Our Custom Turned Edge Box Capabilities

Foil Stamping Embellishments

Make a bold statement with colorful, metallic accents on your turned edge boxes. Hot foil stamping uses heat and pressure to apply real foil to your packaging, creating a refined, high-end presentation. Elevate your brand’s image with a striking, polished finish that enhances the unboxing experience and leaves a lasting impression with every reveal.

Embossing Embellishments

Embossing adds sophistication and dimension to turned edge boxes to enhance both visual appeal and tactile impact. Raised elements create a premium texture that draws attention and invites interaction during the unboxing experience. Highlight your logo or key design details with embossed elements to elevate your packaging with a refined, professional finish that sets your brand apart.

Custom Inserts

Custom inserts enhance the functionality and presentation of turned edge boxes by securely holding products in place while creating a polished, organized look. Die-cut paperboard and rigid inserts can be precisely engineered to fit individual items or layered to accommodate multi-item packaging, making them ideal for product sets, kits, and premium collections. Inserts can be designed to highlight each component, prevent movement during shipping, and reinforce your brand’s attention to detail. With options for custom shapes, depths, and finishes, inserts turn a beautiful box into a complete, thoughtfully designed packaging solution.

Direct-to-Consumer Kitting & Fulfillment

Direct-to-consumer kitting and fulfillment services streamline the process of assembling, packing, and shipping your turned edge box projects. From organizing multiple components to assembling inserts, products, and printed materials, kitting ensures every package is consistent and ready for delivery. Fulfillment support helps brands save time and reduce handling by managing inventory, packing orders, and preparing shipments for customers or campaigns. Whether for subscription programs, product launches, or promotional mailers, kitting and fulfillment services help deliver a seamless, professional unboxing experience directly to your audience.

How Custom Turned Edge Boxes Can Make All the Difference

Unmatched Look and Feel

Turned edge boxes offer a level of refinement that sets them apart from standard folding cartons or corrugated packaging. Wrapped edges, rigid construction, and premium cover materials create a smooth, substantial feel that immediately communicates quality. From soft-touch papers to textured or specialty wraps, every material choice contributes to a sophisticated presentation that looks as good as it feels in hand. The result is packaging that conveys value before the product is even revealed.

Tailored to Your Brand

Every turned edge box can be fully customized to reflect your brand’s identity and messaging. Choose from custom sizes, box styles, materials, colors, and finishes to create packaging that aligns seamlessly with your visual standards. Branding elements such as foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and custom inserts allow you to highlight logos, typography, and key design details with precision. This level of customization ensures your packaging feels intentional, cohesive, and unmistakably yours.

Enhanced Unboxing Experience

Turned edge boxes transform packaging into an experience by guiding how customers interact with your product. Thoughtful design elements like layered inserts, magnetic closures, and premium finishes create a sense of anticipation and discovery. Each step of the unboxing process feels deliberate, elevating the perceived value of the product and encouraging customers to pause, engage, and share. A memorable unboxing experience not only delights customers but also strengthens brand recall and long-term loyalty.

Testimonials From Our Customers

So thankful you for two and your team. You all are truly a joy to work with! You make my job worth showing up for each day. Thanks for all your hard work this year. We wouldn’t have had all our success without your partnership.

Our MEDiAHEAD portal is great and easy to use. We have 3,500 people who use the portal, and any of them can log in to use it. We know the difference between good and bad! You have been a strong partner with us for 25 years now. At one time, we were working with about 200 different vendors. We sent out RFPs and began working with another web portal supplier — it flopped! We turned to MEDiAHEAD — you have the quality and the logistics we need, and meet all of our standards. That was what our previous vendor was lacking. We wouldn’t change a thing! We love that MEDiAHEAD is big but not too big, and we get personalized service every time we call. Your print quality is great and is one of the main reasons we partnered with you. Your customer service is very solution oriented, and you always want to help.

MediaHead literally saved us with their customizable web platform and printing capabilities. We had an unsuccessful experience with another company and I wasn’t sure who could help create a site that actually worked the way we needed it to. After meeting with MediaHead, I instantly felt like not only were they an extension of our team, but also people I’ve known for years. They are a solutions oriented team who use their expertise to develop the right system or site for you. The turn around and pricing were great and the end product had our client (and us) very happy. Now I am confident in presenting this solution to our clients in the future, since I know I have a partner who can execute and deliver.

Thank you all for your help in producing this piece (& fast)! 

We will have more sections of this seed guide booklet to print in the near future.

The embellishments that MediaHEAD achieved on our labels were amazing. Easy to work with and great follow up and understanding of what we needed for our project! Thanks Kat, you and your team crushed it!

MediaHead has always been a great print/distribution partner. I know I can always count on them for great quality and speed. Bill and Kat have always been so great to work with and that’s why I have continued to work with MediaHead for the last 4 years.

Kat and team are willing to do whatever it takes to meet our needs. We had two very fast turn print needs and MediaHEAD delivered – even after a few roadblock popped up endangering our important deadline. Can’t thank you enough!

MEDiAHEAD is fantastic for special projects that other printers can’t (or won’t) handle properly. Their quality and attention to detail are excellent, turnaround is fast, and they’re genuinely dedicated to making customers happy. Plus, they’re super creative and fun to work with. Highly recommend!

Oh my goodness the level of quality this place produces is amazing. I ordered some promotional material for my Salon business, and they were so easy to work with, so professional, and the quality of the materials is truly top-tier. Don’t hesitate to use them for your printing needs!!!

The foiling was exceptional – from tiny type to large foil and embossed areas. Used to get these printed out of town but it’s so nice to find someone in Kansas City that can do this type of work. Highly recommend MEDiAHEAD!!
