With our sourcing approach, you benefit from the best technical and creative solutions to make your project a success, while keeping costs and deadlines under control.

PROTOTYPING

Validating your project through a tangible model

Prototyping is a crucial step in turning your concept into a tangible reality. It allows us to bring together your chosen materials, printing techniques, and finishes into a physical model, so every aspect of your project can be validated before full-scale production.

> A concrete model to validate your idea : the prototype is a physical representation of your project, incorporating all your selected elements as paper type, printing technique (offset, screen printing, etc.), as well as finishes and embellishments (varnish, embossing, die-cutting, etc.). It allows you to visualize the final product and assess how it aligns with your expectations in terms of appearance, ergonomics, and design.
> A feasibility test : creating a prototype enables us to test the technical viability of your project in advance. This helps identify any necessary adjustments early on and ensures that the final product will meet your standards.
> Budget and timeline validation : prototyping also plays a key role in confirming both budget and production schedule. By reviewing the prototype, we can verify whether the estimated costs and delivery timelines are still realistic. If adjustments are needed, they can be made before moving into mass production, ensuring a smooth process with no surprises.
> A final checkpoint before production : the prototype is the ultimate validation step, giving you the opportunity to make final tweaks to the design or production methods before large-scale manufacturing begins. This helps reduce errors and ensures the finished product meets all your expectations.

Through prototyping, we make sure your project is perfectly aligned with your vision and needs, while keeping budget and timelines in check. It’s the final step that ensures everything is in place for a successful production launch.

PRODUCTION

Tailored production for an optimal result

Production is the culmination of all the preparatory work carried out beforehand. Backed by our expertise and a trusted network of specialized partners, we ensure high-quality manufacturing, fully tailored to your specific needs.

> A wide range of formats to suit every requirement : Whether your project involves packaging solutions, printed communication materials, or special editions, we have the capability to produce across a broad spectrum of formats: small, medium, or large runs / standard or custom sizes / foldable, die-cut, assembled, or 3D products.
> Carefully selected materials : We choose the most suitable materials based on your project’s visual appeal (look, feel, colors), durability (resistance to handling, wear, and storage), and sustainability (recycled papers, plant-based inks, eco-responsible alternatives). Our sourcing capabilities allow us to offer both classic materials (paper, board, kraft) and innovative, premium options to elevate your project.
> Production techniques tailored to your goals : We provide a wide range of technical solutions, depending on the desired finish and your budget :
- printing techniques : offset, digital, screen printing, flexography...
- embellishment : hot foil stamping, embossing, spot varnish, lamination…
- shaping and finishing : laser cutting, folding, gluing, custom assembly…

Every project benefits from a rigorous, optimized production process, ensuring flawless aesthetics and uncompromising quality.

QUALITY CONTROL

Meticulous oversight at every stage for flawless production

Quality control is a key step in ensuring that your production meets expectations. We carefully check every phase of the process : printing (color accuracy, sharpness), embellishments (embossing, foil stamping, varnish), finishing (cutting, folding, assembly), and packaging (protection and appropriate wrapping).

Strict inspections are carried out at each stage to detect any defects and guarantee optimal quality.

Our commitment is to deliver a flawless product that matches the approved prototype. This attention to detail ensures an irreproachable result that fully meets your standards.

LOGISTICS

Streamlined management for flawless delivery
