Varnish
A transparent finishing layer available in gloss, satin, or matte effects. It enhances the printed surface and adds an extra layer of visual appeal and light protection.
A matte black gift box specified so a foil or embossed finish stands out with genuine contrast, not competing with any shine of its own. Orders start from 100 units.
Matte and black is a common pairing for a reason that rarely gets explained: a matte finish barely reflects light at all, so there’s no shine on the surface competing with anything printed or stamped on top of it. That’s what a foil detail is actually working against, or with, depending on how the specification is approached.
A gloss-laminated box already carries its own sheen, so a foiled logo has to stand out against a surface that’s already reflecting light back at the viewer. A matte finish removes that competition. Because the board itself stays flat and non-reflective, a foil stamp’s own shine or an embossed detail’s own shadow line has nothing else on the surface pulling attention away from it. That’s the specification reason to choose matte over gloss here, beyond the fact that it also looks understated on its own. Pantone references and CMYK values can be used to manage colour consistency, subject to normal variation caused by the chosen board, ink, coating and production method.
How well this same finish holds up under shipping and warehouse handling is a separate specification question from the contrast argument above, and it’s answered in full on Matte Black Mailer Boxes instead. Worth reading there first if the box is going through a courier network rather than being handed over directly.
Orders start from 100 units. Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free. There are no setup fees. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
Not decided on the artwork or finish yet? Empty Black Gift Boxes gets genuinely blank stock moving without waiting on a specification like this one. Still weighing up magnetic against lift-off lid against drawer? That comparison sits inside Rigid Boxes.

This was the first time I had a custom box made and Daniel made it a pleasant, efficient experience. He was patient with all my demands and also had me speak directly with one of the designers to made sure everything was specific as possible for the final outcome.

We’ve ordered posters from this company multiple times. When the first shipment showed up damaged, they not only replaced every damaged poster, they made sure to update their packaging method to ensure safe delivery the second time. We’re now using them for our next project, and our rep Daniel has been incredibly helpful as usual. If you’re looking for a new print provider, please use these guys!

We are very pleased with our packaging design!

Very responsive to my emails and made sure that our designs were how we wanted them! I look forward to working with them again soon!

He was able to not only make sure our timeline worked, but also provided a product who's quality was so great that through the entire event people were talking about how chic and quality the boxes were. The speed at which we received responses to our [many] questions was remarkable. 10/10 would reccomend!

Luca Clifton
Once again, ACP UK and Frank in particular have proved an excellent partnership for my small business, going so far as to fix a previous order error free of charge and continuing to value my business as a customer
Derek Gill
Been working with Daniel on my boxes for our soaps and bath bombs. We just received our boxes for the soaps and the quality is five star. Daniel has been on top of his game and even caught a mistake in our spelling I highly recommend this company and will be using them For all our future orders.
★★★★★ Jason S.
I was assisted by Frank. Overall I had a satisfactory experience, and in the end my boxes turned out really nice. The stock is nice, and Frank was really helpful getting them where they needed to be. The first iterations the boxes were sized wrong, but once we got it figured out and I got the art I requested some samples before moving forward. They printed off some samples, and they were great minus a slight adjustment to the perforation. They made the adjustment and got the final order out and so far I am pleased with the quality, especially for the price. The only thing that would have bumped this up to a 5 star review would have been a little bit quicker overall experience, part of which was my fault.
Amanda Carl
This is my first time ordering custom packaging for my small business and it has been game changing. I used to hand-make boxes for my products but creating my own design has saved me so much time. Now I am excited to explore even more custom ideas! Daniel has been super helpful in bringing my vision to life. I love showing my completed design to my customers, and it makes the experience of buying my art even better!!
DMarcques Brown
Excellent service. The previous printing company was not able to meet my needs. This company did a wonderful job with my cologne boxes to help achieve the vision and design I provided. Will be back for more business.
Daniel
ACP UK went above and beyond. Frank took such a personal and hands on approach to making sure this project came out succesfully. We had a tight turn around and with the holidays breathing down our back it was coming down to the wire. Frank pulled off a miracle and delivered above and beyond what was asked for and at an incredible rate. Will definitely be returning for any future project needs.
★★★★★ Cory Sweitzer
wonderful service from a company that went beyond expectation to help my project get up and running smoothly. My sales rep, Daniel, and the design team at ACP UK made sure to have every detail in place and gave me a quote other companies could not touch! Lead times were accurate and updates for shipping were by far the most stellar i have yet to see. Thanks a million!
★★★★★ Shanik Murthy
From the very beginning the team has been nothing but helpful and responsive when it came to my inquiries. Cant thank them enough for all the time and effort they put in to help make the process easier for me! Thank you to Thomas and Daniel specifically!
Jake Marinelli
Always a great experience with ACP UK as its very high quality and quick shipping times. Mr. Frank made sure my design met my standards and Daniel did a great job with making sure all is good before shipping out the packaging.
★★★★★ Guest
First time working with ACP UK, but surprisingly worked out well. They handled the design and I believe I got the packages under 10 days, both times, as promised. I ordered a prototype first, asked them to make changes, and all was implemented well. I've also worked with another company in parallel, that was much slower. The price here is better as well. I don't know where the team operates from but they are doing excellent job!
★★★★★ Jonathan Gilbey
From star to finish of my project communication was excellent. The product was shiped and arrived in a timely manner and was an excellent quality would definitely use a again

I have been working with several companies - trying to nail down a box size and type for my organic tea business. Frank was the ONLY rep in all of the companies I reached out to who was responsive, helpful, and walked me through the entire process. It was an absolute pleasure to give my small business pounds to ACP UK! I will provide another review after I receive my custom product!
Your review will be checked before it appears on the website.
Clear answers about ordering, artwork, production, materials and delivery.
Orders start from 100 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
Not in a fixed way, but lighter and metallic foils tend to stand out the most against matte black, since they carry the most contrast against a surface with no shine of its own. Share your artwork with us and we'll flag anything likely to read weaker than expected.
That comes down to how much handling it actually sees. A one-off handover leaves the surface largely untouched; repeated warehouse or courier handling exposes the same matte finish to far more knocks and marks. Shipping it through that kind of network is exactly what Matte Black Mailer Boxes addresses.
An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. Final recyclability depends on the full material and finishing specification and the facilities available locally.
