Quality


Which format do you need?

Hard-cover folders with cardboard front and back covers for organising documents and sheet music. A format for keeping reference material together.



Frequently asked questions

Do they have rings or a fastening mechanism?

Confirm the system you require when requesting a quote. Hard covers and a cardboard format do not by themselves specify a ring mechanism.

How do they differ from cardboard archive boxes?

These folders hold documents between front and back covers. Cardboard archive boxes group documentation for organised storage.

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.

Can they organise sheet music?

Yes, sheet music is one of their applications. Specify sheet size and the thickness of the repertoire to choose the format and check how it will be consulted.

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

Specify sheet size, total document thickness and how the material will be consulted. Confirm the single or double-layer model and any required fastening system.

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.
