A European chocolate brand wanted a limited-edition Christmas gift box — its first rigid-box order placed in China. Three concerns topped the list: chocolate is fragile, moisture-sensitive and heat-sensitive, so the box had to protect first and impress second; the Christmas launch date was non-negotiable; and a previous supplier had shifted their brand gold off-color, so color accuracy was a sore point.

Our solution: a rigid lid-and-base construction on thick greyboard for crush resistance, with a custom-molded insert locking each chocolate in place; a champagne-gold base laid down by cold foil across the lid, then the brand logo hot-stamped and embossed in one pass for dimension and exact color. Printed on our Heidelberg 9+2 and color-matched to the brand's swatch, mass production stayed within the agreed tolerance of the approved sample.

Physical sample in 5 days, approval, then mass production — shipped on schedule for the Christmas launch, and the partnership continued into subsequent projects.
