The Nutcracker Box is the newest North Pole Box Company Box. Devin designed the original Nutcracker box ten years ago. The nutcracker had a mouth that would open and close. It was a hit. Last Christmas, we redesigned the Nutcracker with refreshed artwork but a similar construction. We filled the Nutcrackers with thin mints and gave them away to friends and customers of Perfect Register. The Nutcracker Box is our most complex box.
We produce the Nutcracker Box at Perfect Register in conjunction with local printers. The Nutcracker Box uses a cutting-edge printing technique to create a metallic effect. We start by stamping a silver metallic foil onto blank paper. This done with a hot copper die. After the silver base is stamped, we collaborate with a local printing company to print the design over the silver. The areas of the Nutcracker that are printed over the silver foil appear metallic after the printing process. The printer then uses a technique called UV Coating. UV coating gives the paper a glossy appearance. Spot UV applies the glossy finish to certain areas of the box. Finally we emboss the paper to add texture and depth to the nutcracker's features. The combination of foil, printing, embossing, and UV coating help emulate the look of a classic nutcracker toy.
The next step is die-cutting. Die-cutting cuts and creases the paper transforming the flat paper sheet into a box layout. We remove the extra paper and poke out the mouth hole. Now the Nutcracker is ready for gluing. The bottoms of the nutcrackers are glued automatically on our inline gluer. The Nutcracker tops are glued by hand. We use liquid glue to ensure your Nutcracker Box lasts.
The Nutcracker Box is a available in Purple and Red. It is the perfect size for candy sticks, pretzels, or thin mints. The Nutcrackers mouth opens and closes. Kids (and adults) love playing with this festive gift box. Order some today!
