Custom Paper Food Box Packaging

I’m launching a new food item and need a bespoke paper box that balances shelf appeal with practicality. The format is fixed—I want a box, not a bag or wrapper—and the material must be paper, steering clear of plastic in favour of a more eco-friendly feel.

Here’s what I’ll supply:
• Exact product dimensions and weight
• Brand colours, logo assets and copy requirements
• Regulatory text and any barcodes

Here’s what I expect back:
• A production-ready dieline in AI/PDF
• Print-ready artwork in CMYK with fonts outlined
• 3D mock-ups or high-res renders to visualise the finished pack
• Brief notes on board weight and coating so the printer can quote accurately

The box should minimize material waste, close securely, and withstand typical retail handling. Familiarity with Adobe Illustrator and carton engineering principles is essential; skills in 3D tools such as KeyShot or similar are a plus. I’m aiming to approve the final files within a week, but I can adjust if you need a bit more time for polish.
