Packaging & craft
The box is half the gift.

Tanjore Art Trays
Hand-finished Tanjore panels set into a wooden tray. Gold leaf, raised relief, the real craft.
A Tanjore panel is gesso relief, semi-precious stone and 22-carat gold leaf, laid by hand over weeks. We set finished panels into a hardwood tray with a hinged lid, so the artwork is the lid of the gift rather than a card taped to it.
Peacock, Krishna and lotus are the standing designs. The tray holds a sweet box or a dry-fruit assortment, and it stays on a sideboard long after the sweets are finished. This is the range for the twenty names on the list you cannot get wrong.

Pichwai Return Gifts
Pichwai artwork on enamelled trays with brass handles. Lotus, cow and peacock motifs.
Pichwai painting comes out of Nathdwara — lotus ponds, cows, palms, arched shrines. We print it under enamel on a round metal tray and finish the rim and the cast handles in gold.
It arrives as a serving piece, not a wrapper. Used for return gifts at scale it does something a printed box cannot: everybody in the room has something different to look at, because the design set runs to a dozen scenes.

Korai Return Gifts
Korai grass potli baskets with zari trim, woven in Tamil Nadu. Green and magenta as standard.
Korai is the reed grass that Tamil Nadu has woven into mats and baskets for centuries. These are potli baskets — a woven cylinder with a fabric drawstring top, a zari band across the join and a looped handle.
Green and magenta are the standing colourways; the fabric can be matched to a company palette on volume orders. Woven by hand, in Tamil Nadu, by people whose names we can tell you.

The argument
The half people keep.
Sweets last a week. A printed tin lasts three years on a desk; a Tanjore tray outlives the person who chose it. When we quote a per-box number, this is the part we argue hardest for.

Premium Colourful Tins
Printed food-safe tins that get reused for years. Your artwork wraps the full body.
The workhorse, and quietly the most effective thing on this page. Food-safe tins printed on the body — not stickered — in a lace pattern or in your own artwork wrapping the full surface, with a gold rolled rim.
People keep tins. Pens go in them, paperclips, cardamom. A printed tin is the cheapest way to leave a company's name on a desk for three years, which is the entire argument for spending anything on gifting at all.
- Full body, food-safe, no stickers
- Sizes
- Square and cylindrical, four heights
- Lead time
- 10 days from artwork sign-off

Premium Jute Bags
Laminated jute carriers with a lace panel. Sturdy enough to survive the commute home.
Laminated jute with rope handles, a lace panel across the front and a gusset deep enough to take a full hamper. Laminated because an unlined jute bag gives up on the first wet commute, and the bag is the part of the gift that gets carried in public.
Screen print or a stitched patch for the logo. This is what most orders travel in when the boxes are going home with people rather than being couriered.

- Lace front panel, full-depth gusset

Sustainable Bags
Recycled-board bags with rope handles and full-surface print. The low-waste option that still looks like a gift.
Recycled board, a die-cut circular handle in a contrast colour, and print across the whole face. No lamination, no plastic handle, no foil — which means it takes a fully recyclable stream at the other end.
It also takes per-recipient printing, so each bag can carry one person's name. Five thousand bags, five thousand names, one spreadsheet from you.
- Material
- Recycled board, unlaminated
- Full face, per-recipient names available
- Lead time
- 12 days from artwork sign-off
