From the structure and material through to printing, finishing and ongoing production, Pakko helps Australian businesses create cardboard packaging that is practical, protective and ready to manufacture.
Whether you already know the box style and dimensions or need help developing the right solution, our Brisbane team can guide you through the next step.
Every packaging project begins differently. Select the pathway that best reflects where you are now.

Discuss Ongoing Supply →Custom packaging is not only about placing a logo on a standard box. The structure needs to work with the product, the way it is packed, how it will be transported and how often it will be ordered.
Before recommending a solution, we consider the full journey of the packaging.
The result is packaging developed around how your business will actually use it.
Pakko manufactures cardboard packaging across a range of structures, materials and production quantities. Your packaging can be made to a custom size, printed to suit your brand and developed with inserts or finishes where required.
The exact process depends on the complexity of the packaging, but most custom projects move through five clear stages.
Tell us about the product, dimensions, quantity, printing, delivery location and how the packaging will be used.
We help determine the packaging style, board grade, internal fit and production method suited to the project.
Where required, a structural design or plain sample is created so that fit, assembly and presentation can be reviewed before production.
Artwork is applied to the approved packaging keyline and checked before final production approval.
Once approved, the packaging moves into production at our Brisbane facility and is prepared for collection or delivery.
Some straightforward projects can begin from an existing keyline or confirmed dimensions. More complex inserts and structural packaging may require physical products for accurate development and testing.
A structural design, plain sample and printed production sample serve different purposes. We will advise which stage is appropriate based on the packaging complexity and the level of testing required.
Structural development is used when a packaging solution needs to be designed around a physical product, internal layout or specific functional requirement.
This may include:
For product-specific structures, we may need the physical products to test fit and performance accurately.
Samples allow you to review the packaging before the main production run.
Depending on the project, this may include:
Your Pakko contact will explain what the sample can and cannot confirm before you proceed.
Once the structure is established, printing and finishing can be selected to suit the design, material, quantity and budget.
Pakko can help determine the most practical production method rather than applying the same printing process to every project.
Well suited to short runs, prototypes, multiple artworks and full-colour custom packaging.
Suited to high-quality printed sheets and detailed artwork that can be laminated to corrugated board.
A practical option for larger runs and simpler artwork applied directly to corrugated packaging.
Projects may use full-colour CMYK printing or specified colours depending on the print process and artwork requirements.
Your first packaging order does not need to predict every future requirement. Pakko can support an initial product launch or short-run project, then help establish a repeatable manufacturing pathway as demand grows.
Create an initial quantity to test the product, structure, artwork and customer response.
Reorder an approved design, review quantities and improve production efficiency as demand becomes clearer.
For established requirements, discuss multiple SKUs, volume pricing, forecasts, scheduled production and drawdown arrangements.
The objective is not simply to manufacture the first order. It is to establish packaging that can continue working as the business changes.
Pakko brings packaging guidance, design support and manufacturing together through one Brisbane-based team.
This gives customers a direct point of contact throughout the project and creates a clearer path from the first discussion through to repeat production.
You do not need to have every detail finalised. However, the more information you can provide, the more accurately we can assess the project and recommend the right next step.
For custom inserts and product-specific structural designs, physical products may be required before the final structure can be developed.
Prepare Your Custom QuoteMinimum quantities depend on the packaging style, material, printing method and manufacturing process. Some products can be produced in short runs, while other methods become more practical at larger quantities.
Timing depends on structural development, artwork approval, material availability, printing method and the current production schedule. Your Pakko contact will confirm the expected timeframe for your project.
No. You can begin with dimensions, quantities and a description of the packaging. Artwork can be prepared once the structure and keyline have been confirmed.
Yes. Product-specific inserts can be structurally developed to support fit, placement and protection. Physical products may be required for accurate testing.
Sample options depend on the project. These may include a plain sample, structural prototype, digitally printed sample or existing material sample.
Yes. Once a design and specification have been approved, Pakko can manufacture repeat orders and discuss ongoing supply arrangements for established requirements.
Yes. Existing keylines and packaging designs can be reviewed to determine whether they are suitable for Pakko's materials and manufacturing processes.
The most helpful information includes the box style, dimensions, quantity, product details, printing requirements, delivery location and any artwork or reference files.
Share what you are packaging, the quantity you need and where you are in the process. We will help identify the most practical way to move forward.
