Why Hand Finishing matters

  • Hand assembly of boxes, sleeves, kits and presentation pieces.
  • Precise application of belly bands, ribbons, stickers and closures.
  • Mounting, inserting, tipping-in and component assembly.
  • Finishing for short-run luxury packaging and bespoke items

What this unlocks for your project

  • Flawless execution on pieces too intricate for automation.
  • High-end luxury packaging with craft-level detail.
  • Short runs where precision matters more than speed.

  • Complex structures may benefit from prototypes first.
