Description
Custom Red Packet Printing Singapore — Branded Ang Bao for Chinese New Year & Corporate Gifting
We print custom red packets (ang bao / ang pow) with your company logo, branding, and festive design for Chinese New Year corporate gifting. A branded ang bao is one of the most useful CNY corporate gifts in Singapore. Everyone who receives one — clients, partners, employees — uses it during the festive season, which puts your brand in the hands of family and friends across plenty of households.
Red packets are offset printed in full colour on art paper. Finishing options include soft touch lamination, spot UV, and gold or silver foil stamping. Use one of our 20 ready-made designs or upload your own artwork.
Size Options
- Portrait (170 mm × 82 mm) — the standard vertical red packet. The most widely used ang bao size in Singapore. Fits all standard note denominations comfortably.
- Landscape (158 mm × 80 mm) — a horizontal format with a more modern look, different from the usual vertical packets.
Paper Stock
- 128 GSM Art Paper — a lighter coated paper. Cost-effective for large-volume orders. Note: the thinner weight can crease around the fold lines.
- 157 GSM Art Paper — thicker and sturdier, with better fold integrity and a more substantial feel in hand. We recommend it for branded corporate red packets.
For corporate ang bao, go with 157 GSM. The slightly heavier weight makes a real difference in how the packet feels when it’s handed over, and it resists creasing along the folds better than 128 GSM.
Finishing Options
- Soft Touch Lamination — a velvety, suede-like matte finish that feels luxurious to the touch. This is the standard finish for modern red packets and gives the packet a contemporary feel, different from typical glossy ang bao.
- Spot UV — selective glossy highlights on specific areas of your design, such as your logo, auspicious motifs, or Chinese characters. It creates a tactile and visual contrast against the soft touch matte surface. You can both see and feel the highlighted areas catch the light.
- Foil Stamping (Gold or Silver) — metallic foil pressed onto the packet for a traditional look. Gold foil is the most popular choice for CNY red packets. It symbolises prosperity and pairs well with red backgrounds. Silver foil is a sleeker, more modern alternative.
- Spot UV + Foil — the full combination. A soft touch base with both glossy UV highlights and metallic foil accents. This is our most luxurious finish for corporate red packets.
Design Options
- Custom Artwork — upload your own design for a fully bespoke red packet. Add your company logo, brand colours, custom illustrations, and festive messaging. File format: AI or PDF.
- Pre-Designed Templates — choose from 20 ready-made festive designs (GP001–GP020) and add your company logo. A faster option if you don’t have a designer or need a quick turnaround.
Design Tips for Red Packets
- Gold and red remain the most widely appreciated colour combination for CNY ang bao — they symbolise prosperity and good fortune.
- Incorporate auspicious motifs — plum blossoms, peonies, koi fish, clouds, the zodiac animal of the year, or traditional Chinese patterns.
- Place your company logo prominently but tastefully. The front centre or bottom centre is standard. The ang bao should feel festive first, branded second.
- The back panel is often overlooked. Use it for a secondary design, a short festive greeting, or your company website and QR code.
- For foil finishing, design your foil elements as bold, solid shapes. Fine lines and small text don’t stamp as cleanly in foil.
Packing Options
Red packets are packed in sets for easy distribution:
- 5 pieces per packet
- 8 pieces per packet (the most auspicious number — popular for corporate gifts)
- 10 pieces per packet
The packing quantity decides how many sets you hand out per recipient. For corporate gifting, 8 per packet is the most popular choice — the number 8 symbolises prosperity in Chinese culture.

We strongly recommend ordering early (October–November) to avoid the peak season rush and make sure your packets arrive in time.
