Short answer
To customize a gift box with your logo, choose a technique suited to the material, provide a vector file, define the position and size, then approve a proof before production.
Techniques by material
On wood, MDF and plywood
Engraving is the reference technique on wood: the logo is marked into the material, tone on tone, for a durable result. On MDF the result is very crisp; on solid wood it takes on the character of the grain; on plywood deep engraving can reveal the layers.
On leather and faux leather
Debossing gives a discreet, luxurious result, much appreciated for prestige boxes. See leather gift box.
On rigid cardboard and coverings
Printing, foil stamping or embossing, depending on the covering chosen. These techniques allow colour. See rigid box.
Choosing the right position
- Centre of the lid: maximum visibility, promotional style.
- Corner of the lid or edge: discreet signature, premium style.
- Inside the lid: revealed on opening, an elegant effect.
- Card or plate: flexible, useful for name personalization.
Files to provide
- Vector logo (AI, EPS, vector PDF, SVG).
- Single-colour version for engraving.
- Colour references for colour marking.
- Desired size and position.
Mistakes to avoid
- A logo that is too large: it turns a gift into a promotional item.
- Details that are too fine: very thin lines and small text may not come out well, depending on the technique.
- A low-resolution file: blurred outlines, disappointing result.
- Approving without a proof: no production should start without visual approval.
- Forgetting contrast: a logo engraved on very dark wood may be hard to read.
Going beyond the logo
An engraved message, the date of an event, the recipient's name or a pattern inspired by your visual identity give the box more meaning. Discover our full customization options.
