    A band that folds into a gift sleeve

    The Ritz-Carlton Waikiki's Lunar New Year dried-fruit gift needed a wrap that assembled in-house. The band folds to a sleeve with side panels, foil on the front, blank where the spec said blank.

    Belly-bands-sleeves for The Ritz-Carlton, Waikiki Beach with gold foil stamping, 130lb vermilion uncoated, blind emboss and 4×17 in flat, glued band.

    Two rules

    1. 01A band that folds to a sleeve. Ran the folds with the grain, scored before folding, and put the single 0.5 inch glue tab on the back panel where it never shows.
    2. 02Foil on the face only. Kept the gold on the front face inside the fold lines and blind embossed the wave on the side panel instead.

    The brief

    Lunar New Year dried-fruit packaging: a 5×6.125 in folded belly band with 2.125 in side panels and a 0.5 in glue tab, 4×17 in flat, wrapping a cream box; 130lb vermilion red uncoated cover; gold hot foil lion crest and "THE RITZ-CARLTON" serif caps on the front panel; blind-embossed wave pattern on the side panels; top and bottom left blank as specified.

    Questions

    What is the The Ritz-Carlton, Waikiki Beach labels printed on?
    130lb vermilion uncoated, Gold hot foil, Blind emboss, 4×17 in flat, glued band. Every line of that spec is what actually ran, not a proposal.
    Why a band that folds to a sleeve?
    Four folds and a glue tab on 130lb uncoated crack at the score if the grain runs the wrong way. Ran the folds with the grain, scored before folding, and put the single 0.5 inch glue tab on the back panel where it never shows.

    Yes. The materials on this page are live registry items, and the Studio link opens with the same paper, foil and finish locked in for your own artwork.
