The Complexity of Custom Packaging Quotations: Behind the Scenes
Unlike standard products, custom packaging requires a detailed assessment. For this reason, it’s important to conduct a thorough evaluation. Additionally, this process involves considering various factors that can impact the final design. Ultimately, such careful assessment ensures that the packaging effectively meets the specific needs of the product. Thus, taking the time for this analysis can lead to better outcomes. Our dedicated sales and estimation team evaluates several key aspects:
Material Specification & Sourcing:
- Substrate Choice: The type of material—such as corrugated cardboard, folding carton board, kraft paper, or sustainable options like FSC-certified paper—significantly influences costs and properties. Moreover, selecting the right material can lead to better durability and performance. Consequently, understanding these differences is essential for making informed decisions.
- Thickness/Grammage: The material’s thickness or GSM (grams per square meter) affects durability and feel.
- Coatings & Liners: Specific coatings or liners in corrugated structures must be considered based on functional requirements.
- Sustainability Goals: If eco-friendly materials or processes are desired, we explore options that align with your environmental objectives.
Structural Design & Engineering:
- Dimensions & Style: The exact dimensions and box style (like RSC, mailer box, or rigid setup box) influence material use and manufacturing complexity.
- Prototyping & Dieline Creation: For unique designs, our team may create or adjust dielines, and prototypes might be discussed.
- Product Weight & Protection: The nature and weight of your product affect the necessary structural integrity.
Printing & Artwork Requirements:
- Printing Method: Choosing between methods like offset lithography, flexography, digital printing, or screen printing impacts cost and setup time.
- Color Complexity: The number of colors used affects printing plate costs and machine run time.
- Artwork Preparation: We evaluate the readiness of your artwork and factor in any necessary adjustments or color matching.
Finishing & Special Processes:
- Surface Finishes: Options like lamination, varnishing, or anti-scratch finishes enhance aesthetics.
- Embellishments: Techniques such as foil stamping, embossing, or die-cutting add premium appeal and involve specialized processes.
- Assembly & Fulfillment: If manual assembly or component insertion is required, we estimate those needs carefully.
Quantity & Order Volume:
- Economies of Scale: Larger orders usually result in a lower unit cost.
- Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs): Some materials or processes may have MOQs impacting cost-effectiveness.
Logistics & Shipping:
- Packaging of Packaging: How the finished product is packed and shipped is considered in our calculations.
