Carapace — Engineered Packaging Solutions

Packaging Expertise

OUR SERVICES
Engineered packaging production and automated converting line

From brief to pallet.

Structural design, CAD prototyping, transit testing, printing and just-in-time supply all considered around how your packaging needs to perform from production through delivery.

KEY EXPERTISE

Core Capabilities

Everything between the brief and the pallet — design, print, conversion and supply, handled by one team.

01

Structural Design & Prototyping

Structural Design & Prototyping

Our design studio models the pack around your product in CAD, cuts a physical sample on a digital table, and iterates until it fits — before any tooling is committed.

Free CAD samples:Physical first article before tooling.
Customs-ready:Drop, compression and vibration testing.
Board engineering:Flute, ply and GSM matched to the route.
02

Printing & Finishing

Printing & Finishing

Up to six-colour flexo for shipping cartons and four-colour offset litho lamination for retail packs, finished in-line with lamination, spot UV, embossing and foil.

Water-based inks:The printed pack stays recyclable.
Colour-matched proofs:Signed off before the run starts.
Variable data print:Barcodes, batch codes and QR per unit.
03

Manufacturing & Converting

Manufacturing & Converting

Corrugating, die-cutting, gluing and stitching under one roof, so a specification approved on a sample is the specification that runs at a hundred thousand units.

Batch testing:Bursting strength and ECT, every run.
Coatings & laminates:Moisture, wax and food-grade options.
Assembly-ready supply:Flat-packed, banded and pallet-labelled.
04

Scheduled Supply & Stock Holding

Scheduled Supply & Stock Holding

Scheduled call-offs, plant-held buffer stock and direct-to-line delivery — keeping production moving and supply on schedule.

Call-off contracts:Priced annually, released monthly.
Buffer stock:Held at the plant, not your warehouse.
Own delivery fleet:Flat-packed loads that arrive square.

What Sets Us Apart:

Manufacturer, Not a Reseller

Corrugating, printing, die-cutting and gluing all happen in our own plant.

Two Plants, One Specification

Unit 1 and Unit 2 run the same board grades, ensuring consistency across production and continuity of supply.

One Point of Accountability

One team stays with the requirement from commercial brief through final delivery.

Commercially Considered

Packaging decisions account for material use, production economics and the realities of volume.

Plastic-Free by Default

Paper cushioning, paper tape and water-based inks come as standard, not as an upsell.

Scales From 100 to 100,000

Short digital runs for launches, full flexo runs when the volume arrives.
