From Printed Sheet to Finished Box
These behind-the-scenes photographs show the First Cut project progressing from lithographic printing and E-flute corrugated board preparation through die-cutting and folding to the finished branded packaging.
1. Full-Colour Lithographic Printing
The OKTO artwork was produced in full colour with careful attention to brand consistency, product information and the distinctive red-and-white presentation.
2. E-Flute Corrugated Board Preparation
The E-flute corrugated board provides a low-profile, rigid structure suited to branded industrial product packaging.
3. Litho-Lamination and Conversion Preparation
The high-quality printed outer sheet was mounted onto E-flute corrugated board before conversion, combining lithographic print quality with E-flute structural strength.
4. Custom Die-Cutting and Creasing
The cutting form creates the panels, creases, flaps, tabs and structural sections needed for accurate folding.
5. Stripping and Bulk Production
After die-cutting, excess material is removed and the flat blanks are stacked ready for folding and assembly.
6. Folding and Assembly
7. Finished OKTO Packaging
The finished packaging protects the product while presenting the OKTO brand, technical information and barcode in a professional format.
