  • A cohesive brand image that enhances perceived value

Customer Case: From Stock to Custom Success

One of our European wine merchant clients started by ordering our black folding stock boxes for sale for a product launch. Within 3 months, after testing the market, they returned to upgrade their packaging with a fully custom box solution featuring magnetic closures, gold foil logo, and a fitted insert. The result? Increased customer retention and stronger retail presentation.
