Initial brief

Start by providing us with your initial brief. Let us know your packaging requirements, including the style, size, quantity, and information about how and what the packaging will be used for as well as any specific design elements or features you desire.

Quote

Based on your initial brief, we'll provide you with a quote for your bespoke packaging project. The quote can include the pricing for multiple quantities, special options and guidance on production timelines.

Sample

Upon accepting the quote, next we'll create an unprinted sample of your bespoke packaging. This step allows you to physically experience and test the look, feel, and functionality of your packaging before moving forward with full-scale production.  If there are any changes required we will amend the sample until approved.

Cutter

Once the sample is approved, we'll create a custom cutter for your packaging design.  We send the cutter guide as an artwork layer for you to drop your artwork into, before sending it back to us for proofing.

The cutter ensures precise and consistent die-cutting, creasing, and folding of your packaging materials.

Proof

Once we have received your artwork our prepress team will preflight check the artwork and provide you with a proof for approval.  This proof allows you to review and confirm that all design elements, artwork, and structural aspects are exactly as intended. Take your time to thoroughly examine the proof before approval, and provide any necessary amendments if required as this is the final check before production.

Delivery


Once the proof is approved, we'll initiate the production process. Our skilled production team will carefully manufacture your packaging using premium materials and state-of-the-art machinery.  Once completed, your order will be flat-packed ready for assembly by you and we deliver to a UK mainland address using an overnight service as standard.

Yes we can provide multiple prices for different order quantities to help you decide what works best for you.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity?

  • Designed by our in-house sample team, ensuring it is fit for purpose and holds your example contents.

  1. Once you have approved a quotation we can get started with sampling.
  2. Pay the initial sample fee.

How long does it take to produce a sample?


As standard this will be 3-5 working days from when we receive your initial sample fee and your example product contents to create and test the suitability of the sample.

Do I have to send the example contents?

Yes this any background of how the packaging will enable our sample team to design and test the sample before sending it to you for approval, speeding up the process. Of course example contents are not relevant for some types of packaging.

Can I skip this step?

No, all the steps of our order process are there to make sure the end packaging is fit for purpose.

Can I get a printed sample - to see how my design will look?

As standard we provide a hard copy proof on a thin proofing material. If you want to see your design on the same material as your final order we can provide a printed prototype or a wet proof for an extra charge.

Once you have approved the unprinted sample.

  • We send the PDF Artwork Template for you to drop your artwork into and return.

How do I approve the artwork?

Create Print Ready Artwork:

  1. We send you the PDF artwork template (The cutter guide setup ready for you or a designer to drop in your artwork).
  2. Open the PDF artwork template in Adobe Illustrator (Or alternative).
  3. Drop in your artwork and design your packaging
  4. Save as a PDF
  5. Send us the PDF and we will begin the proofing process.

Do I need a graphic designer?

An experienced graphic designer is needed to make sure your artwork is print ready. Printed packaging artwork is complicated and our expert team is here to help if needed.

How long does proofing take?

We impose your artwork for print, carry out pre-flight checks and send you a hard copy proof in the post. So this takes a minimum of 3 working days. If there are any amends this will add time.

What is a hardcopy proof?

A hardcopy proof is a print out of you final PDF artwork; printed to scale it shows where the crease, cut and glue areas will be. It is printed on thin proofing paper, NOT on the material we will use for production. It is your final check to ensure the final design is approved for print.

Can I just get a PDF proof?

We need approval of the hard copy proof before production. For very small amends we can send a PDF proof for approval.

Can I change the size of the template?

You can not change the size or dimensions of the PDF artwork template. If you need the size changed we will need to resample the new size for your approval before proofing.
