How a packaging job runs with us

Six steps, each with something you receive in writing before the next one starts.

How we work

From your process sheet to a pallet on your dock

Six steps, each with something you receive in writing before the next one starts.

01

Tell us what you are filling

Product, fill temperature, process, shelf life, machine and annual volume. Five answers are enough for us to know whether you need a three-layer laminate or a retort structure — and to quote it.

02

Structure proposal and written quote

Within 24 business hours you get the film structure layer by layer, the tooling cost, the minimum order, the lead time and the unit price. Two options when there is a real trade-off between cost and barrier.

03

Prepress, proof and signed colour target

We rebuild the artwork for the substrate, send a contract proof and, on colour-critical brands, a press-side draw-down. Nothing is engraved until you sign it.

04

Print, laminate and convert

Rotogravure or flexo, solventless or solvent lamination, slitting, pouch making, sleeve seaming or cup forming. Every step is logged against the job number so a reprint two years out still matches.

05

Release testing before it ships

Seal strength, bond strength, thickness, colour ΔE against the signed target and a physical retain of every lot. The certificate travels with the pallet.

06

Delivery, retains and the next run

We deliver to your dock in Southern California or to your customs broker for Baja, keep your cylinders and retains on file, and hold release stock so the reorder is a phone call.
