Custom packaging + hang tags.

Folding cartons, printed mailers, sleeves, and hang tags, built to fit the product and printed to match everything else you carry.

Standard production

A folding carton, an open corrugated mailer, a product sleeve, and die cut hang tags on strings

It has to fit before it can look good

Packaging starts with the product, not the artwork. Bring us the thing itself or its measurements and we will work out the box that holds it without rattling.

A dieline you do not have to draw

If you already have a dieline we will print to it. If you do not, we will build one and show you a flat proof before anything gets cut.

The inside counts

A mailer printed on the inside costs a little more and changes the whole moment somebody opens it. Worth asking about.

One look across the whole set

Carton, hang tag, seal sticker, tissue, and the card that goes in the box can all come from one place and actually match.

TimelinePackaging takes longer than flat print because it gets die cut and glued. Give us your date and we will tell you straight.

Packaging is the last thing a customer touches and the first thing they judge. We handle the boxes, mailers, sleeves, and tags that go around what you make, starting from the product itself so the fit is right before the artwork ever goes on. Send us the item, or its measurements, and we will come back with the style and the quantity that make sense.

Good to know

Do I need a dieline, or can you make one?
Either way works. Send yours and we will print to it. If you do not have one, we will build the dieline around your product and send you a flat proof to approve before anything is cut.
What is the smallest order?
It depends on the style. Hang tags and sleeves run comfortably in the low hundreds. Die cut cartons and printed mailers want more volume before the setup makes sense, so send us the quantity you are thinking and we will tell you where the price gets reasonable.
Can you print the inside of a box?
Yes. Inside print is a real option on mailers and cartons, and it is the difference between a shipping box and an unboxing.
Can I get kraft instead of white?
Yes. Natural kraft, white coated board, and heavy uncoated all print well. They each take ink differently, so ask for a sample if the color has to be exact.
How long does it take?
Longer than flat print. Cutting, scoring, and gluing all add time on top of the printing. Tell us the date you need it in hand and we will be honest about whether it fits.

The range

Packaging is a family of pieces more than a single product. Here is most of what people ask for.
