Customer Success Scenarios

• Darjeeling Estate Tea Brand (India) — A single-estate Darjeeling tea producer transitioning from generic bulk packaging to premium retail cartons sourced 25,000 straight-tuck folding cartons with gold foil logo and die-cut window. The window — covered with compostable PLA film — allowed consumers to see the whole-leaf tea grade before purchase, directly increasing retail conversion. The carton’s aluminum foil inner lining preserved the first-flush aroma through the 8-month supply chain from Darjeeling to European specialty stores. FSC-certified kraft board and soy-based inks supported the estate’s organic and Rainforest Alliance certifications. 14-day production turnaround.

• Kyoto Matcha Ceremony Brand (Japan) — A ceremonial-grade matcha producer required 3,000 two-piece rigid boxes with magnetic closure for their premium line (¥15,000 per 30g tin). The box combined soft-touch matte black lamination with copper foil Japanese calligraphy and a red satin interior. A CNC-milled EVA foam insert with precision cavity cradled the matcha tin while an adjacent slot held the bamboo whisk (chasen). Each box serialized with QR code linking to the tea master’s lineage certificate. ISO 9001 batch traceability documentation provided for Japanese import customs. Now annual contract.

• German Organic Tea Brand (Germany) — A bio-certified tea brand launching in EU organic supermarkets ordered 10,000 auto-lock bottom folding cartons with compostable PLA window for their herbal tea bag line (20-count). The uncoated kraft board with 1-color soy ink printing aligned with their zero-plastic packaging pledge. Auto-lock bottom eliminated glue — the entire carton (minus the removable PLA window film) was curbside recyclable and home compostable per EN 13432. EU 1935/2004 food-contact documentation and FSC chain-of-custody certificate provided. Re-order cycle: quarterly, 10,000+ units.
