About this job
Red packets, or ang bao, are small printed envelopes given at Chinese New Year and other celebrations. Businesses in Singapore often print their own versions to give to customers and partners, so the packet doubles as a seasonal greeting and a branded keepsake.
The packet is printed on red stock, with a gold-foil border, Chinese greeting characters and a brand logo in gold. Gold on red is a traditional colour pairing for festive stationery, and foil adds a metallic shine that ordinary ink does not. The flap has a rounded top, and the packet is shown sealed in a clear bag. Foil works well on larger, solid shapes and clean lines, so fine ornaments should be kept simple enough to stamp clearly.
Foil packets are produced by printing the base colour, then stamping foil with heat and pressure through a metal die made from the artwork. Artwork is checked for foil line thickness and spacing between elements. The sheets are then die-cut and folded into envelope shape. A test packet is checked to see that foil is sharp and complete, that folds are accurate and that the packet fits the notes it will hold.

What is foil stamping?
Foil stamping presses a thin metallic film onto the paper with heat and a metal die. It produces a shiny gold, silver or coloured finish that stands out from ordinary printed ink.
Can a red packet carry a company logo?
Yes. A logo can be printed or foiled on the packet, along with greetings. Keep the logo bold and simple so foil detail comes out clearly.
What should I check before printing red packets?
Check the finished size against the notes they will hold, the foil artwork for fine lines, and any text for spelling and characters. A sample confirms the fold and fit before the full run.
Can EZ Print print something similar on a deadline?
Same-day and urgent printing available. Subject to artwork approval, payment, print type and production availability. Timing confirmed per job.
