Grey-board cores, wrap sheets, foil, and UV
1.5–3 mm grey board carries the wrap. Foil and UV sit on the printed sheet according to the finish map — not as a JPEG filter.
Core first
Most folding and lid-and-base gift boxes in the catalog use 1.5–3 mm grey-board cores. MDF is a separate line at 1.5–7 mm. Do not mix the two on one RFQ without saying so.
Wrap and print
Wrap can be printed coated paper, specialty paper, holographic film, kraft, or flocked paper. In-house Heidelberg offset prints carton and wrap sheets; Kodak CTP plates the job.
Finish is a map
Foil, spot UV, and lamination are plates and passes. Write where they sit. “Make it luxury” is not a map.
Catalog ranges only. Confirm on sample, board lot, and destination spec. Certificate numbers are not invented here — request current scans on the RFQ.
