Prototyping happens quickly; That’s one of our specialties. Our digital manufacturing capabilities mean we can turn around prototypes without the lengthy die creation process that traditional methods require. For production timelines, it depends on the complexity of your project, the quantity, and current production schedules. The best approach is to discuss your specific deadline with our team upfront. We’ve built our operation around speed to market, and our in-house capabilities give us more control over timelines than companies that outsource components. 

The more details you share, the more accurate we can be. Ideally, tell us what you’re packaging (dimensions, weight), your quantity needs, any special features you’re envisioning (magnetic closures, custom inserts, foil stamping), and your timeline. If you have reference images or examples of packaging styles you like, that helps too. Even if you’re early in the process and don’t have everything figured out, reach out anyway! Our team can guide you through the options and help narrow down what makes sense for your product and budget. 

We work with industry-standard formats including Adobe Illustrator (AI), PDF, and EPS files. Vector files are preferred for logos and graphics to ensure the highest quality output. For complex projects, our design team can provide you with templates that show exact dimensions, bleed areas, and fold lines. If you’re not sure whether your files will work, send them over. You can also review them against our Art Prep Checklist to ensure your files are set up correctly. 

Digital manufacturing changes the game in a few key ways. First, there are no dies or plates to create, which eliminates both cost and time upfront. Second, you can make last-minute changes without starting over. Third, we can produce exact quantities, whether that’s 50 or 5,000, without the traditional pressure to order more to justify setup costs. Fourth, intricate laser cuts and complex designs that would be difficult or impossible with traditional die cutting become achievable. If you’re testing a new product or personalizing packaging for different retailers, digital gives you flexibility that traditional manufacturing simply can’t match. 

We work across many industries—playing cards and gaming, wine and spirits, healthcare and pharmaceutical, vinyl records, subscription boxes, and more. We also produce sales kits for architecture, flooring, and building materials companies, plus luxury packaging for cosmetics. We don’t prioritize one industry over another when it comes to production schedules. What matters more is project complexity, quantity, and timing. That said, our experience in your industry often means we can anticipate needs and offer solutions that work specifically for your market. 

Yes, sustainability is increasingly important to our clients and to us. We work with recyclable materials, FSC-certified papers, and can help you explore options that reduce environmental impact without compromising quality or protection. The conversation usually starts with understanding your sustainability goals and any certifications you need, then we identify materials and construction methods that align with those objectives. Digital manufacturing also reduces waste compared to traditional methods since we’re not producing dies or running excess quantities “just in case.” 

Our digital manufacturing capabilities mean you’re not paying for die creation or absorbing high setup costs, which makes smaller quantities much more economical than traditional methods. As quantities increase, per-unit costs typically decrease, but you’re never forced to order more than you need just to hit a price break. When we quote your project, we’ll show you pricing at different quantity levels so you can make the decision that works best for your business. The goal is to give you flexibility without penalizing you for ordering what actually makes sense.

Absolutely. Whether you need us to ship your full order to one location, split shipments to multiple distribution centers, or fulfill individual orders directly to your end customers, we can handle it. This is particularly helpful for subscription box companies, retailers with multiple locations, or businesses running promotional campaigns. We coordinate the logistics so you can focus on your business rather than managing shipping and fulfillment. 

Quality control is built into every stage of our process, and issues are rare; but if something does happen, we take care of it. If damage occurs during production, we catch it before it leaves our facility and reproduce what’s needed. If damage happens during shipping, we work with you to resolve it quickly. Our goal is always to deliver exactly what you expected, when you expected it. We’ve been doing this since 1977, and our reputation is built on making things right.
