Easter is a festival to commemorate Jesus Christ. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox every year. It symbolizes rebirth and hope. Western Christian countries will celebrate this festival. For religious people, this day is a strict day of penance and fasting. Non-religious people feel a cheerful festive atmosphere on this day. For this special holiday, we will also send Easter gift boxes to those close to us. They will also participate in some gatherings. However, due to the impact of the epidemic this year, most countries do not allow gatherings to hold group activities, so more people choose to use this time to pray at home than in previous years.
WHAT DO YOU USUALLY PUT IN AN EASTER GIFT BOX?
Traditional pre-made Easter gift boxes contain iconic nostalgic Easter treats like chocolate bunnies, cookies, fruit, popcorn, and candies like Peeps and Jelly Beans. For the kids, you’ll find Easter egg-themed gift boxes featuring cute stuffed bunnies and silly games. For adults, you’ll find handmade pears and truffles, and if they don’t have a sweet tooth, you can also send them a delicious deli and cheese board, coffee, wine, flowers, and a full brunch spread. For Easter gift boxes, eggs and bunny dolls are the most popular. Eggs are the symbol of Easter, heralding the arrival of new life. It is believed that new life will be born out of it, and Easter eggs also come from this. In some places, the custom of rolling ‘Easter Eggs’ is still preserved. It is believed that rolling the eggs back and forth on the ground can make the devil continue to tremble and suffer. You may have also discovered that the image of rabbits will appear in the Easter limited series of many brands, but don’t confuse it with the limited series of some brands for the Year of the Rabbit in China. In fact, the bunny is also one of the representatives of Easter, and has a special name – The Easter Bunny, because it has a strong reproductive ability.
HOW TO CHOOSE AN EASTER GIFT BOX?
The appearance of the Easter gift box and the occasion of the application
The first is to start with the appearance of the Easter gift box. The gift box is different from other ordinary carton boxes. The shape of a gift box will be the first to catch the eyes of consumers. An Easter gift box with a novel and beautiful design can be seen by consumers first. The eye has a stunning feeling, thus attracting consumers’ attention and arousing consumers’ desire to buy. For different products, of course, the tones and colors to be matched are also different, so consumers have different psychological effects. Some copy contents of the packaging can also have corresponding psychological effects to impress consumers’ shopping needs. Seeking novelty, not seeking, seeking change, and liking to pursue novelty are the general psychology of people. Most people will have a very different visual appreciation effect on the traditional cultural style after they have aesthetic fatigue on the packaging of modern design style. Many manufacturers will pursue innovation in response to this psychology of the public, and produce various novel Easter gift boxes.
Secondly, we should also pay attention to the occasion of the Easter gift box application. Gift box selection mainly depends on different occasions to choose different gift box packaging, so at Easter, we have to choose some Easter gift boxes that are suitable for the Easter atmosphere.
Price
Let’s compare the prices of Easter gift boxes. For example, when gift box packaging is used to compare more expensive items, you need to choose some low-key or gas gift box packaging, which can highlight your love and accumulation. The price of Easter gift boxes is now based on different raw materials. There are a variety of prices for products, and everyone should try to shop around when choosing, and there is no need to buy immediately because a gift box is beautifully packaged.
The practicability of Easter gift boxes and the target audience
First of all, we should pay attention to the practicality of the Easter gift box. As the outer packaging of the product, the gift box should play the role of decoration and protection. The gift box should be fully coordinated with the product. The two need to be matched with each other. Otherwise, there will be a great contrast between the Easter gift box and the product, no matter how beautiful the Easter gift box design is, it does not matter. Secondly, we need to know that the main service object of Easter gift boxes is consumers, so the design of gift boxes and the needs of consumers are the main points that businesses need to pay attention to. For example, it is generally necessary to give gifts to the elderly, relatives, and friends, or to be a little more festive. If it is given to friends or couples, it must have a lot of future. Everyone should choose gift boxes according to different groups of people.

For designers, it is necessary to know the classic box of packaging in order to put on a cool wedding dress for the packaging of the product. We will continue to take you through the common box-type structures.
Socket Easter gift box type
The socket-type packaging box is printed on white cardboard or pit paper. It can be folded after die-cutting. The upper and lower ears are inserted. The upper part is the same as the bottom. Its advantages are simple to shape and craftsmanship, cheap price, convenient packaging, suitability for light-weight commodities, generally used for inner boxes and simple color box card boxes.

