FAQs

We offer three distinct paper types for your box designs. Each material type is strikingly different from the other and serves a variety of ways to elevate and celebrate your brand's packaging. These materials include:

• Kraft: A traditional brown paper perfect for darker colors.
• Essential White: A matte finish white paper complete with a soft feel.
• Magic White with HD Print: A semi-gloss white paper for an enhanced, eye-catching shine.

We recommend you experience Box Genie's offering first-hand with a pre-designed Sample Kit.

Every packaging project we produce is completely custom in its nature. Your design is enhanced based on your paper type selection. As a rule of thumb, we recommend the following basic guidance:

• Kraft: Ideal for an organic look and feel. Kraft holds dark colors especially well. Even lighter inks will print a few shades darker.
• Essential White: Perfect for a softer look with its matte finish. Essential White is a more cost-efficient approach to quality print and color.
• Magic White with HD Print: Your best choice for print and color richness. Please note that Magic White has a semi-gloss finish.

Box Genie is proud to be a subsidiary company of Vanguard Packaging -- one of North America's most sustainable packaging companies.

Box Genie offers High Definition (HD) print for boxes made of our Magic White paper type. HD print uses small, targeted ink dots. This technique renders crisp, clean imagery along with consistent, precise color.

Our team highly recommends HD print for designs containing photos, swaths of color, and gradients.
