Ninefold PrintFood and Beverage Packaging
Keep the Brand. Compare the Production Path.
Your package does not need a redesign just because you want another price, another source or another production option.
A Low-Friction Starting Point
Start With the Package Already on the Shelf
Send a sample, photograph, dieline or current specification. Ninefold maps the structure, material, print coverage, finishes, quantities and delivery requirements needed for a useful comparison.
Common Programs
Packaging Around the Product
Folding Cartons
Tuck-end, auto-bottom, sleeves and specialty structures for retail products.
Labels
Roll and sheet labels in paper or film, for hand or machine application.
Beverage Carriers
Multipack cartons, basket carriers, can sleeves and printed trays.
Retail-Ready Corrugated
Printed shippers, shelf-ready trays and litho-laminated components.
Inserts and Launch Materials
Instructions, coupons, sell sheets, sample pieces and supporting collateral.
Kitting and Delivery
Assembly, co-packer delivery, split shipments and fulfillment when the program requires it.
What Changes the Price
Specification Before Comparison
Dimensions, board grade, caliper, print coverage, coating, die cutting, gluing, order quantity and freight all change the result. We call out assumptions rather than hiding them inside a range.
Food and Product Requirements
Requirements Follow the Job
Product contact, recycled-content, chain-of-custody and retailer requirements are handled as project specifications. When a certification or documented material standard is needed, it becomes part of manufacturer selection.
Buying 25,000 or more cartons at a time?
That is often where a production-path comparison becomes useful.
