Custom Packaging
How We Develop Custom Packaging
This page explains how we develop a custom packaging project — structure, materials, sampling and production — not a catalog of box types. For formats, start with Products. For plant capability, see the Shenzhen factory. To reach the manufacturer, use the homepage or Contact.
Custom box design
Send product dimensions, how the box should open, how the product should sit, artwork and a dieline if you have one. We review fit, structure and print before sampling.
Packaging structures
Common structures include magnetic-closure boxes, lid-and-base rigid boxes, folding paper boxes, mailer boxes and paper tubes. Other constructions, including book-style or drawer-style openings, can be developed during sampling when the product requires them.
Materials
Art paper, greyboard, kraft paper, corrugated board, and molded pulp for inserts or trays. Recycled-paper options can be discussed on quote when they fit the structure.
Printing and finishing
CMYK / 4C and Pantone. Finishing options include foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, matte lamination and gloss lamination. Soft-touch and other specialty coatings can be reviewed on quote when the structure allows.
Custom inserts
Paper and cardboard inserts, plus molded-pulp trays on the Inserts category. Cavity size is taken from your product.
Prototyping and sampling
Physical samples let you check structure, dimensions, materials, artwork, color, finishing and product fit before mass production. Sampling is commonly 3–7 working days after artwork confirmation. Timing is confirmed on quote. Sample freight is paid by the buyer.
Quality control
Incoming, in-process and outgoing checks are used through the production run. Defect-rate figures are confirmed against the approved sample for each order rather than stated as a fixed site-wide number.
Packaging production
Shenzhen factory, established 2007. Production capacity includes 4 manufacturing bases, 25 production lines, 20,000+ m² of plant area and 230+ equipment sets. Production is commonly 7–20 working days after confirmation, depending on the project and quantity. Many standard programs fall within 15–20 working days. Final timing is confirmed on quote.
Development example
A fold-flat project developed for air-freight volume
See how we developed a fold-flat Christmas advent calendar box so empty packaging could ship flatter when air freight was required.
