Design
Our in-house graphic designers are structural packaging design wizards. All we need is a sample of the product, or the size of the product, and we’ll do the rest.
We’ll produce a realistic 3D interactive PDF that can be viewed from various angles. This great tool lets you visualise a product before it’s manufactured.
Sample Making
We produce one-off samples of the actual product too, to test the strength, product fit, look and feel of the finished item. This gives you confidence that you’ll get what you’re expecting.
Manufacturing
We’re skilled in producing a broad range of soft packaging in different sizes and on various stock weights and thicknesses (up to 700um). Specialised equipment allows in-line gluing and forming of packaging, presentation folders, CD sleeves and side-seam or crash-lock bottom boxes.
