  Anyone have a good resource for custom boxes.

  I need to make a paperboard gatefold invitation box like the image below, but they all seem to be made for weddings and have a silk covering

  Thanks

  Have you tried talking to your print reps? Let them know what you're trying to achieve, and they may have some existing dies lying around that are appropriate.

  For a one off? Die costs'll be high if there's any custom requirements — have you considered DIYing it or getting a design of yours laser cut?

  • That's why you check if the printer already has some existing dies.– Nathan_Adams1/5

    Even if there're custom requirements?

    Yes. They might have something appropriate, you never know.– Nathan_Adams3/5

    At very least, you can weigh up compromise vs cost.– Nathan_Adams4/5

    You seem to be responding to an argument I didn't make.– detritus5/5

  Are you trying to assemble a prototype / one-off or are you trying to find someone who assembles / fabricates these types of boxes?
