Overview
Gulf markets reward a strong unboxing moment: dense board, metallic detailing and a closure that feels deliberate. We build those effects into the structure and the finishing plan, then pack for the heat the shipment will meet in transit.
Ask for the supporting document pack if your compliance team needs to review it.
Luxury Finishing
Gold and rose-gold foil, registered embossing, soft-touch lamination and edge gilding are common on regional perfume, dates and confectionery programmes. We show a substrate proof because metallic and dark stocks change colour behaviour.

If your brief differs, tell us the constraint and we will propose the closest workable build.
Climate and Transit
Adhesives, laminates and cartons are selected with high ambient temperatures and long sea routes in mind. Moisture barrier bags and reinforced corners protect the finish on arrival.
