We printed 50,000 boxes for a UAE fragrance brand last quarter. Here's what most print buyers get wrong before they even place an order.
Most businesses in the UAE overpay for packaging.
Not because suppliers are scamming them — but because they walk in asking for the wrong thing.
They say "I want a nice box."
Instead of: "I need a rigid box, 2mm greyboard, soft-touch laminate, gold foil on the logo, MOQ 500, delivered in 12 days."
That gap? It costs you money every single time.
Here's what we've learned after years printing for perfume brands, corporate gifting companies, and retail chains across the UAE:
The brands that get the best price, fastest turnaround, and sharpest quality are the ones who show up knowing exactly what they want — and find a supplier who can execute without excuses.
That's the standard we hold ourselves to at Al Zaytonah Printing Press.
What we actually do:
- 🎁 Rigid luxury boxes (perfume, oud, corporate gifting, hampers)
- 🏷️ Custom labels & stickers (product, barcode, custom die-cuts)
- 📄 Offset & digital print (brochures, catalogues, flyers, cards)
- ✨ Finishing: hot foil, embossing, UV spot, lamination
We've delivered for clients like Lulu and Emirates NBD.
We're based in Sharjah, we serve all of UAE, and we don't ghost you after you send the brief.
