how it works

Six Steps, One Point of Contact

From first sketch to finished carton, every step below happens in-house — no outsourcing, no hand-offs between vendors, no surprises between what’s approved and what ships.

Step 01 — Discovery

Getting to Know Your Business, Before Anything Else

We start by understanding how you do business today, how you’d ideally like to do business, and where the pain points are. This works both ways — we want to be sure it’s a good fit for both sides before we move forward.

Step 02 — Design

From Sketch or Sample to a Custom Solution

Whether we’re mimicking an existing carton or building something from scratch, our team works directly with you — collecting samples, sketches, and ideas, including on-site visits when it helps — to engineer the right solution.

Step 03 — Proof

Free Samples Confirm It's All Systems Go

We provide free size-and-style samples so you can confirm it’s all systems go. Once approved, we supply graphics files to your art team, or move straight into production trials.

Step 04 — Art

Press-Ready Files, Built by People Who Know Our Presses

Our in-house art team reviews color, gives feedback, and builds press-ready files. We know our presses better than anyone — what’s approved is exactly what gets matched on press.

Step 05 — Production

Full-Service Production, Start to Finish

Plate-making, sheeting, offset printing, die-cutting, finishing, and packout to your spec — with SOPs and quality checkpoints at every stage. 

Step 06 — Growing the Partnership

We Get to Know Your Cartons Better Than You Do

We get to know your process, needs, and order patterns over time — often better than you’d expect — and use what we learn to find cost savings and optimization opportunities that benefit us both.
