Ideal for emerging brands as well as Fortune 500 companies across food and beverage, consumer electronics, health, beauty, nutraceutical and medical sectors, trading cards and more, the service can streamline the design and production of folding cartons for material use efficiency, while minimizing waste, transportation and associated costs.

They also provide guidance on right sizing, minimizing paperboard, swapping mixed material components with recyclable ones, and selecting the right treatments, coatings, inks and manufacturing process to achieve packaging that not only engages consumers, but helps brands reach their sustainability goals.
