The January brief
Speciality papers, foil, magnets, rigid boxes: special materials have lead times. Briefing late means giving up the choice.

The real problem
The gift box is decided in November.It sells in February.
Print and finishing workshops are overloaded in the weeks before the holidays. The calendar matters as much as the design.
“Ramadan 2027” in big letters
A dated gift box no longer sells the day after Eid. A seasonal pattern without a date can be reused the following year.
The chocolate that moves
With a poorly designed insert, products slide, get damaged or look lost. The prototype is tested with the real products.
The forgotten food gift box
A gift box containing foodstuffs carries the mandatory information and materials designed for food contact.
Food-contact packaging (in French) →What you get
Three formats,depending on the effect and the budget.
From the most prestigious to the fastest: we choose with you the format that suits your occasion.
Rigid box
Laminated board, lid or magnet, custom insert: luxurious, it gets kept. Fragrances, premium dates, corporate gifts.
Folding carton
Printed and finished with care, faster and less expensive than rigid. Pastry, cosmetics, fine foods.
Seasonal sleeve
A limited edition on your usual product, without changing the packing line.
Insert and presentation
Inserts, compartments, tissue paper, greeting card: what’s discovered on opening.
Gifts for customers and teams
Gift boxes in your colours for your customers, partners or staff, with a personalised card.
Manufacturing and assembly
Printing, finishes, converting and assembly followed through to delivery, with photos of the first units.

Frequently asked questions
Before you write to us,straight answers.
When should you start a Ramadan gift box?
Ideally in mid-November for a Ramadan starting in early February: materials at the end of November, design in December, proof at the end of December, production in January, on shelves at the end of January. Any later and the choice of materials shrinks.
Rigid box, carton or sleeve?
The rigid box is the most luxurious, the longest and the most expensive; it’s kept after use. The carton is a good compromise. The sleeve dresses your usual packaging: it’s the fastest and the most economical.
Do you make corporate gift boxes?
Yes: gift boxes in your colours for your customers, partners or teams, with a personalised card and an insert suited to the chosen products.
My gift box contains food: what does that change?
It carries the mandatory information in Arabic, and whatever touches the food must be designed for food contact. We factor this in from the choice of materials.
Should the gift box be dated?
Rarely. A dated box no longer sells after the event; a seasonal pattern without a date can be reused the following year or for Eid.
How much does a gift box cost?
The format, the materials, the finishes, the insert and the quantities make the price. After a first conversation, you receive a detailed quote that separates design from production.
