Packaging and boxes

Corrugated boxes are a business necessity, but the right board grade and flute drastically change strength, weight and cost.

How the process works

Every order follows the same simple path from brief to delivery:

  • Share the product dimensions, quantity and shelf or shipping needs.
  • We recommend box styles, materials and print finishes.
  • Approve dielines, artwork and a sample box.
  • Production, folding and delivery across the UAE.

Buying tips

A few practical points before you place the order:

  • Match flute to product weight - heavy goods need double wall.
  • Right-size your carton - void fill wastes money and space.
  • Single-colour or simple printing keeps costs low.
  • Trial-drop tests confirm the carton grade for fragile stock.
