Prototypes

Got an idea on a napkin? We’ll turn it into something you can hold. Our rapid prototypes let you test structure, fit, function and graphics before you spend a dime on tooling or a full print run. Tweak it, test it, perfect it. Low quantity and fast turnaround are what we do best, so you can move from concept to confident decision in days, not months. When you’re ready for the real thing, we can take you all the way through commercial production.

Set-Up Boxes

Some products or opportunities demand packaging that makes a statement. Our rigid set-up box prototypes deliver the premium look, feel and structure that elevate the unboxing experience. From luxury packaging to specialty gift and influencer boxes, we help you explore creative designs, materials and finishes that make your brand impossible to overlook.

Sample Whites

Before you add the graphics, make sure the structure works. Our unprinted white packaging samples let you evaluate size, shape, fit and functionality without the distraction of design. Perfect for testing new concepts, refining structural details and getting stakeholder approval, sample whites help you work out the details before investing in printed samples or a production run.

Folding Cartons

From simple cartons to complex custom designs, we create folding cartons with crisp folds, clean edges and true-to-brand color. Explore structural possibilities, evaluate graphics and finishes, and see how your packaging performs before committing to commercial print runs. Whether you need a handful of sales samples or a full commercial print run, we’ll help you get every fold just right.

Micro Flutes

Micro flute packaging gives you the protection of corrugated with a surface smooth enough for beautiful, high-impact graphics. It’s ideal for heavier products, e-commerce shipping and subscription boxes that need to survive the journey and still look great on arrival. We’ll help you pick the right flute for your product, so your packaging has strength without sacrificing style.

Functional Packaging

Sometimes packaging needs to exceed basic functionality. We design and build packaging with features like inserts, dispensers, tear strips, windows and easy-open or resealable closures that make life easier for your customers and supply chain. Tell us what your product needs to do, and we’ll engineer a solution that delivers.

Pouches

Stand-up, flat, gusseted or resealable, pouches are one of the fastest-growing formats on the shelf, and for good reason. They’re lightweight, eye-catching and versatile. We produce short-run pouch samples that look and feel like production, so you can test your design, wow a buyer or launch a limited release without committing to thousands of units.

Labels

Your label is often the first thing a shopper sees, so it has to work hard. We print sharp, vibrant labels for bottles, jars, cans, tubs and more, with color you can count on and finishes that elevate your brand. Need a small batch for a pitch, a trade show or a test market? No problem. How about unique shapes and sizes? Not an issue. Because when it comes to standing out, every detail counts.

Shrink Sleeves

When your design needs to make an impact from every angle, shrink sleeves deliver. They’re perfect for unique bottle shapes, seasonal promotions and products that need to pop from every angle. We create realistic shrink sleeve samples that help you visualize how graphics wrap around your product’s unique shape. Evaluate fit, distortion, color and shelf appeal before production, so you can fine-tune the details and see the full effect before you scale up.
