Explore lift-off, drawer and shoulder structures around product support, removal and the opening experience. Agree dimensions, inserts and surface references before approving production.
Quotation follows a specification review. Sample scope and fees are agreed separately.

QUANTITY, SAMPLE & DELIVERY
Plan the order around your product.
A starting brief for your quotation
Quantity
Share pieces per size and artwork. The feasible quantity is confirmed against the structure and finish.
Samples
Choose material, structural or printed sample review. Availability, fees, revisions and sample shipping need agreement.
Production
Scheduling follows the approved specification and commercial terms. Confirm the production window for the actual order.
Delivery
Confirm packing, destination and required arrival. Production time excludes transport; freight and destination responsibilities need separate agreement.
Shortlist up to three illustrative directions to compare in your brief, or skip this step. A shortlist is a set of ideas, not your final box specification.
STRUCTURE STUDY / RIGID
ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT
01 / LIFT-OFF LID
The lift-off presentation
A separate lid and base with a controlled reveal.
Explore it for
Products that benefit from clear top access and a deliberate opening.
Evaluate before deciding
Agree lid depth, opening clearance and removal without marking the product.
ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT
02 / SLIDING DRAWER
The sliding presentation
A sleeve and tray structure with an intentional sliding reveal.
Explore it for
Products or sets presented in a defined sequence.
Evaluate before deciding
Validate tray travel, retention and access with the actual product weight.
ILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPT
03 / SHOULDER LID
The shoulder presentation
A layered rigid structure with a visible or concealed inner shoulder.
Explore it for
Projects that call for an additional layer in the opening experience.
Evaluate before deciding
Review shoulder height, lid seating and surface alignment on a physical sample.
One product description is enough to begin. Leave the structure open and we will review a suitable direction with you.
Final dimensions, materials and performance need a specification and sample review.

Best starting point
Products that benefit from clear top access and a deliberate opening.
Products or sets presented in a defined sequence.
Projects that call for an additional layer in the opening experience.
Insert review
Review support at the base and around the product profile.
Keep the product supported while the tray is moving.
Define how the insert relates to the inner shoulder and product.
Finish direction
Align wrap, print and finish across separate lid and base.
Review sleeve and tray registration at the closed position.
Agree which surfaces remain visible when opened and closed.
Packing
Evaluate the closed box and the master-carton arrangement.
Check that the tray remains controlled in the agreed packing system.
Measure the finished structure with the full protective packing.
Key trade-off
Agree lid depth, opening clearance and removal without marking the product.
Validate tray travel, retention and access with the actual product weight.
Review shoulder height, lid seating and surface alignment on a physical sample.
THE MATERIAL & FINISH BRIEF
Materials & print finishes
Explore the surface and print effects you want. We will check the combination against your chosen structure and sample.
Board, paper & surface
Define the rigid structure, board thickness and wrapping paper together. A surface reference helps explain texture and colour; the actual combination needs a sample review.
Discuss printed areas, colour references and the intended finish, such as foil or an embossed detail. Mark each finish on the artwork and confirm its compatibility with the selected paper before approval.
List the product dimensions, weight and contact-sensitive surfaces. Decide how it is held and removed, and review the box and insert as one fitted sample.
Start with structure, lid or tray fit and the insert around the actual product. Then see the relevant work, manufacturing route and order steps.
01 / RELEVANT WORK
Have we documented similar work?
No approved public project record is available for this packaging direction yet. Ask what comparable sample or project information can be shared for your brief.
No approved production record specific to this packaging direction is published yet. Review the factory scope and ask which route applies to your order.
Agree the sample version, materials, artwork, finish and product-fit checks. Record which differences remain between a development sample and production.
Record to agree
Versioned sample scope, approval record and production specification.
Work back from the required receiving date. Confirm approval dependencies, dispatch assumptions, freight scope and destination responsibilities before committing.
Record to agree
Approval milestones, dispatch plan, shipping exclusions and receiving requirements.
Keep the order reference, affected quantities, carton labels and photographs. Agree containment, investigation and the proposed disposition against the order specification.
Record to agree
Issue record, supporting evidence, agreed corrective action and reinspection where applicable.
Identify whether each measurement describes the product, usable inner space or the outside of the box. Include units, product weight and any protruding parts.
Plan support and removal together.
Define product contact areas and the intended removal method. Trial the insert with the actual product; a snug appearance alone does not establish protection.
Separate appearance from transport approval.
A presentation sample can approve structure and finish. The complete packing system still needs its own review for the intended transport conditions.
YOUR PROJECT / FOUR USEFUL QUESTIONS
Turn the choices into a conversation.
No exact specification yet? Choose what you know. The next page lets you edit these notes and add a reference file.
These are your preferences, not an automated specification or a feasibility approval.
Start with product geometry, weight, access and the opening experience. These reference structures need fit and sample review before a recommendation can be confirmed.
Can you work from an existing box?
Yes. Share the dimensions, a reference image and what should change. A photo does not establish the full material or construction specification.
Are inserts included?
Insert scope, material and price need to be stated explicitly in the quotation. Do not assume an outer-box price includes an insert.
What should I approve before production?
Agree the specification, artwork version, physical sample reference, packing plan and outstanding changes. Approval of a visual concept alone is insufficient.
