    Vlada — boxes

    Vlada's box: sand paper, embossed name, nothing else.

    Boxes for Vlada with rigid 6×6×2 in, sand uncoated wrap and blind emboss.

    Two rules

    1. 01Blind emboss on a wrapped lid. Embossed the sand wrap flat before wrapping, with the die registered to the trimmed lid panel.
    2. 02Sand wrap as the only colour. Left it uncoated and specified tissue and a snug two-piece fit so the lid never rubs the base.

    The brief

    Rigid two-piece box 6×6×2 in wrapped in warm sand uncoated paper; "VLADA" in a light serif blind embossed on the lid, no ink; lid lifted showing a cream interior.

    Questions

    What is the Vlada boxes printed on?
    Rigid 6×6×2 in, Sand uncoated wrap, Blind emboss. Every line of that spec is what actually ran, not a proposal.
    Why blind emboss on a wrapped lid?
    Embossing a wrapped lid after assembly pushes the wrap away from the board and the emboss slackens. Embossed the sand wrap flat before wrapping, with the die registered to the trimmed lid panel.
    Can Print Peppermint print this specification again?
    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.
