Our services

Your team on the ground in Vietnam

We are not a factory and we don't sell boxes. We represent you at every step of making them, from the first quote to the last carton loaded.

Factory sourcing

We match your spec, volume and budget to factories we know from the inside, then collect and compare quotes and samples.

Factory audit

On-site check of equipment, capacity, materials and quality systems, so you know who you're dealing with before paying a deposit.

Production follow-up

Artwork and dieline check before print, pre-production sample approval, and weekly progress updates with photos.

Quality inspection

AQL-based inspection before shipment: dimensions, board, color measured with a spectrophotometer, finishing and packing.

How it works

From spec to shipment in four steps

  1. Send your spec

    Box style, size, material, artwork and target volume. Rough is fine; we'll help complete it.

  2. Get matched factories

    We shortlist and audit suitable factories, then bring you quotes and samples to compare.

  3. We follow production

    Pre-production sample approval and regular updates until the last box is packed.

  4. Inspect before shipping

    Full QC report with photos and measured color. You decide to ship or fix.

Testimonial

What buyers say about working with us

“Before working with [Founder], every reprint was a gamble on color. He measured every lot against our standard and caught issues before they shipped. Our launches finally stayed on schedule.”
[Name]Sourcing Manager, US packaging importer
“He knows packaging factories from the inside. When a supplier pushed a cheaper board, he caught it at the pre-production sample, not at our warehouse. That alone saved us a full reprint.”
[Name]Head of Operations, EU cosmetics brand
“Clear English, weekly photo reports and no surprises. Managing production in Vietnam finally felt as easy as working with a partner down the street.”
[Name]Founder, Australian e-commerce brand
