Discuss this packaging
Plan the application
Start with the product and the process
Describe the product, dimensions, shipping loads, preferred board or paper reference and print requirements. A useful enquiry also includes the expected quantity, current pack or reference sample, artwork status and destination market. These details help the team discuss the right format and what needs to be checked before production.
Format and equipment
Share pack dimensions, fill quantity and the machine or manual process. Compatibility should be confirmed with the actual line.
Artwork and finish
Send print files or references and identify required product information, finish preferences and any opening or closure features.
What to confirm
Review the pack in its real use
Confirm available production scope, board grade, finishing and food-contact or regulatory needs for your use. Material layers, barrier targets, dimensions and performance are selected for each application. Final suitability, specifications and any regulatory requirements must be reviewed and confirmed for the particular product and market.
Storage and distribution
Consider temperature, humidity, light, stacking and the route between filling and the end customer.
Filling and sealing
Confirm dimensions, speed, seal conditions and handling against the equipment that will run the pack.
Sample and approval
Where available, assess a sample with the intended product and process before committing to a production run.
Questions buyers often ask
Which material structure should I choose?

What should I send for a useful quotation?
Describe the product, dimensions, shipping loads, preferred board or paper reference and print requirements. Include order quantity, dimensions, artwork and delivery destination when known.
