Seasonal Retail Programmes
Seasonal packaging fails on timing more often than on quality, so the schedule is built backwards from your on-shelf date.
Start a ProjectEvery Step From Brief to Shipment
Nothing moves to the next step until the one before it is approved, because every change after the die is cut costs time you do not have.
Range Planning
The bag, box and food gift items in the season are quoted together so board and paper are bought once.
Artwork Lock
Seasonal artwork is locked early, because every structure needs its own die line from that artwork.
Sampling Window
Printed samples for each structure are approved before production capacity is booked.
Production Slots
Production is scheduled across the range rather than item by item.
Consolidated Shipping
Items from the same season ship together to cut freight and simplify customs paperwork.
Post Season Review
Dies and approved samples are kept so a repeat season can restart from the same reference.
Run on Our Own Presses
Three sets of Heidelberg presses, paper cutting and die cutting machines, a manual foil stamping press and paper bag folding machines sit on one 2,500 square metre floor run by 58 people.
That is why a colour correction, a die change or a structure question is answered by the people who will run the job rather than passed down a chain of subcontractors.
What This Programme Produces
Questions About Seasonal Retail Programmes
Can bags and boxes ship together?
Yes. Ordering the season as one programme means the items are produced and consolidated for a single shipment.
Do you keep our dies for reorders?
Approved samples and die references are kept so a repeat season starts from the same structure.
What lead time should we allow?
Allow time for artwork lock, sampling and approval before production. We confirm the schedule with the quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Start With a Sample, Not a Purchase Order
Send the brief and we will come back with a structure, a price and a sampling schedule.
