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.
