Housewares

GCI designs and manufactures folding cartons for the packaging of all kinds of Housewares and similar items including smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, light appliances, air fresheners, jewelry, giftware, kitchen utensils, household tools, light hardware and much more. We also design and manufacture custom specialty packaging for lawn and garden type products.

The materials utilized depend on the specific demands and requirements of your application, and can include SBS (virgin paperboard), SUS, Clay Coated News Back, metallized polyester and others. We can employ up to seven colors with coating and perfecting capabilities.  Other enhancements can be achieved with capabilities like hot and cold embossing, debossing and foil stamping. Packaging for Housewares and similar items needs to be sturdy enough to withstand the demands placed on it in transportation and storage, and at the same time it needs to provide an optimal display platform for your graphics.

We will follow your specifications, yet we will also offer design suggestions based on our experience and expertise. We like to get to know the requirements of our customers in detail, and tailor our work to meet them. In fact, it's always a goal of ours to get to the point of being able to anticipate a customer's needs and to make suggestions as to how to address them.
