DS Smith

When you give someone a nice present you want the outside to reflect the time and effort you invested in the gift, right? Gift packaging from DS Smith can ensure your gifts convey just the right message!

For more than 20 years the Stabox division of DS Smith has been specialising in gift and Christmas packaging in the Benelux.

Our offices recently moved to Almelo, in the Netherlands, and sit just next to our production facility so that we can offer our customers a faster and more responsive service. Our unique combination of gift experts, designers and production facilities results in an even greater flexibility and reliability, and emergency deliveries have now become even easier.

Gift packaging must be functional and visually appealing. Combining these two traits is at the core of what our gift department does every day.

Trends and design

We are constantly on the look-out for the latest trends and developments to ensure that our annual collection of gift packs, have the power to dazzle. This year we wanted to highlight our FSC^® products and the organisation behind this important label. We are therefore particularly pleased that the FSC^®organisation is willing to support us in this initiative.

SizzlePak^® and Sizzle Fine

Gift boxes work beautifully when combined with our SizzlePak® stuffing. Responding to market trends, we have extended our collection with new colours and new variant called Sizzle Fine.
