Product FAQ
Questions to resolve early.
Which structure should I choose?
The choice depends on product weight, opening sequence, packing method and retail requirements. We recommend a structure after reviewing the product dimensions.
Can you add a window?
Yes. Die-cut windows can be added where the structure and product presentation allow it; a film window can be discussed when required.
Do you provide a dieline?
Yes. A production dieline can be developed after the dimensions and structure are confirmed.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send product dimensions, packaging quantity, preferred structure, visual references, target delivery market and timing. Photos or a physical product sample can help clarify fit.
