Box Design Upgrades
Create the unforgettable unboxing experience
Luxurious and convenient fabric elements
Upgrading a basic box with a ribbon helps in two ways. The ribbon decorates the box on the outside or on the inside. It also is a structural element that enhances the box’s functionality.
Ribbon Lift
This element consists of a single ribbon, permanently glued to the box bottom. It helps to take out the box contents without effort.
The length of the ribbon piece varies according to the box size and to the client’s requirements. The ribbon width that we recommend is 10 mm.
The commonly used ribbon types are satin and grosgrain. Those two types allow for hot processing of the loose ends to avoid fraying.
Applicable for: Book Style Box, Economy Cover Box, 4&5 Panels Cover Box, Lid & Base Box, Neck Box.
Ribbon Stop
This box component is called a ribbon stop for its function to limit the movement of a hinged lid. It is permanently glued in two places, one on the box tray and one on the lid. We use wisely additional paper elements to hide the two glued ribbon ends.
The length of the ribbon piece varies according to the box size and to the client’s requirements. The ribbon width that we recommend is 5 or 10 mm.
The commonly used ribbon types are satin and grosgrain. Those two types allow for hot processing of the loose ends to avoid fraying.
Applicable for: Rigid Tray Book Style Box, Economy Cover Box, 4&5 Panels Cover Box.
Ribbon Pull
The ribbon pull is a useful embellishment of the hard cover boxes. It makes it possible to open the hinged lid without effort. The doubled ribbon piece glued end is inserted under the binding material of the hard cover’s inner side.
The length of the ribbon piece varies according to the client’s requirements. The ribbon width that we recommend is 10 or 20 mm.
All ribbon types are suitable for this element.

Sustainable inventions inside the box
The tray inserts are undeniably the most powerful instrument for making the box special. They will fit your luxury product or promotional materials to the best extent. All inserts are made to order, in custom shapes and sizes. The one thing they have in common is their sustainable origin. No plastic elements are included in the inserts offered by nPack.
Interior Tray
This exclusive concept by nPack consists of two parts. One part is the smaller tray which is positioned centrally inside the box The other part is a supporting level element around the small tray that fixes its position. Optionally, the two parts can be glued to each other and to the outer tray.
The small tray is made from solidboard, 1 to 2 mm thick and covered with a thin binding material. The levelling part is made from thick paperboard. The two parts may differ in colour and texture.
Adding a ribbon lift is an option for ease of use and extra decoration.
Applicable for: Rigid Tray Book Style Box, Economy Cover Box, 4&5 Panels Cover Box, Lid & Base Box, Neck Box.
Interior Lid
Another design solution by nPack is the Interior lid, whose basic purpose is the so-called wow effect. What’s more, its presence adds one more surface for a brand message. Apart from the lift-off lid, this solution includes support elements fixed to the inside of the box.
All elements use 1 to 2 mm solidboard as core material. They are wrapped in a thin binding material which allows for colour combinations.

Sliding designs with a unique look
Sleeves are outer paper bands that cover the box on 4 sides. While the Full Sleeve covers the entire length of the box, the Banderole and the Lift-off Band provide only partial coverage. The design and scoring of the sleeves allow them to fit the box as tightly as the customer requires.
Full Sleeve
The full sleeve is an additional wrap of the entire box which leaves only the two smallest box sides visible. By covering most of the surface of the box, it becomes a great printing area which needs a much smaller printed media compared to the whole box.
The full sleeve is usually a printable material, up to 300 gsm in thickness.
The full sleeve colour and texture may differ from the box outside to create a contrasting effect.
Applicable for: Book Style Box, Economy Cover Box, 4&5 Panels Cover Box, Lid & Base Box, Neck Box.
Banderole
Similar to the full sleeve, the banderole is a partial wrap of the box. It is only a stripe of paper which allows for the most part of the box to remain visible. It is a great idea for a printing surface which needs a small printed media compared to the whole box.
The banderole is an element that can use paper offcuts from printable media up to 300 gsm in thickness.
The banderole colour and texture may differ from the box outside to create a contrasting effect.
Applicable for: Book Style Box, Economy Cover Box, 4&5 Panels Cover Box, Lid & Base Box, Neck Box.
Lift-Off Band
The lift-off band is a clever invention of nPack’s team. It is applied to a set of boxes, where one box goes inside the other to save transport and storage costs. Typically, this band has a tear-off strip which turns it easily into a handle to take out one box outside of the other.
