We have often said that in packaging, there is no one size fits all solution. We pride ourselves on offering a variety of packaging products, as well as experienced team members who can help guide you to the right solutions for your products. However, there are times when the right solution may be in fact be several different solutions. Instead of one packaging product for all of your needs, a variety of packaging components all under one roof is why we refer to ourselves as a custom packaging ONE STOP SHOP. Rather than waiting on various companies scattered across the country (or globe!) to produce and ship each component, we can supply you with all of your needs, essentially under one roof.
When Fruitstand LLC reached out to us a few months ago, they asked for a custom packaging solution to fit a variety of apparel products ranging from small and large hats, to t-shirts and hoodies. We understood the ask, and given quantity needs, graphic design complexities, and other variables, we produced three distinct packaging products, as detailed below.
Custom RSC Boxes
With a very clean, 1 color black on kraft look, this solution was ideal for a variety of products ranging in different sizes and/or weights. RSCs can accommodate many products, and because there are no tooling costs involved, they can be right-sized to your ideal measurements. Adding print to an RSC will not increase a per unit cost by more than a few percentage points in most cases, and print plates are a one-time cost that can be extremely affordable.
Custom Printed Tape
This can really be a subset category of the above, because custom printed tape is most often used as a seal/closure for 4 flap folding RSC boxes. It can also be used to seal die cut mailers or mailer envelopes as a perfect alternative to printing direct onto the box/envelope, or complimentary piece to an existing printed design. Printed tape is eco-friendly and can be recycled along with the box or envelope it is applied to. As you can see from the below photos, our digital print capabilities allows us to do a bold, bright, beautiful design on either kraft or white tape for an eye-catching result.
Paper Mailer Envelopes
An ideal packaging product-particularly as a low cost, low minimum solution for most apparel and soft goods applications. These are a great alternative to bulky boxes when the product may be flat, small or flexible, taking up minimal storage space and limiting shipping costs. Our minimum has always been 1 case for printed paper envelopes, and this remains true even for digital printing like the below designs. This is still a relatively new capability, and we are really eager to work with your graphic designer to see what they can come up with.
