CATEGORY OVERVIEW

What to Consider Before Choosing Sleeve Packaging

Custom sleeve packaging adds branding and presentation to boxes, trays, food packs and retail products. Specify the dimensions, board, printing and finishes required for your application.

Packaging should be selected around the product, handling conditions, storage requirements and production method-not simply around appearance.

Packaging decisions begin with the product-not the box.
01
Product Requirements

What product will be packed?

Understand the product and its performance requirements.

  • Product weight
  • Shelf display
  • Handling method
  • Presentation goal
02
Handling & Distribution

How will the packaging be used?

Consider the full journey from packing to the customer.

  • Warehouse handling
  • Retail display
  • Ecommerce delivery
  • Storage and stacking
  • Customer unboxing
03
Quotation Preparation

What information speeds up quoting?

Accurate details help us provide the right solution first time.

  • Dimensions
  • Quantity
  • Artwork
  • Delivery date
  • Special requirements
Materials & Board Options

Materials Selected for Strength, Print Quality and Food Use

Material choice depends on the packed product, serving temperature, storage conditions, required rigidity, printing method and whether the food will make direct contact with the pack.

Material Library

Compare Surface, Structure and Print Potential

Custom specifications available
Corrugated Board Structural
Kraft Board Natural
White Paperboard Print Ready
Barrier-Treated Board Specialist
The visible surface is only part of the specification.

Board thickness, fibre composition, coating and flute profile influence how the finished packaging folds, prints, stacks and performs during use.

White Paperboard

Detailed colour reproduction

A smooth white surface supports sharp graphics, fine text and consistent branded colour across food cartons, sleeves, trays and presentation packs.

Well suited to
Retail food cartons, takeaway boxes and branded sleeves
Print performance
Strong colour contrast and detailed artwork

Kraft Board

Natural appearance and folding strength

Kraft board provides a warm, unbleached appearance while offering reliable stiffness for many food-to-go, café, takeaway and retail packaging formats.

Well suited to
Natural-looking packaging, carriers, trays and folding cartons
Print performance
Best with artwork planned around the brown base

Corrugated Board

Added rigidity and transport protection

Corrugated constructions provide greater resistance to compression and handling, making them suitable for heavier portions, larger packs and delivery applications.

Well suited to
Pizza boxes, catering packs, delivery cartons and larger food formats
Structural options
Flute profile selected around weight and size

Barrier-Treated Board

For grease or moisture exposure

A suitable barrier treatment can help reduce oil, moisture or condensation penetration where untreated board would soften, stain or lose structural stability.

Well suited to
Oily food, moist products and selected chilled uses
Specification note
Treatment depends on food contact and end use
Review our wider packaging material range

Explore board grades, structural characteristics and material options for different packaging uses.

Responsible fibre choices can be considered without ignoring performance.

Recycled-content and responsibly sourced board options can be discussed where strength, print quality, coating requirements and food-contact conditions allow.

Explore Our Sustainability Approach
Material specification

Board thickness, coating and fibre content are confirmed after reviewing the filled product, storage method, packing process and intended contact conditions.

Printing & Finishing

Printing and Finishing Options for Custom Packaging

Printing and finishing influence how packaging looks, feels and performs. The right combination supports colour consistency, brand presentation, surface durability and the intended customer experience.

Available options Select the Right Print and Finishing Combination
CMYK printed custom packaging with detailed full-colour graphics Full-colour print

CMYK Printing

Detailed artwork, illustrations and photography

CMYK printing is suitable for packaging that includes photographs, gradients, illustrations and detailed graphics. It supports broad colour reproduction across retail, eCommerce and branded packaging applications.

Best suited to Full-colour graphics, illustrations and photography
Consider Colour can vary slightly between material surfaces
Explore printing methods
Pantone colour swatches beside branded packaging Brand colour control

Pantone Colour Matching

Greater control over important brand shades

Pantone references can improve consistency where a particular logo colour or brand shade must be reproduced across different pack sizes, product ranges and repeat orders.

Best suited to Established brand palettes and signature colours
Consider Substrate colour influences the final appearance
Compare print methods
Matt and gloss laminated custom packaging surfaces Surface protection

Matt or Gloss Lamination

Different surface character and print protection

Matt lamination creates a softer, understated appearance. Gloss lamination increases shine, colour contrast and visual intensity while adding a protective surface layer.

Best suited to Retail, presentation and premium branded packaging
Consider Finish choice can affect recyclability and feel
View finishes and add-ons
Spot UV detail applied to a printed packaging logo Selective gloss

Spot UV

Selective shine on logos, patterns or wording

Spot UV applies gloss to selected areas rather than the entire packaging surface. It creates contrast when used against a matt laminate or restrained printed background.

Best suited to Logos, patterns and important focal details
Consider Artwork requires a separate finishing layer
Explore specialist finishes
Metallic foil and embossed detail on premium packaging Metallic and tactile

Foiling and Embossing

Metallic highlights and tactile surface depth

Foil stamping can highlight selected wording, borders or logos. Embossing and debossing create raised or recessed details that add visual depth and a tactile finish.

Best suited to Premium ranges and controlled design emphasis
Consider Fine details may require artwork adjustment
See premium finish options
Printed custom packaging with a product viewing window Product visibility

Window Cut-Outs

Product visibility within the packaging structure

Window cut-outs allow customers to view the product without opening the packaging. Their size and position should be balanced with structural strength, product protection and overall presentation.

Best suited to Retail packaging and visible product display
Consider Structural integrity and window placement
Review structural add-ons
Prepare artwork and structural files correctly before production.

Bleed, colour references, artwork layers, barcode placement, dielines and finishing files should all be reviewed before artwork is approved for production.

Artwork Guidelines Dieline Guidelines
Production consideration

Printing methods and finishing options are selected according to the artwork, packaging material, order quantity, intended use and production requirements.

Discuss Your Print Specification

Sustainable Packaging Options

Sustainable packaging depends on the product, board grade, coating, food-contact requirements and finishing method. We help you choose practical options that reduce waste without weakening protection or presentation.

Recycled-content board where specification allows
Right-sizing to reduce unused board
Mono-material options where feasible
Coating choice can affect recyclability
Food-contact rules can limit material options
Barrier needs balanced with responsible finishes
