Manufacturing Materials

Variety has always been at the core of our packaging solutions – starting with the materials that we use. From board to wood, leather to metal, we offer some of the most versatile packaging on the market.

Channeling Variety

After decades of experience, we have team of specialists who have honed their craft to near perfection.

Amongst our ranks we have a team of artisans, master craftsmen, and material engineers who blend sustainability, reliability, and aesthetic focus across a range of designs, utilizing a myriad of substrates.

Paperboard

From complex structural designs to ornate embellishments, specialist inks and finishes, to glittering foils and varnishes – we can create aesthetically inspiring designs.

Rigid Board / Set Top Box

From basic lid and base set top boxes, to intricately wrapped hinged structures that are adorned with stylish trimmings, our innovative nature is brought to life through our material design.

Pulp

Pushing the boundaries of molded pulp keeps us ahead of the game. Our artisanal mastery ensures quality, protection and all decorative capabilities. From emboss and deboss, to printing and foiling – and everything inbetween.

Material / Leather

Like couture to the rails, we have spent decades learning and refining the art of material craftsmanship, spanning countless forms. From natural hides, to embroidered silk, our thirst for exploring untapped styles ensures your packaging will be wholly unique.

Flexible / Rigid Plastic

From complex injection molded and extruded components, to thermoformed fitments and PET folding boxes, there is not a plastic process we have not mastered over the years.

Wood

The oldest material known to man; our relationship with wood is one of reverence. We work with everything from solid, to composite, mahogany to maple, walnut to wengy. Our craftsmen channel artistry and practicality into every wood-based design, creating masterful results, every time.

Tin / Metal

Sturdy, longevous, recyclable, tin and metal are staples of the packaging world. Whether molded, stamped, welded, bent, cast, extruded, the list goes on, metal and tin can form the base of truly incredible packing formats.

Glass

Being virtually impermeable and infinitely recyclable makes glass one of the most stable and sustainable packaging materials on the market. Our work with glass over the years has seen us create some beautiful bespoke designs.
