Common use cases
FMCG outer packaging
High-volume SKUs where unit-cost economics matter more than premium feel — household goods, basic personal care, snack outer cartons.
Promotional / seasonal packaging
Holiday hampers, sampler kits, and short-lifecycle promotional packs where cost discipline matters.
B2B / industrial packaging
Outer cartons for trade distribution where the box is functional rather than the primary brand surface.
Duplex vs. art carton — choosing the right stock
Duplex board has a coated white face and an uncoated grey reverse. For outer packaging where the inside isn't seen, it delivers the same printed appearance as art carton at a meaningfully lower unit cost — especially at runs above 5,000 pieces.
UV coating adds a clear protective layer that resists scuffing through distribution and warehousing. For brand owners scaling from boutique runs into modern-trade volume, the duplex + UV combination is usually where unit economics start working in your favour.
