Cost Savings
By understanding your business needs, our engineering team can suggest ways to optimize and streamline packaging operations, saving time and money.
Engineering & Design
Our engineering and design team develops customized packaging for each product and its destination. Taking style, strength and size into consideration, we design packaging to withstand supply-chain demands and look good in the process.
Packaging Engineered to Fit Your Product and Its Destination
Our in-house packaging designers specialize in structural design and graphic, artwork, and print preparation. Using the latest CAD, prototyping, prepress, and visualization tools, we can take a project from rough dimensions or an existing box through dielines, samples, proofs, and production files.
Packaging Optimization & Redesign Benefits
Freight Solutions
Packaging optimizations can decrease freight costs and increase efficiency.
Labor Efficiency
Easy-to-assemble package designs can reduce packing labor and increase efficiency.
Customer Satisfaction
Frustration-free packaging can improve customer satisfaction.
Inventory Optimization
Consolidating the number of packaging SKUs can reduce overhead and improve order efficiency.
Structural design and packaging graphics
The product, packing method, shipping conditions, shelf presentation, and print process affect the same package. Our designers keep those decisions connected from the first drawing through the approved production files.
Structural design
Structural design prioritizes functionality, durability and cost-efficiency so the package performs reliably across the supply chain. The design must protect its contents during shipping, handling and storage while remaining manufacturable.
The work can begin with a product, rough dimensions, photographs, an existing box, or a current specification that needs improvement.
Graphic design, artwork, and prepress
New packaging graphics or adaptation of supplied brand files, including panel layouts, barcodes, copy placement, spot colors, separations, trapping, and files prepared for the selected print method.
Artwork is checked against the approved dieline so folds, closures, glue areas, and visible panels are correct before production.
Samples, proofs, and production approval
A plain structural sample, a printed mockup, a finish proof, and a production sample do different jobs. We state what each approval represents before it is made.
- Dieline and structural drawingConfirms dimensions, folds, joints, clearances, material allowances, and print panels.
- Plain sampleChecks product fit, opening, closure, loading, removal, insert position, and assembly.
- Printed mockup or finish proofChecks artwork, color process, panel orientation, coating, foil, wrap, or another visible finish.
- Production sampleUsed when the order requires approval from the intended materials and production process.
Packaging redesign and problem correction
An oversized taped box with a loose foam block may arrive damaged, take too long to pack, and waste pallet space. A redesign can right-size the case, hold the product with a repeatable insert, reduce tape and packing steps, and improve pallet density.
We can review damage, material use, packing time, freight, print, presentation, or inconsistent repeat orders, then carry the approved change into new production files.
