Custom primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging — designed, produced, and delivered ready to fill. From mailers and folding cartons to retail-ready displays, we handle the full packaging stack so your product lands the way you intended.
Every product needs packaging at three levels — what touches the product, what holds multiple products together, and what gets it from our dock to yours. Most brands juggle 2–3 suppliers across these layers. We do all three under one quote, one timeline, one contract.
What touches the product. The unit a customer actually sees, opens, and uses.
What holds multiple units together. Retail-ready, distribution-ready, or both.
What gets the product from our dock to yours. Industrial-grade transit and palletization.
Six format categories with their material, size, and decoration options. If your project shape fits one of these, we can produce it. If it doesn't, ask anyway — our network covers more than what's listed here.
Some buyers come with print-ready art. Others come with a Pantone code and a vibe. Both work. Here's how we handle each, and what's included with every project.
Sustainability shouldn't be a marketing line. Here are the actual eco material and process options we offer — what they are, what they cost, and where they make sense.
Chain-of-custody from responsibly managed forests. Available on all paperboard and corrugated. Typical 3–8% cost premium.
Post-consumer recycled paperboard (30–100%) and plastics (25–100% PCR). Available on most formats. Cost varies by PCR %.
PLA-based pouches, fiber bottles, mushroom mycelium void fill, kraft paper tape. BPI-certified where claims are made.
Soy-based and water-based inks on flexo and offset jobs. Reduces VOCs without sacrificing print quality. No cost premium.
From brief to first production run, every project moves through the same five stages. Each stage has a clear deliverable and a clear handoff — no black-box waiting periods.
You send product specs, dimensions, volumes, and brand assets. We send back a quote and timeline.
Dielines, structural mockups, and graphic design. You see 3D renders before any plates are cut.
Digital and hardcopy proofs ship to you. Press-condition match — what you approve is what you get.
Press run, QC inspection, kit assembly. Photos at each stage so you can verify before shipment.
Ships to your dock, fulfillment partner, or co-packer. Reorders skip Steps 1–3 — ~4-week cycle.
Anonymized examples of the kind of packaging projects we typically run. If yours rhymes with one of these, we can probably help.
A DTC brand needed the full packaging stack for a launch — primary cartons, bottles with custom labels, mailer boxes, and tissue-wrap inserts. We coordinated three production runs across paperboard, label, and corrugated suppliers so everything landed at their co-packer the same week. Reorders now run on a 4-week cycle.
A safety-supplier wholesale account needed half-pallet retail-ready shippers (RRPs) for a hardware-chain promotion. We designed the structural dieline, printed the litho-lam corrugated, and kitted the displays with product before shipping to chain DCs. Hit the promotion launch window with two weeks to spare.
A B2B distributor wanted Bravon-supplied PPE shipped in their own branded master cartons rather than generic kraft. We co-branded the carton design, ran one consolidated print job across all 12 SKUs, and folded the cost into their wholesale quote. Their customers see their brand, not ours.
Packaging quotes look complicated because the industry makes them complicated. We break costs into three buckets and disclose each separately: tooling, production, and design. Every line item is visible. No hidden markup.
Most buyers find their first project sits 10–18% below what a packaging broker would quote — because brokers add a layer of margin we don't have.
Dies, plates, mold cavities, and print cylinders. These are physical assets created for your project and amortized over the production run. Disclosed up front, paid once per design.
The variable cost — material, ink, press time, finishing, packaging of the packaging. Scales with volume. Bigger runs = lower per-unit cost.
Only charged when we're doing creative work. Structural dielines + 3D mockups are included free with every production project. Graphic design is per-project quoted.
The questions we hear most from new packaging clients. If yours isn't here, ask directly — we'll add it.
Private Label is putting your brand on Bravon's existing products. Sourcing is finding new products Bravon doesn't currently sell. Packaging is creating the actual packaging stack for whatever product you have — your product, a Bravon product, or a sourced product. The three programs often run together for the same client.
MOQs vary by format. Corrugated and folding cartons start at ~1,000 units. Labels can run lower (500). Custom bottles or pouches typically start at 5,000–10,000 because of tooling amortization. We'll tell you the practical minimum for your format on the first call, not after you've sunk time into design.
Yes. Most packaging is produced domestically (US + Mexico) and ships LTL/FTL freight. International production runs (typically for cost-driven projects with longer lead time) ship via ocean freight with full customs brokerage included. You pick FOB or DDP terms.
Almost always. Send us a sample or a packaging spec sheet and we'll source matching material, replicate the dieline, and color-match within Delta-E 2 (industry standard for accurate brand color reproduction). Where we can't exactly match a proprietary substrate, we'll flag the gap before quoting.
PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 for offset, flexo, and digital. Packaged Adobe Illustrator (.ai with linked images and outlined fonts) is also fine. For flexible packaging and labels we'll often need vector art with separations specified. We send a press-prep checklist after the brief is approved so there's no guessing.
FSC-certified paper adds 3–8%. PCR plastic varies by content percentage (25% PCR adds ~5%, 100% PCR can add 15–20% depending on the resin market). Compostable materials sit at a premium because supply is limited. We'll quote both standard and sustainable options so you can make the tradeoff transparently.
Yes. We can ship packaging direct to your 3PL, co-packer, or contract manufacturer. If you use Bravon Fulfillment for order operations, we can keep finished packaging in our warehouse and pull from inventory as your fulfillment scales — no warehousing fee for active accounts.
First projects: 4–8 weeks from approved brief to delivery, depending on format. Reorders: 3–4 weeks since tooling and art are already done. Expedited runs are possible (2–3 weeks for some formats) at a 15–25% rush premium. We'll quote both standard and rush timelines if you ask.
Tell us what you're packaging, at what volume, and where it's going. Even a rough brief is enough to come back with format options, indicative pricing, and a realistic timeline within 48 hours.
