What Is a Metallic Box?
A metallic box uses either metallised board (paperboard laminated with a thin metallic film) or foil stamping applied to standard folding carton or rigid board, giving all or part of the box a reflective, premium finish. It is one of the more eye-catching ways to lift a design without changing the underlying box structure.
Metallised Board vs Foil Stamping
Metallised board covers the whole surface in a metallic finish, useful for a bold, all-over premium look. Foil stamping applies metallic detail only to specific areas, such as a logo or pattern, which is more cost-effective while still adding a premium touch exactly where it matters most.
Where Metallic Finishes Are Used
This finish is popular for cosmetics, fragrance, spirits packaging, and limited or seasonal gift ranges, where a premium first impression matters. It can be applied to folding cartons, rigid boxes, or as an accent on simpler box styles.
Materials
Metallised board and foil stamping both work over folding carton or rigid board bases. We will recommend full metallised board or targeted foil stamping based on your budget and how much of the design needs the metallic effect.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom metallic-finish boxes are available from around 50 to 100 units for foil-stamped designs, with fully metallised board runs sometimes needing a slightly higher minimum depending on the finish chosen.
Average Prices
As a general guide, boxes with foil-stamped metallic accents typically cost between £0.60 and £1.80 per unit, while fully metallised board options can run higher, from around £1.00 to £2.50 per unit, depending on size and coverage.
Sustainability
Metallised film laminates are harder to recycle than plain board, so for brands prioritising recyclability, foil stamping on standard recyclable board, or metallic-effect inks, are often a better-balanced choice than fully metallised board.
