Fast Printed Named Finalist for Innovation at the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Fast Printed Packaging has been named a finalist in the Innovation category at the Digital Labels & Packaging Awards 2025! This recognition celebrates our game-changing work in developing our Custom Printed Magnetic Boxes; an industry-first that combines premium presentation and rapid turnaround.

A UK-First in Custom Printed Packaging

Traditionally, luxury magnetic boxes came with high minimum order quantities, long lead times, and limited personalisation options. Fast Printed is now the only company in the UK offering digitally printed magnetic boxes in short runs with turnaround times as fast as next day, making high-end packaging accessible to small businesses and fast-moving brands.

What Makes It Innovative?

To make the boxes customisable, we worked closely with our box manufacturer to adapt the surface material, enabling full-colour digital print directly onto the rigid box. We also modified our printing machinery to accommodate the box’s unique structure, allowing it to pass through cleanly and print consistently without distortion or misalignment.

The result? A premium, reusable, and recyclable magnetic gift box that supports everything from e-commerce and retail gifting to product launches, all without the usual wait times or high MOQs.

Designed With Seasonal Gifting in Mind

Our innovation was developed specifically with the seasonal gifting market in mind, where speed and presentation are critical. The boxes are not only premium and protective, but also sustainable and designed for reuse, making them a great choice for eco-conscious brands.

One standout example is our work with FFS Beauty, a sustainable shaving and beauty brand. For their seasonal campaigns, particularly Christmas, they needed fast, fully branded, high-end packaging. We printed and delivered their custom magnetic boxes the very same day, thanks to their close proximity to our facility. The packaging helped improve their unboxing experience, support last-minute launches, and reduce their environmental impact.

We’re incredibly proud of our team’s hard work on this one and can’t wait to attend the awards in July, where we’ll be celebrating alongside other industry leaders. Stay tuned as we take you behind the scenes and hopefully bring home the win!
