On the press: hot foil on a navy rigid lid. Finishing is specified with the structure, not added afterwards, so foil, emboss and coating register to the print they sit on.

How we work

Six stages. One accountable partner. Each stage ends with something you sign off.

Quality management

Defined before production. Checked throughout.

Every check is agreed with you and the factory before an order is placed, so inspection confirms a plan rather than discovering one. AQL sampling is applied where agreed.
