2. Gloss Laminate.

Gloss Laminate is one of the most kind of finishing in demand among entrepreneurs. Your box will look shiny  and shine under the  light rays. Also, your box packaging will look like a mirror that can reflect the surrounding objects. Plus, the effect of using gloss laminate will enhance the  visibility and appear more attractive when compared to the other products that use normal finishing on their products.

3. Matte Laminate

If you like something soothing and natural, matte laminate can give more natural look to your box packaging. Unlike gloss laminate, matte laminate looks softer and creates a contrast / difference on the darker surface of the box packaging. Finishing of matte lamination can inspire elegance causing many to choose it.

4. Hot Stamping

Box Expert- provides hot stamping in silver and gold. Hot stamping process involves the process of patching foil (gold, silver etc) on the box by applying high temperature. You can see the examples of famous local cosmetics companies such as MERV Cosmetic and others, just look at the packaging they use such as hot stamping (Gold) which gives a golden shine effect on each box / packaging of their products.

Packaging that applies hot stamping also appears to have a better value or a more expensive value comparable to the quality of the products

5. Emboss

Embossing is a process to form a raised surface (Text, Logo, or Image) compared to the surrounding surface. The embossed part is called 3D or 3-dimensional design which can be seen from 3 angles (top, front and side).

6. Spot UV

The result of Spot UV finishing is a waxy layer that makes your box look pop. Spot UV is different from Embossing because there is a wax-like substance that is used to make selected surfaces on your box raised. The Spot UV process is often used on words or logos to make your product look different and more exclusive.

7. Plastic Window

There are also founders/ entrepreneur who want their products to be visible from the outside. So by using a plastic window you will be able to see your product from outside and your product will still be protected inside form any dust or damage. Examples of founders who use this finishing are those who sell eyelashes, curls and cosmetic products.
