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.
End To End
From Requirement Analysis To Final Delivery
The Eight Stages
Stage 01
Design
Brief captured, box style and materials proposed against what goes inside.
Stage 02
Prototyping
Mock up built and the die line drawn, then issued to your designer.
Stage 03
Material Selection
Paper, board, film, adhesive and finishing chosen against cost, load and destination market.
Stage 04
Production
Offset, digital, gravure or screen printing, then finishing, die cutting and make up.
Stage 05
Quality Check
Incoming, in process and finished goods testing.
Stage 06
Packing
Standard export carton or pallet.
Stage 07
Logistics
Ocean, air, express or land.
Stage 08
After Sales
One contact person stays with the project from design through delivery.
In Detail
What Happens Step By Step
-
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
Initial Quotation
We quote against the quantity, the specification and your delivery address.
-
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
Die Line
We build a mock-up sample and draw the die line for you.
-
5
Artwork
Your designer places the print graphics inside our die line and returns the print ready file.
-
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
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
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
Sample Lead Time
Sampling normally takes 7 to 10 days, plus 3 to 7 days international courier.
-
10
Mass Production
Normal production lead time is 3 weeks, about 1 week inland transport in China, and normally another 4 weeks of sea freight to major world seaports.
