Capabilities
What we can make, and what we can't.
The whole specification, published in full — not hidden behind a quote form. If something here rules us out, you've lost thirty seconds instead of three weeks.
Two-piece and hinged constructions built on a greyboard core, wrapped in printed or textured paper. This is the box a fragrance set, a watch, or a limited-edition lipstick ships in.

| Wrap stock | Uncoated, coated, textured, and specialty papers |
| Maximum box size | 400 × 400 × 200 mm |

| Constructions | Lid & base · Magnetic closure · Book-style · Drawer / slipcase · Collapsible |
| Inserts | Cut EVA · Flocked vacuum-form · Moulded pulp · Board platform |
Not for us: Runs under 1,000 units, and boxes with a wrapped dimension over 400 mm. Below 1,000 the setup cost per unit stops making sense for you; above 400 mm the wrapping machine can't hold registration and hand-wrapping doubles the price.
Litho-laminated or direct-printed folding board, die-cut, glued and shipped flat. Where the volume rises and the unit cost has to come down.
| Board | Folding boxboard (FBB/GC1): lightweight board for cartons supplied flat. 250–450 gsm |
| Printing | Offset, up to 8 colours plus 2 coating units |
| Maximum sheet | 1,020 × 720 mm |
| Minimum order | 1,000 units |
| Options | Window patching · Braille embossing · Tamper-evident seals · Hanger holes |
Printed carrier bags with rope, ribbon or twisted-paper handles, glued and eyeleted on the same finishing line as our rigid boxes — so a launch that needs a box and a bag gets a colour match, not a guess.
| Paper | Uncoated, coated and kraft stocks, 120–250 gsm |
| Handles | Cotton rope · Ribbon · Twisted paper · Die-cut (self-handle) |
| Construction | Glued bottom, hand-eyeleted handles, reinforced base board |

| Minimum order | 1,000 units |
| Finishing | Hot foil, spot UV and embossing — same line as our rigid boxes |
Cotton, non-woven and woven PP bags for brands moving away from single-use packaging — printed or plain, sewn to hold their shape after repeated use, not just for the photo.
| Materials | Cotton canvas · Non-woven PP · Woven PP · Jute blends |
| Formats | Tote bags · Drawstring pouches · Shopping bags |
| Printing | Screen print, up to 4 spot colours, or full-colour transfer |
| Minimum order | 1,000 units |
Self-seal mailer boxes and laminated postal boxes built to survive a courier network, not just a shelf — the unboxing moment for a brand that ships direct.
| Board | Corrugated kraft (E/B flute) · Laminated folding board |
| Closure | Self-seal adhesive strip · Tuck-in flap · Tape-seal |
| Printing | 1–2 colour flexo (kraft) or full offset (laminated) |

Grease-resistant kraft board for pizza, burgers and bakery items — food-contact safe, self-locking construction, plain kraft or printed. Built for a kitchen counter, not a display shelf.
| Board | Grease-resistant kraft, food-contact certified, 300–450 gsm |
| Formats | Pizza boxes (9" / 12" / 16") · Burger clamshells · Bakery & dessert boxes |
| Construction | Self-locking flat-pack or glued — no extra assembly hardware |
| Printing | Plain kraft, 1–2 colour flexo, or full offset for retail-facing runs |
| Minimum order | 1,000 units |
Shipped flat and folded on demand, so a café or takeaway isn't stuck storing made-up boxes — the same finishing line that runs our rigid boxes runs these, just on food-contact-grade board.
Plain or printed transit cartons for shipping, storage and moving. This isn't the unboxing experience — it's the box that gets the product there in one piece.
| Board | Corrugated fluting — B, C and E flute, single or double wall |
| Sizes | Standard stock sizes, or cut to your dimensions |
| Printing | Unprinted, or 1–2 colour flexo for a warehouse or return-address mark |
| Closure | Tape-seal or self-locking flaps |
| Minimum order | 1,000 units |
Priced and made as a commodity, not a presentation piece — no foil, no wrap, no finishing line. Need both a shipping carton and a retail box for the same product? We run them on the same order.
Everything below is done in our own building. Nothing is subcontracted, which is why we can pull a job back onto the press the same day when a trial fails.
Hot foil stamping. Gold, silver, holographic and pigment foils. Maximum stamp area 300 × 200 mm. We hold our own brass dies for repeat jobs at no re-tooling charge.
Cold foil. For large coverage areas and photographic foil effects, run inline on the press.
Embossing and debossing. Single-level, multi-level and sculpted. Maximum depth 1.2 mm on greyboard.
Lamination. Matt, gloss, soft-touch, anti-scuff. Soft-touch adds 2 working days to the lead time.
Spot UV. Gloss and textured, registered to print within 0.3 mm.
Gift wrapping accessories. Logo-printed ribbon, custom tissue paper and printed labels — finished to match the box or bag they ship with, not ordered separately from a generic supplier.
These ship alongside the box or bag on the same job, not as a separate order — so the ribbon shade and the foil on the lid come off the same colour-managed proof.

| White dummy (unprinted structure) | 3 working days |
| Printed production sample | 7–10 working days — €180, credited against the order |
| Colour match trial | 3 working days — €120 |
We photograph every sample on a colour-managed setup before it ships, so you see it before the courier does.
4 weeks from sample approval,
for orders up to 5,000 units.
That clock starts when you approve the production sample, not when you send the artwork. Everything before approval — quoting, dummies, trials — runs on the timings above.
Rigid boxes: above 5,000 units, add roughly 1 week per further 5,000 — hand-wrapping capacity is the bottleneck, so lead time scales close to linearly with volume.
Folding cartons: the press, not the wrapping line, sets the pace, so volume scales differently — see our Work page for a real 40,000-unit example at 3 weeks. Your quotation will always confirm the actual schedule for your job rather than a formula.
We publish this number because it is the first thing you need and the last thing our competitors will commit to. If we are going to miss it on your job, you will hear that in the quotation.
