For qualified custom packaging projects, we provide free structural design, dieline support, prototyping guidance, artwork prepress review, and material selection before mass production. Our goal is to help procurement teams, packaging engineers, brand teams, and distributors reduce technical uncertainty before placing a custom box order.
Custom packaging projects often fail because the structure, artwork, material, and production method are checked too late. This page explains how our free services help buyers move from packaging idea to production-ready specification with fewer revisions, clearer costs, and better supplier communication.
Our free services are designed for procurement managers, packaging engineers, sourcing managers, product development teams, brand managers, e-commerce teams, packaging distributors, and print brokers who need accurate custom packaging before production starts.
We support rigid boxes, magnetic closure boxes, lid lift-off boxes, two-piece boxes, drawer boxes, book-style rigid boxes, folding cartons, mailer boxes, paper shopping bags, paper tube boxes, promotional boxes, cosmetic boxes, candle boxes, jewelry boxes, apparel boxes, electronics packaging, gourmet boxes, and other custom paper packaging projects.

A good custom box starts with the correct structure. Our packaging team helps turn your product size, weight, display requirement, and logistics needs into a practical box structure and production-ready dieline.
We can help review or create structural concepts for box style, internal dimensions, opening direction, glue areas, fold lines, insert layout, panel position, and assembly method. The dieline can then be used by your designer to place artwork correctly before proofing and sampling.
You should request structural design support when you are developing a new product box, changing suppliers, upgrading from a simple carton to a rigid box, adding an insert, improving unboxing experience, reducing shipping damage, or preparing a retail-ready packaging program.
Please provide product size, product weight, product photos, target box style, quantity, shipping method, insert requirement, reference packaging images, and any retail display or e-commerce fulfillment requirement. These details help us avoid oversizing, weak structures, and unnecessary material cost.
Sampling helps confirm whether the structure, material, printing, finish, and insert work together before mass production. For B2B buyers, this step is especially important when the packaging will be used for retail launch, seasonal campaigns, premium gift sets, e-commerce fulfillment, or distributor resale.
A white sample is mainly used to check box size, structure, insert fit, opening experience, and product protection. It is useful when the artwork is not finalized but the buyer needs to approve the physical packaging structure first.
A printed sample helps confirm artwork position, brand color direction, logo scale, surface finish, paper texture, and overall presentation. This is useful for brand teams, marketing teams, and procurement teams that need internal approval before production.
For complex packaging projects, a pre-production sample can confirm the final structure, printing, material, insert, finish, and packing method before mass production. This reduces misunderstanding between buyer, designer, supplier, and factory production teams.
Artwork problems can create delays, rework, color inconsistency, misaligned printing, cut-off text, or poor final presentation. Our prepress support helps check whether your artwork is ready for custom packaging production.
We review dieline placement, bleed area, trim lines, safe zones, image resolution, CMYK color setup, font handling, logo position, barcode placement, foil stamping area, embossing or debossing area, spot UV position, coating requirements, and file completeness.
Common issues include missing bleed, artwork placed outside the safe area, low-resolution images, RGB files used for print, missing fonts, unembedded images, incorrect dieline layers, unclear finishing marks, and inconsistent logo placement across multiple SKUs.
For most packaging projects, editable vector files are preferred. Buyers can usually send AI, PDF, EPS, or packaged design files. If only product images or reference packaging photos are available, we can still review the project and advise what is needed.
Material selection affects cost, strength, print quality, sustainability, shipping performance, and customer experience. Our team helps buyers compare suitable materials based on product weight, packaging style, target price, finishing method, and destination market.
For rigid boxes, common material choices include greyboard, coated paper, specialty paper, kraft paper, textured paper, and wrapped paper options. We help match the board thickness and outer paper to the box size, product weight, and brand positioning.
For folding cartons, material selection usually depends on print quality, folding strength, product weight, shelf display, and cost target. Options may include SBS paperboard, kraft paperboard, recycled paperboard, or coated paperboard depending on the project.
For retail displays, and e-commerce packaging, corrugated board selection depends on flute type, compression strength, shipping distance, product fragility, print method. We help buyers choose between lightweight presentation and stronger transit protection.
Insert options may include paperboard inserts, corrugated inserts, EVA foam, molded pulp, PET trays, fabric-covered inserts, or custom divider systems. The right insert depends on product shape, protection requirement, display goal, and budget.
For sustainability requirements, we can discuss FSC paper, recycled paperboard, kraft paper, plastic-reduced structures, recyclable concepts, and material-efficient designs. Final claims should be confirmed based on the material, certificate availability, documentation.
Send us your packaging brief, and our team will review the project step by step — from structure and material selection to dieline support, sample direction, quotation, and production planning.