Airplane packing box
After the packaging box is unfolded, it is a whole piece of chopped paper. It is named after its unfolded shape that resembles an airplane. The structural design is used to achieve one-piece molding, which does not require box gluing, which can save processing costs. The biggest advantage of the aircraft box packaging box is that it has better compression resistance and is easy to fold. This type of box is also widely used in the market, and aircraft boxes can be seen from express packaging to high-end luxury packaging.
THE MATERIAL OF THE EASTER GIFT BOX
Packaging boxes can be seen everywhere in our lives. No matter which supermarket we enter, we can see all kinds of products, colorful and in different shapes. The first thing that catches the eyes of consumers is the packaging box of the product. In the development process of the entire packaging industry, paper packaging, as a common packaging material, is widely used in production and life practice.
When we customize the box, the printing factory will ask for the paper material used. For new entrants, the paper material of the product packaging box may be unfamiliar. Below, JERL Packing will share with you some knowledge of common paper materials for Easter gift boxes. Let’s take a look.
Kraft paper
Kraft paper is tough and inexpensive. It not only has good folding resistance and water resistance, but also has the characteristics of being non-toxic, odorless, non-polluting, high strength, and high environmental protection. It meets the national environmental protection standards and is the most popular environmentally friendly packaging material in the world. one. Therefore, generally kraft paper is mostly used for food, as well as 3C digital products, gift boxes, and another environmentally friendly packaging.
Corrugated paper
The corrugated paper has the advantages of lightness and sturdiness, strong load and pressure resistance, shock resistance, moisture resistance, etc., and the cost is low. According to the strength, corrugated paper can be divided into 5 categories: A flute, B flute, C flute, E flute, and F flute. Generally speaking, corrugated cardboard made of A-type corrugation has better buffering properties and a certain elasticity; B-type corrugated has good stability, smooth surface, high plane pressure, suitable for printing, and is mostly used for outer packaging; C-type corrugated is more stable. Type A is the next; E is thin and dense, with a better printing effect, but poor strength, and is mostly used for exquisite inner packaging. In addition, according to the waveform shape, corrugated paper can also be divided into a V shape, U shape, and UV shape.
Coated paper
As a common packaging material, coated paper is also one of the common materials for making Easter gift boxes. Its main raw materials are coated base paper and paint. The double-coated paper refers to double-sided coated paper, which is smooth on both sides and can be used for double-sided printing, while single-coated paper has only one smooth side. Generally, coated paper is suitable for multi-color overprint printing, with bright colors and rich layer changes after printing. It is mostly used in the packaging of cosmetics, food, medicine, and other high-end products.
White cardboard
White cardboard is a kind of thick and thickly coated paperboard with a large basic weight. The base paper is composed of 3-4 layers on the paper machine. The basis weight is generally higher, thicker, and has high burst resistance. Different grades of white cardboard with different quantitative requirements have different requirements for stiffness and burst resistance. The higher the grade, the higher the stiffness and burst resistance requirements. Generally, white cardboard is often used to make packaging cartons, such as medicine boxes and cosmetic packaging boxes.
PACKAGING PRINTING TO MAKE YOUR EASTER GIFT BOX MORE BEAUTIFUL
Exquisite Easter gift boxes are also inseparable from packaging and printing. Packaging and printing are important means and ways to increase the added value of your products, enhance the competitiveness of your products, and expand the market. Below we will take you to understand the necessary packaging and printing process knowledge.
Embossed printing
Embossing printing is a special inkless printing process. On the Easter gift box printed with pictures and texts, two embossed plates are made according to the pattern required by the customer, and then embossed with a machine, and the surface of the printed matter is shaped like a relief. This is a unique print art. Concave-convex embossing can make stereo-shaped pattern text, add decorative art effects, improve product quality, and add value-added products.
