Different content, same brand architecture, carton by carton.
02 · Digital workflow
→ Speed to market
Approved artwork and version changes are made digitally, without a new plate cycle.
03 · Continuous digital production
→ Flexible, demand-matched production
Different SKUs sequenced in one digital run, each quantity closer to its own demand.
04 · Digital print technology
→ Digital precision
Sharp detail, vibrant color and consistent results across SKUs and variable content.
Optimal board matching
Lighter board. Same protection.
Our global network of trusted mill partners gives us a wide range of board grades to choose from, so we can match each carton with the board that fits it best. Our mill partners include environmental leaders in the paper industry, with science-based climate targets, independently certified forests and products designed to be recycled.
We start from what your product, filling line and supply chain really require, then specify the grade and caliper to match. For many customers, that has meant lighter board with the same rigidity and protection.
01
Lighter board, same protection
We right-size board grade and caliper, then confirm rigidity with caliper, score bend and rub testing.
02
Progress on sustainability goals
Less board per carton means less fiber to source, ship and recycle.
03
Lower cost, in some cases
When a lighter board does the same job, your packaging cost can come down too.
Printing capabilities
Four printing technologies, one partner
We match each job to the process that suits its run length, artwork and finish, instead of forcing every carton onto one press.

Sustainability
Responsibly sourced board. Recyclable cartons.
The board we use comes from certified, responsibly managed forests, supplied by mill partners that are environmental leaders in the paper industry. Every package we make is recyclable, our production waste is recycled, and specifying only the board your product needs cuts material at the source.
