1. Our CAD department seek to understand the product in its entirety, utilising existing packing processes and timings, existing packaging in terms of construction and material which is examined in the in house paper laboratory, finished product distribution journey, end users expectations, standards and requirements and crucially manufacturing process within CBC for potential new designs.
2. Our CAD team look at existing designs to see if any additional packaging components are used such as plastic trays or air bags, in order to try and offer a single corrugated solution and eliminate any expensive additions.
3. To reduce overall transportation costs, our CAD team look at rationalising size or changing orientation of products within the package in order to optimise pallet fill of packed finished product.
4. Our CAD team examine existing packaging lines to see if potential suggested changes do not reduce productivity rates, and if possible allow for increase in productivity.
5. The final solution or recommended solutions are then supplied for customer approval.

1. The CBC team consider the overall position associated with product criteria, including the manufacturing process, product journey and its final retail environment.
2. Our in-house CAD department quickly recognise the most appropriate design options and produce samples in order to explain their reasoning and to allow customer to test the packaging.
3. Our in-house Graphics department take chosen images, logos or ideas, whether they exist electronically, on a piece of paper, or just the customer’s vision, and use their brand expertise to establish the most effect method of print in order to fully maximise the visual effect of the SRP.
4. Our Graphics department produce electronic proofs, 3D imagery and hard digital proofs for customers to see during product development.
5. The required colours generated by the Graphics team are formulated within the in-house Ink Laboratory and then locked into the spectrophotometer colour matching system so the colour standards are set for all future runs.
6. Printed corrugated packaging is then produced with the colours measured for accuracy throughout the manufactured batch to ensure the highest quality product possible, maximising the strength of visual appeal for the brand consistently throughout the product’s life.

In April 2015 we purchased a second die-cutting machine.

The Bobst VISIONCUT further enhances our productivity and offers high quality flat bed die-cutting for nano/micro flute to double wall corrugated board and litho-laminated material.

With demand for die-cut corrugated products at an all time high right across the globe, having access to quality flat bed die-cutting has never been more important. Our VISIONCUT gives us exactly that.

Our VISIONCUT delivers maximum machine uptime, while its clever workflow design minimises unproductive time and delivers job change-over in less than 10 minutes.
