Inner lining
For inner-lining projects, review the lining material, box-board surface, cut size and corner geometry before confirming the pre-coated adhesive route.
Gift Box Covering & Lining Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive
A pre-coated gift-box route in which adhesive is applied to the back of the covering or lining material, dried, paired with release liner, then used for outer wrapping or inner lining.
Application requirements
What the adhesive route needs to handle
Compatibility with the back of the selected covering or lining materialControlled drying before release-liner laminationPractical liner release during box convertingFlat appearance with edge, corner and lining hold
Application examples
Outer covering and inner lining are reviewed separately.
The same pre-coated process can serve different gift-box positions, but the face material, board surface, geometry and appearance checks still need separate testing.
Common substrates
Printed and coated paper covering materialsSelected film-faced and decorative covering materialsGrayboard and rigid box boardGift-box lining materialsRelease liner
Common failure problems
- Poor wet-out on coated, printed or treated face materials
- Adhesive transfer or unsuitable liner release
- Bubbles, wrinkles or uneven appearance during wrapping
- Edge or corner lifting after forming
- Different bonding results across grayboard and lining surfaces
Selection logic
Start with the use case, then narrow the route by substrate, process window and failure mode.
Covering or lining material composition, coating and back treatmentGrayboard, rigid box board or inner-lining surfaceCoat weight, drying window, liner and conditioning timeBox geometry, wrapping tension, corners and edge design
Recommended product routes
- Use the CF-6078 pressure-sensitive route when the covering or lining material is pre-coated, dried and liner-backed before box assembly
- Use the direct color-box adhesive route when glue is applied during box making instead of pre-coating with release liner
Sample request checklist
- Covering or lining material sample and back-surface treatment
- Grayboard, rigid box board or inner-lining sample
- Release liner specification or sample
- Coating method, target coat weight and drying window
- Outer wrapping, inner lining or both
- Corner, edge, appearance and packing acceptance method
Testing suggestions
Coat the back of the actual covering or lining material, dry it fully and pair it with the intended release liner
Wrap the finished construction around the real grayboard box and include corners, edges, folds and recessed lining areas
Check liner release, transfer, bubbles, wrinkles, edge lift and appearance after the agreed conditioning and packing period

FAQ
Is this the same process as direct color-box gluing?
No. This route coats adhesive onto the back of the covering material, dries it and adds release liner before box assembly. Direct color-box gluing applies adhesive during the box-making process.
Can one adhesive fit every gift-box covering material?
Covering papers, films, printed layers, back treatments, grayboard and lining surfaces can behave differently. The finished material construction should be confirmed by sample testing.
