About Us

Our company began as a collaboration between designers, materials scientists and local logistics operators determined to make high-quality packaging accessible to small enterprises. We recognized that many small brands struggle to source truly sustainable packaging at reasonable minimums and without long overseas lead times. To solve that, we developed flexible small-batch production lines that use recycled and rapidly renewable feedstocks, combined with low-impact coatings that preserve product shelf-life while remaining industrially compostable or easily recyclable.

We support clients from initial consult to production: material selection, structural design that reduces material use, print proofs with eco-friendly inks, and a simple returns strategy for offcuts. Our local footprint reduces transportation emissions and speeds deliveries for urgent restocks. We prioritize transparency — each run includes clear documentation of recycled content and end-of-life instructions adapted to local waste infrastructure. Our team conducts periodic workshops to help artisans and small producers rethink packaging as a brand and environmental opportunity.

Local Small-Batch Manufacturing with Quality Control

Our small-batch production system is built to serve enterprises that need consistent, high-quality packaging runs without giant minimums. Rather than forcing brands to order tens of thousands of units overseas, we operate modular presses, finishing stations and inspection workflows that keep tolerances tight and quality consistent for runs as small as a few hundred units. Each batch receives in-line monitoring for print alignment, adhesive performance and material consistency; defective units are identified and removed, with corrective adjustments applied mid-run. This approach yields the reliability of larger manufacturers but the flexibility of local craft production. We can iterate prototypes quickly, offering rapid turnaround for seasonal collections and limited-edition releases, while maintaining documentation for traceability and customer assurance. By controlling the full local process from substrate to finishing, we reduce lead times and provide predictable delivery windows even during busy seasons.

Material Expertise for Real Circularity

We partner with material innovators to source recycled papers, rapidly renewable fibers and compostable coatings that meet real-world handling expectations. Our in-house material team evaluates trade-offs between stiffness, printability and post-use disposal to recommend pack designs that minimize landfill impact while preserving product protection. For example, we specify fiber blends that achieve required burst strength with reduced grammage, and we choose barrier coatings that allow for recyclability or industrial composting rather than mixed-plastic lamination. Each client receives a material dossier explaining recyclability pathways and suggested disposal instructions. We also offer a take-back guidance program for larger clients who want to collect and consolidate used packaging for regional industrial composters. By focusing on real circular outcomes rather than greenwashed labels, we help businesses make packaging decisions that are environmentally meaningful and economically viable.

Design-Led Packaging That Sells and Saves

Our design team treats packaging as both protection and marketing. We craft structural solutions that reduce material while maintaining presentation: smarter folds, integrated product-view windows using compostable films, and inserts that secure items without excess bulk. Visual design emphasizes brand positioning with restrained, modern layouts and eco-conscious finishes that avoid heavy varnishes and plastic foils. We also help clients choose inks, typography and label placement to ensure legibility and recyclability instructions remain intact through use. Designs are tested with prototypes for fit and transit resilience to prevent returns due to damaged goods. The result is packaging that increases perceived value on shelves and e-commerce photos while using less material, which reduces both cost and environmental impact.

Transparent Pricing and Accessible Minimums

Pricing is presented clearly with breakdowns for material, printing complexity, finishing and freight so clients can make informed decisions. We maintain accessible order thresholds that enable new businesses to test products without large upfront inventory risk. Volume discounts scale logically and are applied directly at production milestones to reward predictable repeat orders. Our quotes include options for off-the-shelf eco substrates for cost-sensitive projects and upgraded custom materials for premium brand experiences. We also provide guidance on inventory planning to optimize storage and reorder frequency, which helps reduce tied-up capital. Financing routes for longer-term partnerships and subscription-style replenishment plans are available to smooth cashflow for growing brands.

Regulatory & Labelling Support for Multiple Markets

Packaging must comply with labeling rules and materials regulations in different jurisdictions. We provide compliance support including ingredient declarations, recyclability statements, and barcode integration for local distributors. Our team helps clients prepare documentation for regulatory audits and create labels that are understandable to consumers and waste-sorting facilities. For products in regulated categories, we coordinate with certifiers and recommend labeling language that avoids ambiguity. This reduces the risk of returned shipments and regulatory denial, especially for brands exploring export markets. Clear labeling also helps end-users dispose of packaging correctly, increasing the effective recycling rate of the materials used.

