01How we work
A packaging job passes through six desks before it ships.
Structure first, then graphics, then a sample you can hold. Only after that do we pick a press, book the plant and set the release schedule. These are those six desks, in the order a job meets them.
The six services
- 01 Built to perform Design & Engineering It all starts with a well-designed structure. Great packaging strikes a balance of structural integrity, appearance, and cost — and our engineers explore every creative possibility to get there. Inside design & engineering

Not every job uses all six. A repeat corrugated release skips straight to manufacturing and inventory; a first launch usually starts at 01 and works down.
