Gold and Silver Board Packaging: Review the Proposed Surface and Decoration

When considering gold- or silver-colored board, review the proposed surface together with printing, folds and other decoration. Confirm the actual board specification rather than choosing from the color description alone.

Identify the proposed board

Ask for the board construction, surface treatment and sample reference included in the quotation. The illustrated white pack with gold-colored accents shows a visual direction, rather than proving the composition of a metallic board.

Review the assembled panels

Compare the surface on broad faces, folded areas and opening edges of the sample. Check how the printed artwork and any additional decoration sit on it. Record the appearance required at these different positions.

Confirm the approved combination

Keep the chosen board, printing and finishing references together in the specification. Recheck the sample if one of these changes. Any required handling or surface evaluation should be agreed for the proposed combination rather than inferred from its color.