Hot stamping
Hot stamping, also known as anodized aluminum foil hot stamping, refers to a process in which the hot stamping foil instantly transfers the pattern and text on the plate to the surface of paper, plastic, etc. after a certain temperature and pressure. Hot stamping has the characteristics of a clear pattern, beautiful appearance, bright color, and wear resistance. By bronzing the product, it can produce pictures and texts with a brilliant metallic luster effect, so that the appearance of the product is gorgeous, colorful, and elegant. Generally speaking, the bronzing process is mostly used for surface decoration to increase the added value of products. I like festivity, and the combination of bronzing and embossing technology to show its luxury. At the same time, it can also endow the product with high anti-counterfeiting performance, and use holographic positioning to stamp the trademark logo to prevent counterfeiting and protect the famous brand. At the same time, bronzing is very capable of expressing the individuality of product packaging and is safe and environmentally friendly. If your Easter gift box is gilded, then I believe your Easter gift box will be very delicate.
Lamination
Lamination is the process of covering the surface of Easter gift boxes with plastic films such as polypropylene, and then heating the adhesive to make them stick together. By laminating, the color can be more bright and eye-catching, it is not easy to be damaged, and the service life is improved. At the same time, it can also make up for the quality defects of printed products to a great extent. Many apparent defects that appear in the printing process can be covered after lamination (especially after lamination). Therefore, the surface of most Easter gift boxes will be covered.
UV
UV imitation metal etching printing, also known as matte or sand surface printing, is a layer of uneven translucent ink printed on a substrate with metallic mirror gloss (such as gold and silver cardboard), which is cured by ultraviolet light (UV), producing an etched or frosted effect like a shiny metal surface. Imitation metal etching ink printing products have an obvious etching effect, full ink film, and strong three-dimensional effect, which can make the printed matter soft, solemn, elegant, and luxurious, and make the packaged products full of high-grade, to achieve the effect that ordinary ink is difficult to achieve.
HOW TO SAVE ON THE COST OF EASTER GIFT BOXES
Affected by the new crown epidemic, various raw materials have risen sharply recently, which has also put many companies under considerable cost pressure. So, how to control the cost of packaging boxes on the premise of ensuring quality? Today, JERL Packing will talk to you about this topic.
First of all, you must know that the cost of packaging consists of the following parts: design fee, pre-press fee, material fee, printing fee, and post-press processing fee. However, it should be noted that there are fixed costs and non-fixed costs.
As far as Easter gift boxes are concerned, material costs account for a large proportion of the entire printing cost, including plate fees, printing material fees, and anodized aluminum fees. Different types and grades of printing equipment, different printing plants, or printing processes have different standards for printing labor costs, and color printing is generally priced by color order. When the print volume is small, it will be calculated according to the start-up fee (ie the starting price). There are many processing techniques after the Easter gift box is made, but the calculation method is mainly calculated by the number of processed pieces or processing area; glazing, lamination, hot stamping, etc. are calculated by processing area. If you choose a third-party design company, it will involve the design cost of the Easter gift box. There are single-piece calculation methods and multi-piece calculation methods for calculating design time, and the single-piece calculation method is generally used for packaging cartons. However, if the design layout is adjusted too many times, it cannot be ruled out that this part of the cost will be increased. Of course, it is generally determined by the two parties through negotiation and has greater flexibility. Pre-press costs include image scanning, imposition, production, proofing, etc. Scanning is priced based on the amount of image information (megabytes), imposition is charged according to the size of the format, and proofing is charged according to the format and number of colors. Especially for proofing, a proofing fee will be generated for each proofing.
In addition, the above are all visible costs, and it should be noted that there are also invisible costs involved. For example, the labor cost, if the company chooses to design the packaging by itself, the labor cost of the designer should also be calculated. The longer the design time, the higher the cost. In addition, there is also the cost of time. If there is frequent rework due to problems in the design, production, and other links, the time to market the product is delayed, and the loss caused is sometimes immeasurable.
Therefore, if you want to avoid high costs, you also need to adopt different coping methods for the above different types of expenses. This part of the cost is relatively fixed, but it is not completely without room for saving. For example, under the premise of ensuring product safety, choosing a relatively low-cost paper as the material of the Easter gift box; under the premise of ensuring the quality of the packaging, simplifying the post-processing process as much as possible can reduce the cost of the packaging box to a certain extent. The proofing fee is a relatively important part here. If the design draft of the Easter gift box is frequently revised, resulting in multiple proofing, the proofing fee may even reach more than 10,000 yuan. Therefore, maintaining smooth communication channels between enterprises, design companies, printing factories, and factories, and reducing the number of rework and proofing is crucial to saving this part of the cost, and at the same time, it can also save labor, time, and other invisible costs.
