Custom packaging turns a corporate gift into an experience. We print your logo and artwork in full colour on gift boxes and gift bags, so your branded merchandise arrives looking as considered as your brand. It's ideal for client gifts, staff welcome packs, product launches and event giveaways in Nairobi and across East Africa.
Branded gift boxes and gift bags
Our custom gift boxes come in six sizes and two finishes: matte white outside with a natural inside, or matte natural inside and out. Gift bags are printed the same way. Pair them with branded drinkware, notebooks, tech gifts or a full corporate hamper for a finished, ready-to-give package.
- Full-colour print across every visible side of the box, including the inside of the lid.
- Bottle and mug sets arrive assembled with the drinkware inside when you order a set code.
- Standalone boxes are supplied flat-packed and fold together in seconds.
- Design help is available: send your logo and we prepare a print-ready layout for your approval.
How custom packaging is printed
We print directly onto the box or bag with water-based inks that absorb into the material for a soft, matte finish. Printing is in CMYK at up to 1600 × 1600 dpi on gift boxes (maximum print width 120 cm) and 1200 × 1200 dpi on gift bags (maximum print width 28 cm).
Preparing your artwork
- Use the box or bag template we send you, at a minimum of 300 dpi.
- Colours print in CMYK, so exact Pantone matches are not possible. Prints on the natural board look softer than on white.
- White is not printed: white areas in your artwork show the colour of the board.
- Leave a small margin: the front flap's bottom edge, the top edge of the inside lid and the edges of gift bags keep a 1–3 mm unprinted border.
- Thick designs that run across fold lines may not flow perfectly over the fold.
Frequently asked questions
What colours are the custom gift boxes?
Two options: matte white outside with a matte natural inside, or matte natural inside and out. Both come in six sizes.
Will my colours match my brand guide exactly?
Not exactly. The boxes print in CMYK on matte board, so colours look slightly softer than on screen, and a little brighter on white than on natural board. We cannot match colours exactly across different products and branding methods.
Can you print white ink?
No. White areas in your design are left unprinted and show the board colour, and the natural inside of the box cannot show white at all.
Do the boxes arrive assembled?
Gift sets ordered with a bottle or mug arrive assembled with the item inside. Boxes ordered on their own are flat-packed, and items ordered separately are delivered separately for you to pack.
Is the print matte or glossy, and is it waterproof?
The print is matte, like the board. Boxes and bags are uncoated and not waterproof, so keep them dry: water smudges the print.
Which parts of the box can be branded?
Everything you see once the box is assembled, plus the inside of the lid. The base and the tuck-in flaps are not printed.
Will every box look identical?
Very close. Small differences in board size can shift the print slightly, and any marks on the board before printing will show through, especially under solid colour. Occasional fine hairlines from the print heads are not considered a defect.
