Case Studies
Packaging projects, end to end
Every project below follows the same path: brief, structure, sampling, production, delivery. No client names, no inflated claims — just what was built, how it was built, and how it landed.
Rigid gift set box for a cosmetics launch
Client: A US cosmetics brand
Challenge: Launch a three-product skincare collection in one gift-ready set, with an unboxing that felt premium enough for the price point and inserts that held glass bottles securely.
Solution: A two-piece rigid box with a custom paperboard insert, die-cut to each bottle's dimensions, wrapped in soft-touch art paper with a foil-stamped logo.
| Material | 1200gsm greyboard wrapped in 157gsm art paper, paperboard insert |
|---|---|
| Printing | CMYK + Pantone brand color |
| Finishing | Soft-touch lamination, gold foil stamping |
| Quantity | 5,000 units |
Result: Sampling approved in two rounds; delivered 30 days after artwork sign-off, in time for the holiday launch window.
Drawer box for a jewelry collection
Client: A UK jewelry brand
Challenge: Replace a generic supplier box with packaging customers would keep — something that protected delicate pieces and carried the brand quietly, inside and out.
Solution: A rigid drawer box with a ribbon pull and a soft-touch tray divided into ring rolls and necklace compartments, with the logo foil-stamped inside the lid.
| Material | 1200gsm greyboard, specialty paper wrap, paper-based tray |
|---|---|
| Printing | CMYK |
| Finishing | Soft-touch lamination, gold foil logo, grosgrain ribbon pull |
| Quantity | 3,000 units |
Result: Delivered in 25 days; the brand now uses the same structure across its full collection.
Branded mailer box for an Amazon seller
Client: A US Amazon seller
Challenge: Plain brown shippers were generating damage complaints and doing nothing for the brand. The seller needed a tougher, branded mailer that packed flat and shipped straight to FBA.
Solution: A self-locking E-flute corrugated mailer, printed inside and out, sized to the product to cut dimensional weight — shipped flat-packed direct to the fulfillment center.
| Material | E-flute corrugated cardboard |
|---|---|
| Printing | CMYK, inside and outside |
| Finishing | Self-locking die-cut, no tape required |
| Quantity | 10,000 units |
Result: Flat-packed to cut inbound freight; delivered in 22 days with FBA-compliant carton labeling.
Food-grade box and bag set for a coffee brand
Client: A specialty coffee brand
Challenge: One brand, two touchpoints: a retail shelf box for whole-bean bags and a matching takeaway bag for the cafe — consistent design, food-safe materials, sharp print on kraft.
Solution: A food-grade folding carton for retail and a twisted-handle kraft paper bag for takeaway, sharing one artwork system with the brand's roast colors.
| Material | Food-grade folding carton; kraft paper bag with twisted handles |
|---|---|
| Printing | CMYK |
| Finishing | Matte water-based coating |
| Quantity | 8,000 boxes + 8,000 bags |
Result: Delivered in 28 days with material compliance documentation included.
Magnetic gift box with foil for a luxury gift brand
Client: A European gift brand
Challenge: A premium gift line needed packaging with real shelf presence — deep color, crisp foil work and a closure that felt substantial in the hand.
Solution: A magnetic-closure rigid box in deep navy art paper, with an embossed monogram under gold foil and a fitted inner tray for the gift set.
| Material | 1400gsm greyboard wrapped in specialty art paper, paperboard tray |
|---|---|
| Printing | CMYK + Pantone |
| Finishing | Gold foil stamping, blind embossing, magnetic closure |
| Quantity | 2,000 units |
Result: Sampling approved in two rounds; delivered in 32 days.
