From idea to delivery

From idea to delivery

Every packaging project starts with understanding the product, how it is used and the business need. We help you find the right solution based on function, brand, logistics, sustainability and cost. We always find the right solution, and we are with you as a partner all the way to delivery.

Packaging design

Packaging design

Packaging should do more than protect the product – it should make people stop and want to choose it. We develop and design packaging that suits the brand, the product and the target audience, from the first idea to the finished pack.

Construction & material advice

03

Construction & material advice

A good construction should work just as well in production as it does for the customer. We develop packaging with a focus on function, material usage, sustainability and legal requirements – all for a smooth solution from prototype to finished product. The right material affects the look and feel, function, cost and sustainability of the product. We help you find the material that suits you best, with a focus on sustainability and feel, to meet the demands of consumers and the market.

Prototyping

Prototyping

Good decisions start with the right construction and material. We produce prototypes and samples to make sure the packaging meets your requirements before production. With our digital printing technology, you get a result that is close to the finished product.

Sustainable alternatives

Sustainability is about more than choosing materials. We help you understand and manage legal and environmental requirements and upcoming regulations, while developing smart and sustainable packaging solutions. As a partner, we take responsibility all the way – from idea and material choice to production and recycling – for people and the planet.

Production

500 or 2 million packs a month? For us, volume is not what matters. With modern technology in both digital and offset printing, we help customers of all sizes. Some in the industry say you have to choose between flexibility and volume. We have proven the opposite by delivering high quality at the right price, whatever the run length.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you help with print files and artwork?

Yes. Our prepress department reviews and quality-checks print files before production to ensure a predictable and reliable print result. We help with everything from colour management and barcodes to the technical requirements for printing and finishing.

We also see ourselves as a knowledge partner and actively help our customers learn how print files should be built. With clear guidelines and ongoing advice, many errors can be avoided before the files are even sent to us, which means a more efficient process, shorter lead times and a higher-quality end product.

Can we switch to Kartongbolaget as our packaging supplier?

Absolutely. We have extensive experience of helping companies switch or develop their packaging solution, and we guide the customer through the entire process. With expertise in construction, materials, production and logistics, we ensure a smooth transition with a focus on quality, delivery reliability and continuity. Whether it is a new packaging solution, a pilot project or a larger production switch, we work closely with the customer all the way from idea to finished product.

Which certifications does Kartongbolaget have?

Kartongbolaget is certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management). We also offer FSC®-certified material for customers who require traceability and raw material from responsibly managed forests. During 2027, we are implementing and working towards certification to FSSC 22000 to further strengthen our food safety processes.

Do you deliver outside Sweden?

Yes. We deliver to customers in Sweden, the Nordics, Europe and other parts of the world. From our production site in Helsingborg, we help both local and international customers with packaging solutions and logistics tailored to their business.

What is the lead time?

A typical lead time is around 5–6 weeks from order to delivery.

Since every packaging solution is customised, the lead time can vary depending on construction, material, printing, finishing, volume and when artwork and proofs are approved. We always agree on a clear schedule with the customer before production starts.

What does the process look like from idea to finished packaging?

The process is adapted to the scope of the project but usually follows these steps:

  1. Needs analysis and requirements specification
  2. Construction and development of the packaging solution
  3. Material selection and cost optimisation
  4. Prototype and any testing
  5. Prepress and artwork review
  6. Proofing and approval
  7. Production
  8. Delivery

With construction, prepress and production under one roof, we can ensure an efficient flow and high quality throughout the process.

Yes. We develop packaging solutions for industrial companies with a focus on function, quality and efficiency. With expertise in construction, materials and production, we help our customers create packaging that protects the product, simplifies handling and works throughout the logistics chain.

Can you make packaging for retail?

Yes. Packaging is often the customer's first encounter with the product. We develop packaging and display solutions that combine function, brand building and selling power to make a strong impression in store.

Can you make packaging for cosmetics and beauty products?

Absolutely. In cosmetics, the packaging is often as important as what is inside. We help our customers develop packaging where design, materials, construction and finish work together to strengthen the brand, create a premium feel and make a strong first impression in store or online.

Can you make food packaging?

Absolutely. We help food companies develop packaging that protects the product, runs efficiently in production and logistics, and strengthens the brand in store.

Can you make pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging?

Yes. We develop and manufacture packaging solutions for customers in pharma and health. With a focus on quality, traceability and the right choice of material, we help our customers create packaging that meets their requirements for function, safety and quality. Kartongbolaget is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and FSC, and we work closely with the customer throughout the process, from development to finished product.

Can you help us choose the right material and packaging solution?

Yes. We help you find the solution that suits you best based on product, brand, function, volume and cost. We work with a range of board grades and also offer FSC®-certified materials for customers who require traceability and responsible forestry. The goal is not just to produce a pack, but to find a solution together that works practically, commercially and in the long term.

How do you work with sustainability in your packaging solutions?

Sustainability is a natural part of our work. We develop fibre-based packaging solutions with a focus on recyclability, material efficiency and high quality throughout the process.

With certification to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and FSC, we ensure documented processes, consistently high quality, environmental responsibility and full traceability throughout the supply chain.

Which materials does Kartongbolaget work with?

We specialise in solid board packaging and work with a range of board grades chosen based on product, function, print, appearance and sustainability requirements. We help the customer choose a material solution that works throughout the flow, from production and logistics to the finished pack. If other materials or solutions are needed than those we offer ourselves, we can often help through our network of partners.

What types of packaging do you make?

We make many different types of packaging, printed or unprinted, and adapt the solution to the product, its use and the brand. Our customers include companies in pharma and health, food, cosmetics, retail and industry.

Can you help with design and prototypes before we order a larger run?

Absolutely. Our structural designers help develop and evaluate packaging solutions before full-scale production. We also help with artwork review and prepress preparation ahead of production. We can produce physical samples, prototypes and smaller test runs to ensure function, appearance and user experience before a larger production run starts.

Can you create fully customised packaging?

Yes. We develop tailor-made packaging solutions based on product, brand, function and use. With expertise in construction, prepress and production, we help throughout the process, from idea and development to finished packaging.

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

No, we have no general minimum order. We help customers with everything from prototypes and test runs to larger production volumes. The most suitable volume depends on construction, material and production method. Get in touch and we will recommend a solution based on your needs.

Can Kartongbolaget handle both small and large production volumes?

Yes. We produce everything from prototypes and test runs to production in the millions. We can scale up or down as your needs change. This flexibility is particularly valuable for product launches, seasonal variations or rapid increases in sales.
