Corrugated Packaging
The corrugated industry has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, leading to a market flooded with corrugated manufacturers.
This means that selecting the best supplier for your specific need is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. The process will be time consuming. It will require in-depth knowledge of printing, design (but for the structure and for the graphics), and production.
These projects run a significant risk of failure if something is not properly communicated.
If you do not have an established and successful relationships with a corrugated supplier, or an experienced buyer on your team, we can support your business with the design and purchasing process.
Corrugated projects include extensive details and aspects to be considered. We’ll ensure that all of these factors are addressed for you.
Corrugated Project Components
Corrugated projects are complex. Our team will work with you to evaluate corrugated suppliers thoroughly, including:
- Policies and customer service levels
- Technical support availability
- Prototype availability
- Printing capabilities
- Finishing capabilities
- Proximity to your destination
- Production turn around times
Prototype Development
Prototypes are often needed in a bit of a hurry. They are frequently critical to new product roll outs, public appearances at an event or show or possibly on television (such as the TV show Shark Tank), market testing, or meeting with an existing or prospective retailer.
It’s the combination of these elements that makes the production of prototypes such a tricky endeavor. Much of the work has been hurriedly done by the time the project gets to us – with that comes greater risk. The good news is that we have enough experience and skill in this area to anticipate the potential pitfalls and work to deliver an impressive product on time.
The Candid Truth About Prototype Development
In addition to the challenges mentioned about, another important aspect to consider for your prototype project is this:
Your project – for one reason or another – may not by itself be an attractive opportunity for print shops who might actually be perfect some day for your work. And this matters quite a lot to the development process of your prototype.
By working through us we can help deliver the bigger picture so as to keep the shops engaged and help them to understand the broader relevance of participating in the quote process for your project.
