Luxury
Foil Stamping
Metallic foil pressed into the board for instant shelf impact. Great for logos, borders, and badges on gift, cosmetic, and rigid boxes.
Raised
Embossing

We’ve used them for everything from skincare and jewellery to socks and seasonal bits.
At Healey Packaging, we help UK brands create pillow packaging that ticks every box: easy to assemble, strong enough to protect, and elegant enough to stand out.
