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.
