01
Design and sampling
Structure, dieline and a sample for your approval — before plates and print. We cut structure samples so you can check fit, opening and insert layout with the real product.
Equipment & production process
How a sheet of paper becomes packaging
From design and sampling to Heidelberg printing, finishing, die-cutting, assembly, coding and delivery — all seven steps run in our Huangjiang, Dongguan plant. Each step below shows the machines that run it.

How sampling works
02
Plate-making and printing
Brand colours, fine type and register start here. We print on Heidelberg sheet-fed offset presses — the foundation for cartons, wraps and leaflets that the rest of the line finishes.
Heidelberg at the core
Offset printing sits at the centre of the line. Pharma text accuracy, 3C brand colour and cosmetic wrap quality all start on these presses before post-press work begins.
03
Surface finishing
Gloss or matte lamination, varnish, spot UV and hot-foil stamping — chosen for look, touch and protection, then sequenced so later die-cutting and gluing stay clean.
Film lamination
Gloss or matte film for protection and hand-feel.

Spot UV
Selective gloss on logos and key graphics.

Hot-foil stamping
Metallic or coloured foil for logos and accents.

Varnish / coating line
Surface coating before further finishing.

Die-cutting and gluing
Printed sheets become foldable blanks on automatic die-cutters, then high-speed folder-gluers fold and glue seams into finished cartons. Mounting is added when the structure needs extra board.
05
Gift-box assembly
Rigid lid-and-base boxes take a different path: wraps are printed and mounted, then formed and assembled in the gift-box workshop with inserts checked before packing.
06
Coding and inspection
Variable-data coding prints batch or serial content where required. Automatic print inspection compares sheets with the approved file so defects are caught before boxes leave the floor.
07
Delivery
Finished cartons and gift boxes are counted, packed and prepared for shipment to your schedule. Outer carton marks and packing method are confirmed per order.
What we need from you to start
- Product dimensions or samples
- Box type, or the problem the box needs to solve
- Finishes you have in mind
- Estimated quantity and target date
- Artwork or dieline, if ready
All machines
Every machine on this page, with a photo of it running in our factory.
Heidelberg CD 102 offset press
Our Heidelberg CD 102 is a sheet-fed offset press. It prints the cartons, wraps and leaflets that the rest of the factory finishes.
UV processing machine
The UV machine applies and cures UV coating on printed sheets. It is used for spot UV, where only selected areas get a glossy layer.
Variable-data coding machine
The coding machine prints information that changes from batch to batch, such as batch numbers, onto otherwise identical cartons and leaflets.
Automatic print inspection machine
The inspection machine scans printed sheets and compares them with the approved file, so defects are caught before boxes are packed.
Automatic folder-gluer
The automatic high-speed folder-gluer folds die-cut blanks and glues the seams, turning flat sheets into finished cartons.
Automatic mounting machine
The automatic mounting machine laminates printed sheets onto board. It is used for rigid boxes and thicker packaging.
Mounting comes after printing and finishing, and before die-cutting or rigid-box forming.
Film laminating machine
The laminating machine applies gloss or matte film to printed sheets. The film protects the print and changes how it looks and feels.
Automatic die-cutting machines
We run two automatic die-cutters. They cut and crease printed sheets into box blanks.
Hot-foil stamping
Hot-foil stamping is done in our factory. Heat and pressure transfer a metallic or coloured foil onto the printed sheet.
Foil is often used for logos and lines. Read hot-foil stamping and tips for foil artwork.
Gift-box workshop
Rigid lid-and-base boxes are formed and assembled in our gift-box workshop. Wraps are printed on our presses and mounted before they arrive here.
Inserts are placed and boxes are checked here before packing.
Heidelberg XL press
We print on Heidelberg offset presses, including a Heidelberg XL press, in our Dongguan factory.
Rigid box forming
Rigid lid-and-base boxes are formed in our factory. Forming is part of gift-box assembly, the fifth of our seven steps.
Same story, process view
The Production process page tells the same seven-step story from the buyer side: what we need from you and how sampling works.
