Custom Packaging

At GCI, all of our packaging is custom designed and custom manufactured to perfectly match the needs of each customer. Every paper folding box and folding carton is manufactured to be a perfect balance of form, fit and function. With an in-house die-making department, each project can get the fresh start it deserves. We work with every customer to make sure that their custom specialty packaging will contain the product properly during the expected stresses of transportation and storage, and will at the same time have a look and feel that reflects the customer's preferences and stands out in the marketplace. And the same kind of care and attention goes into the design of point-of-purchase displays that catch the eye of the consumer.

We design and manufacture custom specialty packaging for these and other industries (click each as applicable for additional details):

We are happy to work with you as a customer whether you know exactly what you want already, or whether you are still at the planning stage and would benefit from a selection of ideas. Our structural design team can look at the requirements of your job and come up with a variety of options for you to choose from. We appreciate a challenge and we don't shy away from being creative. We may make boxes, but we think outside of the box when it comes to packaging design.
