  1. Branding Elements: Add logos/patterns to ribbons, tags, sleeves, or tissue paper via stamping, embossing, or digital printing (ensure color accuracy and material compatibility).
  2. Size Adjustments: Modify ribbon length, booklet dimensions, or envelope sizes to align with packaging scale (e.g., 15mm-wide ribbons for small boxes vs. 25mm for gift bags).
  3. Content Customization: Personalize thank-you cards or booklets with tailored messages, illustrations, or QR codes (proofread text and verify print resolution ≥300dpi).
