prevents cracking on folds and keeps the foil smooth — especially important for boxes that will be handled repeatedly in retail.
If you’ve seen poor foil work, you’ll know it can cheapen the look quickly. We avoid that by using hot-foil stamping and pressure-balanced dies, not surface prints pretending to be metal.
Some brands want fully gold foil gift boxes with a bold metallic shell. Others prefer a black box with a gold foil logo, keeping the shine focused on the brand mark. Both work — the choice depends on your customer’s expectations.
Best for high-end gifting, jewellery, fragrance, and PR mailers. Rigid board keeps the foil looking flawless, and the box holds its shape long-term.
Ideal for beauty, wellness, and artisan products. Lightweight, cost-effective, and suitable for wholesale gold foil boxes or subscription runs.
Gold foil pillow boxes, drawer boxes, and flower boxes remain popular for boutique gifting, events, and holiday sets. If you need a custom die-line, we create that in-house.
Gold foil reacts differently to artwork than standard inks. Fine text, thin logos, or large saturated blocks need balancing to make sure the stamping looks clean.
We guide you through:
Digital or offset printing can be added underneath the foil to create layered effects. All foils we use follow EU and UK compliance standards, including options for recyclable gold foil finishes where sustainability matters.
Different products need different levels of strength. We build gold foil packaging using:
If your brand sells multiple sizes, we create a coordinated set so everything looks consistent on the shelf or online store.
Gold foil isn’t just for luxury brands. We see it used across:
Foil elevates regular packaging into something memorable — which is crucial when competing online, where visuals drive most purchase decisions.
We’ve produced thousands of gold foil printed boxes for UK businesses over the past decade. Because we handle print prep, foiling, production, and QC ourselves, turnaround stays predictable and quality stays consistent.
Our boxes are built to protect products, reduce returns, and improve the customer’s first impression — all while keeping the gold foil detailing sharp.
