We make packaging to order. That is the whole business.
There is no warehouse of finished boxes here and no catalog of stock sizes to choose from. You send a dimension and an artwork file; a die is cut to those numbers and your job is printed on it. It is a slower way to sell packaging and a better way to get packaging that fits.
Priced from a spec, never from a number
Size, board, print, finish and run length decide what a job costs. That is why there is no price on any page: a 12-page catalog of prices would be wrong for almost everyone who read it.
A hundred pieces is a real order
Below that, the die and the press set-up dominate the cost and you would be paying mostly for tooling. We say so rather than take the order and let you find out.
The drawing comes before the commitment
Every quote arrives with a dieline drawn to your dimensions, and it is yours whether or not you order. Nobody should have to buy a box to find out what shape it is.
What is actually on this site
Everything here was written by someone who has specified the thing being described. None of it is generated.
- 78 rangesOrganized by how a pack is made — carton, corrugated, rigid, film, tube, label — because that is what decides price and lead time.
- 352 product pagesEach written separately, with its own specification, its own failure modes and its own questions. The catalog is larger than that and we are still writing.
- 15 guidesThe questions we answer most often, set out properly in ourguides on specifying packaging.
- 4 marketsUnited States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia — quoted in the currency of the delivery country.
How a job runs, start to finish
You describe the job
Dimensions and what goes inside, or the product itself. A rough sketch is fine. If you are not sure how to measure it, ourguide to measuring a box sets out the convention we work to.
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline built to your numbers and a date, usually the same working day. If a different construction would suit the product better, we say so in the reply rather than quoting what was asked for.
Your artwork goes on the drawing
You design onto the dieline we sent. We check the file and flag anything that will not print the way it looks on screen before it reaches a press.
You approve a proof
A digital proof always. A printed proof or an unprinted sample where the color, the finish or the fit is the thing you actually need to check.
We print, and it ships delivered
Freight is inside the quote rather than added afterwards, to your address, your warehouse or a fulfillment center working to its own receiving spec.
Things we do not do
Worth saying plainly, because finding out later wastes your time more than ours.
- We do not hold stockEvery job is made after it is ordered. That is what makes a hundred units possible and why nothing ships the same week.
- We do not fill boxesWe make the packaging and the inserts. Filling is done by you or a fulfillment partner.
- We do not supply your productNot the bottles, not the tubes, not the lash trays. Send us the component or its drawing and we build around it.
- We do not sign off complianceWe lay out and typeset regulated text, and we will tell you when a panel cannot hold it legibly. Whether the wording is correct is for someone accountable for that.
- We do not invent a delivery dateYou get one with the quote, once we have seen the specification — not a number chosen before we know the job.
Send a size and see what comes back
A price, a drawing and a date. Or call the sales line and describe it out loud, which is often faster.
