Custom packaging for bakeries
Bakery packaging lives or dies on food safety and structure, not gloss. The box has to resist grease and a bit of moisture, stack without crushing, and often show the product through a window. We use food-grade board and coatings, and we keep the print simple because most of these are one or two colours on kraft.

- Auto-bottom cartons assemble fast at the counter, worth it for volume
- Kraft with one-colour print keeps cost low and reads as artisan
