Products

Paper bags, paper boxes & carton boxes

01

Paper Bags 纸袋

Paper carrier bags — twist-handle, rope-handle and boutique carriers, printed litho and finished for the shop floor. From luxury retail carriers to corporate carrier bags.

Services

Printing, cutting, laminating, finishing

The five processes behind everything above — run in-house on the Johor floor, so one accountable line carries a job from printed sheet to finished, glued box.

04

Printing

Packaging print on the six-colour Mitsubishi 1E143D offset press — Pantone-matched, held to X-Rite measurement, on gloss, matte, recycled and specialty stocks through to full packaging board.

Die-Cutting

Steel-rule dies and creasing matrices cut printed sheets to shape on Bobst and Tsair Shuenn flatbeds — folding cartons, rigid boxes and specialty forms, in stock up to 500gsm.

06

Foil & Lamination

Film lamination in gloss or matt — 38 to 254 microns, widths to 830mm, moisture-resistant and suited to food packaging — plus metallic gold and silver foil finishes for flexible packaging and point-of-purchase work.

07

Board-to-Board Lamination

Two or more plies of board — mixed GSM, thickness or material — bonded into one stiffer, moisture-resistant sheet. The construction underneath rigid boxes and heavy-duty packaging.

08

Folding & Gluing

Four folder-gluing lines fold and seam die-cut blanks into finished cartons — glue laid straight and square, so every box erects true on the packing line.
