From brief to approved specification
How the Custom Packaging Process Works
A custom packaging project should move forward only after the structure, dimensions, quantity, artwork, insert needs, packing requirements, and destination have been reviewed. This page explains the information and decisions needed at each stage.
1. Project brief
Send the product type, preferred box style, approximate dimensions, quantity, artwork status, insert needs, destination, and reference images.
2. Specification review
Review the box construction, opening style, fit, material direction, branding area, presentation needs, and packing requirements together.
3. Quote scope
Project pricing, minimum quantity, proof or sample requirements, timing, packing, and shipping are confirmed only after the major specifications are understood.
4. Artwork & proof
Confirm the artwork file, placement, size, color direction, and approved production reference. A proof or sample requirement is defined for the specific project rather than promised universally.
5. Production readiness
Production should begin only after the commercial terms and approved specification are clear. The current approved version should be the reference for structure, appearance, insert, and packing checks.
6. Packing & shipping
Confirm carton packing, destination, available shipping method, cost, and timing for the reviewed order. Do not rely on an unconfirmed universal delivery promise.
