What are the materials for making handmade boxes?

Handmade boxes generally consist of two parts: because the cardboard is gray cardboard with rough surface, a smooth coated paper should be added to the outer layer. For example, 128 grams of copper, this gram of paper will show an uneven surface after being thinly mounted on cardboard and other glues. When pasting by hand, we should also pay attention to the fact that the paper is easy to curl after pasting, which increases the difficulty of pasting the box by hand. The surface color paper of MDF hand-made box is basically more than 250 grams of paper, including 250 grams of whiteboard and 275 grams of gold and silver cards. Because MDF is made of high-density broken wood and does not absorb water, the colored paper on the surface needs to digest and absorb the water of glue and fill it into the lines on the surface of MDF to ensure the smoothness of the box surface. It is best to choose 157 grams of double copper paper. This gram of paper is smoother when mounted on cardboard, and the grain direction of the paper can't be seen. Most commonly used in high-end manual box packaging. You can also choose 200 grams of double copper paper, which will increase the cost, but the surface of the box will be smoother. When artistic patterned paper (also called special paper) is used as the surface color paper of the box, it is not suitable for surface treatment (such as film covering or matte film) because of the characteristics of patterned paper. ), after processing, it will lose its artistic characteristics, such as not seeing the pattern, which will cover some pearlescent metal texture.
