Glossary:

Artpaper:  Artboard is a solid board made from 100% primary fibre with the same finish on both sides and is predominantly used in the printing industry for book covers or business cards.

Cut Card Platform/ Plinth:  As the name suggests, this insert is a piece of card or PVC usually with a hole of a particular shape cut out of it to support the object to be put in the box. Card platforms can be lined or unlined and can also serve as a shoulder. Alternatively, to make it more decorative, the platform could be covered in satin.

Cutting Tools:  Die-cutting tools are required for the cutting and creasing of box components. The design is normally produced on a CAD machine but the tool is normally made by hand.

Finishes:  Printed paper or board can be coated using machine varnish (matt or gloss), UV varnish (high gloss) or film laminate (high gloss or matt).
