Material & feel

A sturdy gift box is ideal for packing a wedding gift. This differs enormously in terms of quality from standard packaging, which already appears visually unstable. The walls of the gift box are stable and do not bend to the side, the base has a good load-bearing capacity and can also be loaded with heavy gifts. With thinner packaging it often happens that the bottom bends downwards. As a result, the side parts collapse inwards and the gift loses its shape. A high-quality gift box, on the other hand, remains in its original state and makes a good impression.

Coated or uncoated? The feel

Which feel is the right one must be tailored individually to the bride and groom. Painted surfaces are beautifully smooth and soft and are comfortable to hold. It creates a very glamorous and valuable feeling. An unpainted surface, on the other hand, appears more natural and matt. The structure of the gift box is noticeable.
