5. How to Get Started: From Concept to Production

Step 1: Define Your Product Needs

Determine product dimensions, target customers, and brand positioning.
Ask: Is your box for retail display, gifting, or shipping?

Step 2: Structural Design

Our design engineers prepare custom dielines based on product measurements, inserts, and handle style.
3D mockups can be provided before tooling to ensure the perfect fit.

Step 3: Printing & Surface Finishing

Select the right printing method (digital or offset) and add finishing touches such as hot foil, debossing, or lamination to enhance visual appeal.

Step 4: Sample Approval

We produce a pre-production sample to test structure, color, and functionality before mass production.

Step 5: Mass Production & Delivery

After approval, your order moves into full-scale production.
Our QA team inspects every box for alignment, color consistency, and durability before shipment.

When reinforced with corrugated layers or internal supports, the suitcase box can safely hold multi-piece or heavy gift sets. GPLPAK engineers customize thickness and handle strength based on your product weight.
