Metallic contrast
Discuss foil colour and the artwork area. Paper compatibility, tooling and attainable detail require sample review.
Customization / OEM
Customize your
collapsible packaging.
Start a custom packaging project with the item, a reference or your existing artwork. Use the steps below to define what needs review before sampling or quotation.
Discuss Custom Packaging
Supplied originals · reference and verification
Outside. Inside. Edge.Appearance belongs in the same brief as the folding body.
Use the references to explain your preferred appearance or fit. Confirm available materials, finishes and construction for the selected project before approval.
Start with the product or a reference
The starting information can differ. Agree what needs to be reviewed and what still needs to be defined.
Existing drawings
Bring the dieline, artwork and specifications already available. Identify the current version and any areas to review.
Current version and measurement basisA product or concept
Bring product details, reference images and use requirements. Discuss the information needed before a sample or quote.
Item, reference and intended useDefine the size before the surface.
Review dimensions, protection, opening and the way the product will be packed.

- Length, width, depth and units

Purchasing inputs only. No technical dimensions, tolerances or dieline are stated.
Set the structural requirements
Tell us the size, opening preference, assembly needs and delivery state. Use the folding structure guide if you are still choosing a box format.
Structure & Dimensions
Folding bodyOptional magnetic closure
Closure is a separate configuration within the collapsible family.
Closure concept. Positions, covering and folding geometry need physical validation.
Review body and closure details
Body and corner fixing
Match the panels, formed shape and fixing method to a physical reference. An attached lid alone does not prove folding behaviour.
Explore folding structureLid and magnetic interface
Ask for the opening, closing and flat views of the same selected model. Magnet arrangement is not established by these concepts.
Review magnetic closureReview materials and finish requirements
Review the parts together. A finish choice can affect the structure, the sample and the final quotation.
Materials & Wrapping
Generic board and paper study. Not Jinma stock materials, grades or a supplied sample.
Board coreWrapped edgePaper surface
Printing & Finishing
Compare the intended appearance first. Confirm the paper, artwork, process operator and limitations with a physical sample before choosing a finish.
Foil-look, emboss-look and spot-UV-look studies. Proposed effects only; availability and physical results need confirmation.
Tactile relief
Discuss the intended raised or recessed effect. Relief, paper response and the construction need physical verification.
Gloss against matte
Discuss the coated area and contrast. Coating compatibility, registration and appearance need sample confirmation.
Proposal option: confirm feasibility, sample and responsibility with Jinma.
Bring the artwork and effect reference.
Artwork, colour and surface expectations. Which effects need a physical sample review?
Artwork and process questions
- Artwork
- Print area, colour reference and version
- Effect
- Physical sample, limitations and operator
Compare a box direction across three surface concepts
Same-box surface study. Illustrative geometry and effects, not available Jinma finishes or approved samples.
Three surface concepts using one box direction. Physical feasibility, process and paper construction require confirmation.
Check the supplied wrap-edge reference
Review the surface and the edge together.
A photograph can show appearance. It cannot establish paper grade, coating, board thickness or a repeatable finish specification.
Discuss Material & Finish ReferencesNo confirmed foil, embossing, UV or lamination menu is claimed.
Define the insert brief
Product position, protection and filling requirements. How will the product and packaging work together?
Inserts & Product Fit
Fit concept. Item, insert material, supply and protection performance are not verified.
Item, fit and packing inputs
- The item
- Dimensions, weight and sensitive surfaces
- The fit
- Position, removal and presentation
- The handover
- Who supplies, fits and packs the insert?
Confirm whether the insert travels fitted or separately. A flat folding body does not establish the packing state of the complete product.
Discuss Product FitPrepare artwork and the project brief
Discuss the dieline, material list and artwork reference needed for sample review.
Bring the version you want reviewed.
Identify artwork areas, colour references, file ownership and who can approve a change. Drawings remain subject to the selected physical structure.
Discuss Custom PackagingReference, file and approval inputs
- Reference
- Product or sample to discuss
- Artwork
- Current file and version
- Approval
- Named owner to agree
Agree the rights. Before work begins.
Discuss the terms for the files, tools and branding involved in the project.
Artwork & dielines
Who owns the files? Who may use or revise them? Which version may be shared?
Tools & moulds
Discuss tooling needs, charges, ownership, storage and future use before work proceeds.
White label & NDA
Agree branding requirements, project access and any confidentiality terms.
Ownership, tooling charges, design scope and confidentiality arrangements: to confirm with Jinma. No free design or standard NDA is promised.
Sampling and manufacturing discussion scope
Who makes it. Who checks it.
A project discussion should clarify the production route and the responsibilities behind it.
Clarify production and handover owners
Production route
Which processes are in-house, and which require a coordinated supplier?
Quality responsibility
Who reviews the sample, sets the checks and handles an issue?
Delivery coordination
Who confirms packing, scheduling and handover requirements?
A sample to review. A scope to quote.
Discuss the sample route and the details needed for a project quotation: structure, material, artwork, insert and packing requirements.
Quantity, target dates and destination belong in the same brief. Charges and order terms need project-specific confirmation.
Discuss a SampleBefore the customization discussion
Can I start without a dieline?
Yes, a project discussion can start with the item, intended use and reference images. Agree who provides or reviews drawings, what the work includes and the applicable terms. No free engineering service is assumed.
Which details should artwork include?
Bring the current file and version, intended print areas and colour references. Confirm the physical structure, production requirements, file permissions and approval owner before artwork is released.
How are finish options confirmed?
Use actual material and process samples for the chosen construction. The three surface concepts on this page do not establish available effects, process ownership or approved colour standards.
Bring the product. We can start there.
Include the intended use, product details, quantities and target dates. Tell us which parts you need help defining.
