Connect the product and the pack

Tooling and packaging decisions affect one another. Product geometry changes insert design and carton size; decoration affects artwork files and approval steps; the sales channel changes labels and presentation.

Before quotation, provide the product reference, quantity, market, launch date and available artwork. Before production, confirm the approved sample, dieline, print proof, pack-out method and shipping test scope that applies to the order.
