|---|---|
| Foam insert specs | Foam / EVA density, thickness, cutout tolerance, flocking option and adhesive method. |

Luxury packaging is not only the box. A paper gift bag, insert, tissue paper, label and carton packing plan can work together to create a more complete buyer experience.
Production details
Handle strength, glue area, bottom board and insert tolerance should be checked before mass production, especially for retail stores and gift campaigns.

- Choose rope handle, ribbon handle, cotton handle or die-cut handle.
- Send actual product sample or 3D file for foam insert cutout.
- Check insert tolerance and surface scratch risk.
