Digital enhancement that adds raised UV, textures, and metallic-style effects to selected areas, creating a premium, touchable finish.

Standard
CMYK Process Inks
Ideal for photography, gradients, and detailed artwork. Most packaging projects start here before adding special colors or finishes.
Branding
Pantone Spot Inks
Used when color accuracy is critical. Pantone inks lock in signature brand colors across different print runs and materials.

Screen printing lays down a thicker layer of ink, creating vibrant solid colors and strong opacity. Best for bold logos, solid shapes, and designs that must pop even on darker materials.
Eco

Creates a velvety, rubberised feel that makes customers want to hold the box longer. Ideal for high-end unboxing experiences.
Highlight
Spot Gloss UV
High-gloss UV applied only to selected areas like logos or patterns, so they catch the light without making the whole box shiny.
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
Embossing lifts selected artwork from the surface, giving logos, patterns, and brand marks a premium 3D raised effect that customers can feel instantly.
Depth
Debossing
Debossing presses artwork into the board, forming an elegant recessed impression. Works beautifully for minimalist luxury packaging and fine-detail branding.
Windows
Die-Cut Windows
Custom window shapes let customers see the product before they buy. Can be left open or backed with clear PET where needed.
- Description
Retail Packaging Boxes Designed for Real-World Selling
Retail packaging has to do more than look good — it needs to protect your products, meet retailer requirements, and make an instant connection with shoppers. At Healey Packaging, we’ve spent over a decade helping UK brands turn their custom retail boxes into silent salespeople, working as hard on the shelf as your team does behind the scenes. Whether you need short-run custom printed retail boxes for a launch or large-scale production for a nationwide rollout, we build every order to match your product and market.
Tailored to Retail Environments and Brand Identity
From security tag flaps that don’t crumple to stackable designs that survive 3am stockroom chaos, we engineer custom retail packaging boxes that works where it matters. Boutique or big-box, your boxes will:
✔ Pass strict retailer checks
✔ Showcase branding at eye-level
✔ Survive backroom to checkout
No more last-minute packaging panic.
Shelf-Ready Packaging That Plays by the Rules
We’ve navigated every high street retailer’s rulebook—so your boxes will pass compliance checks and catch customer eyes. Whether it’s a rigid gift box for luxury counters or a clever tuck-end carton for busy aisles, we engineer packaging that protects while it seduces.
Printing and Finishing Options That Stand Out
In-store competition is fierce. We use high-quality retail box printing techniques to make your packaging pop, whether you prefer subtle branding or bold, full-colour graphics. Popular options include:
- CMYK or Pantone printing for precise colour matching
- Matte or gloss lamination for surface protection
- Foil stamping to add a premium touch
- Spot UV to draw the eye to logos or key details
- Embossing or debossing for tactile appeal
Sustainable Materials for Modern Retail
Your planet-friendly customers will appreciate our FSC® kraft boxes – they’re tougher than they look, surviving delivery knocks just like regular packaging. Choose from recyclable boards, biodegradable coatings, or unbleached materials that make your products look naturally stylish on shelves. No greenwashing, just proper protection.
Flexible Ordering for Any Business Size
From small-batch runs for boutique brands to high-volume manufacturing for national chains, our production can scale without compromising quality. As experienced retail box suppliers, we’re set up for orders from as low as 100 units to 100,000+. That means you can order exactly what you need without unnecessary overspend.
More Than Just a Box — A Sales Tool
A well-designed retail box influences how long a shopper lingers, whether they pick up your product, and how they feel about it once it’s in their hands. Strategic use of windows, inserts, and internal printing can turn a quick glance into a purchase decision — and help build brand loyalty beyond the first sale.
Minimising Returns and Protecting Products
We factor in every stage from packing to point of sale, ensuring your products are secure during transit, storage, and handling. The result? Fewer damaged returns, less waste, and a more consistent customer experience across all sales channels.
