DESIGN & CUSTOMISATION

Build the Whole Christmas Cracker, Not Just the Artwork

Turn the buyer brief into one controlled specification covering size, artwork, paper, print, finish, ribbon, contents and retail packaging.

01—02FORMAT & ARTWORK

Start With What Must Fit and How Each Layer Is Produced

Choose 9 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch standard, 14 inch or a custom size after reviewing the gift and pack. Then control dielines, buyer-owned artwork, languages, colour references, base-print layers, special-finish layers and SKU versions.

  • Cracker length and tube diameter
  • Artwork ownership and confidentiality
  • Base print, special finishes and proof route
  • SKU, language and market version control

Artwork files separate construction lines, base print, colour references and any approved finish layers.
03—04MATERIAL & FINISH

Approve the Physical Appearance, Not Only the Screen

Paper hand feel, base print, colour, foil, relief and glitter effects change under real light. The proof route is selected according to what the buyer needs to approve.

  • FSC material direction where required
  • CMYK or another suitable base-print process
  • Hot foil stamping, embossing, glitter-powder application or other approved finishes
  • Ribbon material, width, colour and tie

Real material and finish references show reflective, raised and textured effects more accurately than a screen preview.
05—06CONTENTS & PACKAGING

Connect the Inside Gift to the Outer Pack

The gift affects tube diameter, protection, assembly and the finished pack. Packaging is therefore confirmed with the cracker rather than added after development.

  • Snap, paper hat, joke, gift and inserts
  • Gift fit, market and destination review
  • Set count, arrangement and opening experience
  • Artwork, barcode, labels, cartons and freight impact
