Production Overview & QC

If you have just launched your start-up company or are creating a brand-new product line for your well-established business, you are undoubtedly too busy to do everything that needs doing. An assistant would be great, but would your new assistant have the experience and knowledge to handle the details of your packaging requirements? Would they have the time to be on press when your new packaging is run?  

Unless you have a tremendous, experienced staff, which most companies do not, you will likely have to trust someone else to make sure your packaging meets your esthetic, quality, and structural standards. We would very much like to be that company you trust to look out for your best interest and be your eyes and ears at the production line.

Quality Production, Produces Quality Packaging

For us, quality begins at the initial contact with our customer/clients. We tend to ask a lot of questions because the better we understand your expectations, the more likely we are to deliver the results you want. Most of the questions we ask are about you, your products and even your customers. What is your vision and what type of impression do you want to make to your customers. Our slogan is “packaging that communicates” so what do you want your packaging to say about you?    

What we look for in production

There are many different potential problems when running any type of packaging, especially on the first run. These include:

  • Color accuracy – the objective is a perfect match to your PMS color from the very first box to the final box produced. If this is a second or later run, we also make sure the colors match the previous run. Color consistency is part of your brand.

 

  • Placement of copy – for example, logo placement can enhance or ruin the first impression.

 

  • Squareness and clean – if it is a glued box like an RSC or specialty closure, glue joints must be solid and clean, without excess glue.

 

  • Quality and accuracy of scores – no one notices or cares about scores unless they are made incorrectly. Precise scores result in neat folds and closure.

 

We attend press checks, so you don’t have to

If possible, and depending on the complexity of the design, we make sure one of our experienced people is present at start up, especially on every first run. Our presence sends an unmistakenly clear message to plant people. They know we insist, demand and require the best quality packaging for our e-commerce customers and clients.
