There are several steps between the first idea and finished packaging on your pallet. Knowing the process helps you plan better and set realistic deadlines. You also avoid typical delays. This is how custom packaging is made.
It starts with your requirements: what product needs packaging? With what dimensions and weight? For the shelf, for shipping or as a gift? In what quantity and by when? The more precise the information, the better the recommendation. Together we clarify the packaging type, material, printing and finishing. Our article How to find the right packaging for your product offers guidance.
Based on your information, you receive a binding quote, from us within 24 hours. It includes a fixed price with no hidden costs and a delivery date. Alternatively, you can put together your packaging yourself in the configurator.
Every folding carton and box is based on a construction. This produces the die line, the flat blank with all cutting and creasing lines. It determines how the packaging will later be folded, closed and filled. For many styles, we provide templates into which you can place your design directly.
Your design is placed on the die line, with bleed, the correct colours and finishing layers. Pay attention to how the sides of the packaging will relate to each other. Which side is the front, and where is the bottom? Our free print data check reviews your files before production. Common mistakes are covered in our article The most common mistakes when creating print data.
A sample before the series is worthwhile. A blank sample shows shape and fit, a printed sample shows colours and finishing. Only when everything is right do you approve production. Read why this matters so much in our article Why is a print sample important before series production?.
After your approval, manufacturing begins: prepress, printing, finishing, die-cutting and gluing. When all steps take place in the same plant, they fit together seamlessly and are easy to control. Our article From print file to finished product describes the technical process in detail.
Colours, registration, die-cutting and gluing are checked during and after production. This ensures that the entire run matches the approved sample. More in our article Quality control in the printing and packaging industry.
