Product Overview
Our Christmas advent calendar gift box is a premium 24-drawer countdown packaging solution for chocolates, candies, mini toys, cosmetics, and spirits samplers. Each numbered drawer pulls out smoothly to reveal a compartment sized for truffles, pralines, or miniature products. The rigid outer shell — constructed from 2.5mm greyboard wrapped in 157gsm C1S art paper — maintains structural integrity through the full 24-day countdown, while festive CMYK printing with gold foil accents creates an irresistible holiday retail display. Outer graphics are printed on our KBA Rapida 105 4-color offset press for rich, vibrant Pantone-matched colours, and drawer wraps run on the Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 7+1 UV line for instant-cure gloss and scratch resistance. All drawer blanks are precision-cut on the Bobst SP 102 BMA flatbed die-cutter with ±0.15mm registration for consistent slide-fit across all 24 positions.