End-to-End Support: From Prototype to Repeatable Runs

From the initial proof and dieline to the finishing touches and logistics, we manage the full production lifecycle. Prototyping services allow clients to handle physical samples before committing to production so designers can confirm fit, finish and presentation. Once approved, our scheduling, procurement and manufacturing teams synchronize to hit deadlines and manage inventory. For repeat clients, we provide re-order portals and batch documentation to make replenishment simple and predictable. We also run quality reviews post-production to capture process improvements for future runs. This end-to-end model reduces friction and enables brands to scale packaging operations without needing deep manufacturing expertise in-house.

Custom Box & Sleeve Production

We craft custom boxes, sleeves and mailers tailored to product dimensions and brand identity. Services include structural engineering to minimize material, print setup for low-VOC inks, finishing choices that avoid plastic lamination, and options for compostable windows where needed. For food and cosmetic brands we specify barrier papers and certified inks compatible with safety requirements. Production includes prototype proofs and test shipments so clients can confirm fit, labeling and unboxing experience. Small minimums and a variety of substrate choices make it possible to run seasonal or limited-edition packaging with the same quality controls as larger runs. We also provide dieline and packaging CAD exports so client designers can integrate packaging visuals into e-commerce assets and marketing campaigns.

Eco Print & Brand Artwork Prep

Artwork preparation is an essential step to preserve print fidelity while protecting recyclability. Our prepress team optimizes color separations for water-based inks, flattens complex vector elements, and prepares spot-color workflows that minimize print passes. We provide proofs and color checks, and compatibility checks for varnishes or aqueous coatings that remain compost-friendly. We advise on typography sizes for readability and legal labeling, barcode placement, and fold-aligned graphics to avoid misregistered prints after folding. For brands that need packaging photography-ready on day one, we ensure print finishes photograph well for product pages and social content while maintaining low-impact materials.

Rapid Prototyping and Short Runs

Rapid prototyping allows concept validation without long lead times. We produce physical mockups of box concepts for size-fitting and presentation testing, enabling teams to see and feel materials before committing. Short-run production supports pop-ups, seasonal launches and crowdfunding rewards with quick turnarounds and approachable minimums. Our scheduling adapts to urgent demand windows and coordinated shipping options to meet market activation dates. After prototype sign-off, short runs can be transitioned into repeatable production with minimal retooling, preserving visual alignment and structural integrity across future batches.

Consulting for Circular Packaging Strategies

We offer consulting for brands that want to implement or expand circular packaging initiatives. Consulting covers material flows, post-consumer collection strategies, and design-for-reuse models. We analyze supply chain stages to identify emissions hot spots, recommend material substitutions with life-cycle considerations, and draft consumer-facing instructions to improve end-of-life sorting. For clients planning take-back programs or reusable packaging, we advise on deposit flows, logistics and durability testing, ensuring business models are operationally feasible and financially sensible.

Inventory & Fulfillment Integration

Packaging logistics are integrated with common fulfillment systems so boxes are available when products are ready to ship. We coordinate with local fulfillment partners for pick-and-pack compatibility, kite-mark dimensions for automated packing lines, and label templates for thermal printers. For brands using subscription services, we can schedule recurring replenishment runs and deliver directly to warehouses or fulfillment centers. This integration reduces handling, preserves packaging condition, and simplifies restocking for operations teams that want reliability without manual reorder friction.

Training & Workshops for Sustainable Packaging

We run workshops for brand teams, covering sustainable material selection, minimal waste structural design, and labeling for circularity. Sessions include hands-on design exercises, material handling demonstrations, and waste-audit templates brands can use to measure the impact of packaging changes. Training helps teams adopt internal packaging standards and reduce excess. It also empowers small business owners to make decisions about product protection, shelf presence and environmental claims that are credible and defensible. Workshops are available remote or in-person and tailored for teams of all sizes.
