Quality


Which format do you need?

Corrugated cardboard boxes for grouping documents by file, period or department. The format is adapted to the volume of paper and available archive space.



Frequently asked questions

Are these boxes or folders?

These are corrugated cardboard archive boxes. For a cover-and-back-cover format, see the document folders.

Can archive references be printed?

Ask about printing logos, text and references. Specify your filing system and the panels that will remain visible.

Which dimensions should I provide?

State the contents’ dimensions and specify whether packaging measurements are internal or external. Allow room for inserting and removing items.

How should I organise archives by year or department?

Choose a consistent system and an external reference for each box. Select the document volume per unit according to access frequency and shelf space.

Can the printing be customised?

Ask about options for the chosen format. Send the artwork, colours and panels you want printed so feasibility can be confirmed.

What is the price and minimum order quantity?

We manufacture custom boxes for businesses, with minimum orders depending on size, format and project specifications. Special pricing is available for large quantities; request a proposal based on your business requirements and order volume.

What is the order lead time?

The usual lead time is 2 to 3 days after the project is approved.

How to choose the format

Measure the documents and complete bundle, including folders or sleeves. Decide how each box will be identified and accessed on the shelf.

Customisation and printing

Ask about printing options for this format. Send your logo or artwork, identify the panels that need information and specify the planned colours. The material, assembly and position of folds and cuts must be considered when assessing printing.

What we need to prepare your quote

Provide quantity, dimensions, contents and weight, intended use and printing requirements. Include the delivery town and preferred date. A sketch, sample or reference helps check the configuration.
