Proofs:
- We offer either a Digital or two Printed Proof options:
- Flat Printed Proof: this starts at around $110 and are intended to check the print quality and color. You will receive your design on a flat sheet of the selected materials with production-quality print.
- Printed & Folded Proof: this starts at around $210 and are intended to check the print quality and color, as well as, to see if the size works for the product. These proofs also receive Production-Quality print, but are cut by a plotter machine, then glued and folded by hand rather than going through the full production process. They are not meant to represent a production-quality carton.
When your full order is produced, it will go through our machines that are designed to die-cut and glue the cartons in place. This machine is calibrated to apply even and firm pressure where the boxes are glued to ensure they do not come apart! Additionally, the glue used on the full order is more aggressive than the printed proof.
