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 ConfirmIt'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 CartonsBetter 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.
