Products
Five product types cover most packaging briefs
Each one is drawn from your product dimensions — not chosen from a stock size — then printed and finished to the board and surface you pick. Minimum order is 500 units per design and per size, and the same lines run to millions a month.
01 — Folding cartons
Printed paperboard, supplied flat
The workhorse of retail packaging: a single printed sheet that folds into a box. It ships and stores flat, so a 500-unit run does not need a pallet of empty boxes.
- Structures: straight tuck-end, reverse tuck-end, crash-lock, and sleeves that slide over a tray.
- Board and finish are confirmed against your product when we quote — the dieline shows the fit before artwork is finalised.
- Made for: shelf-ready single products, e-commerce, skincare and candle cartons, tea and confectionery.
02 — Corrugated cartons
Shipping cartons that take the journey
When the box has to survive a pallet, a container and a courier, the board changes: the corrugated flutes carry the load instead of a single folded sheet. Printed by offset, flute-laminated in house, then die-cut on the same lines as everything else here.
- Board: single-wall and double-wall, fluting matched to the weight being shipped rather than a default grade.
- Printed or plain: a printed shipper doubles as shelf presence; a plain one keeps the spend on the product, not the box.
- Made for: e-commerce fulfilment, multi-packs, export shipping and protective outer cases.
03 — Rigid & gift boxes
Set-up boxes — lid and base, or shoulder — with die-cut inserts
Greyboard wrapped in printed paper, assembled rather than folded. This is the structure for limited editions, gift sets and anything where opening the box is part of the product.
- Structures: lid and base, book-style, drawer, and a two-piece box inside a printed sleeve.
- Inside: die-cut greyboard trays and fitments cut to the shape of your product, so nothing moves in transit.
- Made for: gift sets, discovery sets, press kits, and higher price-point items.
04 — Book-style boxes
A rigid box that opens like a book
A wrapped base with a hinged lid along one long edge — the format that makes a set feel like an object rather than a container. Usually paired with a magnetic catch and a die-cut tray.
- Build: one-piece wrap, hinged spine, optional magnet and ribbon pull.
- Spine: the flat edge carries foil, a printed title or a contrast wrap — it is the face people see on a shelf.
- Made for: presentation sets, cosmetics and fragrance, annual reports, and premium unboxing.
05 — Drawer boxes
A tray that slides out of its own shell
Two rigid parts: an outer shell and an inner tray on a sliding fit. The fit is the whole job — loose enough to open with one hand, tight enough not to rattle in transit.
- Fit: the clearance is set at the drawing stage, so the drawer feel is decided before any board is cut.
- Options: ribbon or finger pull, a stop so the tray cannot fall out, and a die-cut insert inside.
- Made for: sampler sets, tools and accessories, tea and confectionery, and anything the customer takes out and keeps.
