Custom Cardboard Packaging
We design and manufacture made-to-order cardboard packaging solutions tailored to product dimensions and brand requirements. Our process combines advanced die-cutting technology with structural engineering to create durable, visually striking packaging that protects goods during transit while enhancing brand recognition. Solutions include transit boxes, shelf-ready packaging, and custom die-cut designs that reduce material waste and improve unboxing experiences for end consumers.
Peel and Seal Boxes
Our peel-and-seal cardboard boxes eliminate the need for plastic tape with integrated adhesive strips. Designed for e-commerce and retail sectors, these lightweight yet robust boxes offer tamper-evident security and easy assembly. Available in FEFCO 0427 (pizza box) style or custom configurations, they ship flat-packed to reduce storage space and transportation emissions while maintaining product integrity during delivery.
POS Display Units
We create eye-catching cardboard point-of-sale displays that drive impulse purchases in retail environments. Our FSDUs (Free Standing Display Units), CDUs (Counter Display Units), and interactive standees are engineered for maximum visibility and durability. Using sustainable materials, we produce displays that align with brand aesthetics while optimising shelf presence and facilitating quick restocking for retailers.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Our environmentally conscious packaging uses 100% recyclable corrugated cardboard and FSC-certified materials. We help brands reduce carbon footprints through lightweight designs that lower shipping costs and biodegradable alternatives to plastic components. From material sourcing to production processes, we implement circular economy principles to support clients' sustainability goals without compromising structural integrity or visual appeal.
Cardboard Produce Trays
We engineer ventilated cardboard trays specifically for transporting and displaying fresh produce. Standard 60x40cm and 40x30cm sizes feature moisture-control cutouts and reinforced structures to protect delicate items. Stackable, flat-packed designs reduce storage requirements while ergonomic grips facilitate handling. Optional TECO automated tray-erector integration streamlines high-volume packing operations for agricultural and retail clients.
