Structure · Surface · Protection
The weight of a board. The texture of a fabric. The clarity of glass. Material is part of how a product is understood.
Compare materials through their intended use, print behaviour and finishing options. The right choice balances presentation, protection and the requirements of your product.

Materials
Six material families to discuss when developing your specification.
Creative product illustrations. Materials and finishes are specified for your project.
Print & surface
Set the tone through texture, opacity and finish. A smooth stock, a textured paper and an adhesive label each interact differently with artwork and the surface beneath.
Ask for a sample when touch and colour are decisive.
Shape & structure
Give a package its shape and presence. Select the board around product weight, opening style, fit and assembly, then coordinate the surface treatment.
The structure and finish should be specified together.
Colour & character
Work with the natural appearance of the material rather than expecting every paper to print in the same way. Check how the base colour changes the artwork.
Recycled content and sourcing claims require supporting documentation.
Flexible protection
Build protection around the contents. The layers, seal and closure depend on the barrier needed, the filling process and storage conditions.
A multilayer format is not automatically recyclable.
Container & closure
Combine the visible character of glass with a closure suited to the contents. Consider capacity, handling and decoration alongside the desired silhouette.
Confirm intended use and transport protection before approval.
Texture & everyday use
Choose the hand, weight and construction for the way the piece will be carried or worn. Artwork, fabric colour and decoration technique work as a system.
Composition and sourcing claims are confirmed in the specification.
Define your project
Define the contents, protection, handling and storage conditions.
Review texture, print, coating and adhesive as a complete combination.
Request the documentation required for sourcing, recycled content or product-contact claims.
Assess the complete pack, its components and the collection systems available at destination.
Your brief. Our starting point.
Share the product, intended use and finish you have in mind. We will use them to define the material requirements for your quote.
