About this blog
How often do you publish?
When we have something specific to say. These are working notes on packaging decisions rather than a content schedule, so the archive grows slowly and stays useful.
Is this advice specific to perfume packaging?
Yes. The clearance figures, insert tolerances, oil barrier requirements and dangerous-goods notes all reflect fragrance work rather than general carton printing.
Where should I start if I am new to this?
The reference guides rather than the blog. They cover sizing, board, finishes, artwork setup and lead times in a deliberate order; the blog goes deeper on individual decisions.
Who writes these articles?
The people who quote and specify the boxes. Each post comes from a decision that keeps coming up in quote requests, such as insert tolerance or whether to laminate, and it is written by the team that deals with that decision on real jobs rather than by an outside content writer.
Can I use this advice if I print with another supplier?
Yes. Clearance rules, board comparisons, finish behavior and file preparation are the same wherever a carton is printed. The lead times and minimums quoted in the posts are ours, so check those with whoever you use, but the technical guidance transfers without changes.
Can I suggest a topic for a future post?
Yes. Email us the question you could not find an answer to and we add it to the list. The posts that get written first are the ones several buyers have asked about, so a specific question with a bit of context about your bottle or your channel is more useful than a general subject.
Should I quote an article when I request a quote?
Yes, if it describes what you want. Mention the post and the option you have chosen from it, for example a crash-lock base from the empty box article or a paperboard platform from the insert post, and the quote comes back against that specification instead of a round of clarifying questions.
How do the posts relate to the product pages?
The product pages tell you what a structure is, what it is made from and how to order it. The posts explain why you would choose it over the alternatives and what goes wrong when you do not. Read the post to decide, then order from the product page it points to.
Are older articles kept up to date?
Yes, when something they describe changes. If a board, finish or lead time moves, we revise the post rather than leave stale guidance online, so the figures in an article match what we currently quote. If you spot something that looks out of date, tell us and we check it.
Is there a way to be told when a new post goes up?
There is no mailing list. New posts appear on this page, and the archive is small enough to scan in a minute. If you have an open quote with us and a relevant article has been published since, we point you to it in the reply rather than leaving you to find it.
