Browse some of the finishes that best complements your brand’s message and uniqueness. If you need a little help, feel free to contact us.
Lamination
Matt Lamination: Softens your images and smooth to the touch.
Gloss Lamination: Print colours are enhanced with an ultra-shiny finish.
Velvet/ Soft Touch Lamination: Print colours appear richer and it feels like peach skin.
Linen Lamination: Adds shine and a linear (linen-style) texture to your prints.
Digital Foiling
Clear Ink
Gold, Silver and Metallic Inks
White Ink
Duplex and Triplex
Duplexing is one of our favourite finishing processes as it involves creating your own unique material by bonding two or multi bonding papers together to form a single board as thick as 10mm. Therefore, this creates a more thick and rigid final material.
Die Cut
Die-cutting is the process of precision cutting custom shapes of paper to create more impact for your printed material. No need for stencils, we utilise precise kiss cut technologies to get consistent cut for one or thousands of prints.
Round Corner
Get curvy with your corners for extra pizzazz. Rounded corners add the perfect finish to business stationery, invitations, change of address cards, appointment cards and more!
Creasing and Scoring
Creasing and scoring is a major part of the finishing process for most print products. Our production and finishing team has over 65 years of combined experience, so we know how to do it proper. We utilise the latest technology that ensures a fast and efficient turnaround.

Custom Packaging FAQs
What is the minimum order for Custom Packaging?
One! Yes, you have read that correctly. We will always produce exactly what you need. However, we will advise that the cost per unit does decrease significantly the more items you produce. Request an estimate today to learn more about our Custom Packaging pricing.
What size package can you produce?
We specialise in the smaller packaging sizes for small gifts, food and retail items. The maximum sheet size we can print your custom design on 330mm x up to 1000mm. To confirm, tell us your required box size or send us your box (die-cut) and we will check your file (at no extra charge).
How do I make my Custom Packaging print-ready?
Print-ready files should be submitted in PDF format, 300dpi with crop marks and a 5mm bleed. We recommend all text and layout to be at least 10mm from the edge of the artwork. We will always check your file and produce a sample before the full run for your peace of mind.
How can I check the colours of my file will print correctly?
Files for digital printing should be supplied in CMYK colour format. Files supplied in RGB and Pantones may have different results from that seen on screen. For custom packaging, we will always produce a sample print before the full run for your peace of mind.
How can I set up my file for speciality ink finishes?
Layers of your artwork that require speciality inks should be vectorised and changed to magenta. Here’s a full guide for more creative metallic ink finishes.
How can I choose the best paper for my Custom Packaging?
We typically print on a white cardboard specially designed for high-quality graphical print output on both sides of the packaging. The composition of multiple layers of primary fibres within the cardboard allows superior strength, flexibility and toughness.
However, if you’re looking for a coloured card or for recyclable options, here is our general guide:
White/ Lightly Coloured Smooth Papers: Best for designs with a solid colour or image background. Works best with additional matt or gloss lamination finishes or white, clear or speciality inks such as white, clear or metallic inks.
Deep Coloured Smooth Papers: Works well for designs with plain backgrounds and speciality inks such as white, clear or metallic inks.
All Textured Papers: Works well for designs with plain backgrounds and speciality inks such as white, clear or metallic inks.
