Foil artwork needs its own review
Tiny gaps and closely spaced letters can lose definition in a physical foil impression. Agree the artwork and tooling after reviewing a material proof; do not rely on a gold screen color.
A black body with a gold foil wordmark creates high contrast for fragrance, accessories and boutique purchases. The pictured bag uses a dark rope handle. The practical design work is to keep the foil legible on the formed bag while the side gussets and base accommodate the actual retail product.

The starting material direction is White cardboard paper with black surface. The handle or opening direction is Cotton rope or ribbon. Branding can use black print with champagne gold foil. These choices need to be read together: the illustrated construction sets the product direction, while your packed contents determine the final dimensions and reinforcement. Supply the foil artwork as a separate vector layer.
Send the gift carton exterior and filled weight, then locate the logo on the usable front panel between the top fold and base crease. State whether the logo should align with a matching box when the two stand together.

Work through this design in three steps: Check fold whitening and scuff appearance. Then specify foil shade and inspect fine strokes on the selected paper. Finally, confirm rope thickness, hole position and internal reinforcement. Record any revision on the product specification before repeating the check.
The product-specific cost variables are: Black ink coverage, surface treatment, foil area, tooling, number of foil positions, rope construction and reinforcement. Compare these on the same quantity per size and artwork. Identify whether tooling, the physical sample, accessories, assembly and delivery are included as separate line items. A lower unit price with a different handle, insert or print scope is a different specification.
Yes, define which elements are printed and which are foiled. Registration and spacing between the two processes must be reviewed on the dieline and finished sample.
Start with white cardboard paper with black surface and cotton rope or ribbon. Add the packed product information and the specific choices listed in the comparison table. Supply the foil artwork as a separate vector layer.
