Industry solutions
The industry changes the box, not just the print
Four products, four different ways to fail. A cosmetic carton fails on the shelf, a food tray fails in a migration test, an electronics pack fails at two metres, an apparel mailer fails on the dimensional weight invoice. The format follows from which failure matters.
Pick the constraint first
| Industry | What actually decides the design | Usual format |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetics & beauty | How it looks and feels when opened — secondary packaging is part of the product | Window carton, soft-touch folding box, cylinder |
| Food & beverage | Migration and barrier — what the material does to the food, not how it looks | Window box, sealed tray, tamper-evident blister |
| Electronics & accessories | Drop protection in transit, then presentation and hang-sell at retail | Printed card blister, thermoformed tray in a box, clamshell |
| Apparel & e-commerce | Dimensional weight and returns — the box is part of the delivery cost | Self-locking corrugated mailer, retail shelf box, printed inner |
| Gift & premium sets | Unboxing as an event, and holding several components in fixed positions | Rigid magnetic box, multi-cavity PET tray, foam insert |
The same four lines serve all of them
Plastic box, cylinder box, blister, paper box — the format is chosen per project, and the tooling is built for it. What changes between industries is the specification inside that format: the polymer, the wall thickness between 0.35 and 1.15 mm, the ink system, the insert, and the test the pack has to survive.
- No fixed size ranges — dimensions come from your product, drawn to your tolerance.
- MOQ 3,000 pcs as standard, with other quantities produced to order.
- Sampling 3–15 days, production 7–20 days after sample approval.
