Custom Packaging Development

From a product sample to an approved die line and a printed sample you can hold

Overview

Why This Matters

Most packaging problems are created before anything is printed. This is the process we use to close them out, and it is the same one written on our development page since the factory started quoting export work.

In Detail

What Happens Step By Step

  1. 1

    Brief

    You tell us what goes inside the box, which box style you like and the quantity, or you send your design artwork together with quantity and material information.

  2. 2

    Initial Quotation

    We quote against the quantity, the specification and your delivery address.

  3. 3

    Cost Alignment

    If the cost works we move straight to a mock-up. If it does not, we adjust materials, style and specification with you until the cost target is met, then make the mock-up.

  4. 4

    Die Line

    We build a mock-up sample and draw the die line for you.

  5. 5

    Artwork

    Your designer places the print graphics inside our die line and returns the print ready file.

  6. 6

    Insert Tray

    If the box needs an insert to hold the product in place, send us the product sample or a detailed dimensional drawing so we can cut the insert tray mould.

  7. 7

    Printed Sample

    A printed box with insert tray is a finished packaging sample and is charged. The cost is usually around USD 300 for box and insert tray mould together, courier excluded.

  8. 8

    Sample Refund

    For orders above 10,000 pcs the sample cost is normally refunded once the production order is placed and the deposit is received.

  9. 9

    Sample Lead Time

    Sampling normally takes 7 to 10 days, plus 3 to 7 days international courier.

  10. 10
