Industry programs / Packaging built around the product

Packaging specified for the product and the route.

We build packaging programs around the product being shipped. Printed boxes, corrugated shipping cartons, thermoformed trays and EPE foam are specified together, against the same drawing.

Regular work

What we spec most often

These are product categories the group packs regularly. They do not have dedicated pages yet, so the notes below are what we would normally specify. Send the product and we will put a real structure against it.

Appliance, kitchen and bath

Heavy and awkward units. Usually double wall corrugated sized to the pallet and the retailer profile, EPE end caps at the load-bearing corners, and a printed sleeve or carton where the product sits on a shelf.

Cosmetics and personal care

Offset-printed folding cartons and rigid boxes where finish carries the price point, with a thermoformed or paper insert holding the bottle so it presents correctly when the box is opened.

Food and beverage

Printed cartons and corrugated shippers. Material selection and any food-contact requirement is confirmed per market before quoting, since the rules differ by destination.

Ecommerce and marketplace

Mailer boxes designed for the parcel network rather than the pallet: right-sized to cut dimensional weight, self-seal and tear strip options, and designed to carrier parcel profiles with our own drop and compression data.

We design to ISTA 3A and carrier parcel profiles and run in-house compression and burst testing. We do not issue certificates. You receive the test data to use with your own lab if your channel requires certification.

What a good brief contains

Four things decide the pack

An industry label is a starting point. What actually changes the structure is how the product moves.

The product
Dimensions, weight, fragile points and whether it needs to be held in a fixed position. A photo of the product or the current pack is usually faster than a written specification.
The route
Full container, LCL, or parcel network. A carton that survives a palletised sea shipment is not the same carton that survives single-parcel handling.
The stack
How high the cartons stack, for how long, and in what humidity. This sets the board grade far more than the product weight does.
The channel
Retail shelf, marketplace fulfilment centre or direct to customer. Each imposes different marking, labelling and presentation rules on the same product.
Behind every industry page

Four lines, quoted together

Printed packaging

Offset-printed cartons, mailer boxes, rigid and collapsible gift boxes, paper bags.

Corrugated shipping

Shipping and master cartons, heavy-duty double wall, die-cut inserts and dividers.

Blister and thermoformed

Blister trays, clamshells and insert trays, including ESD-safe grades.

EPE foam

Foam inserts, end caps and cushioning cut to the product, including anti-static grades.

Parts made on different lines are consolidated into one shipment, so a program that needs a printed box, a shipper and a foam insert does not pay freight three times. How the group is organised.

Tell us the product and the route.

Dimensions, weight, annual quantity, destination and how it ships. That is enough for a structural proposal and a real number.
