Packaging printing
Can I get boxes printed in a small run
Printed boxes, labels and sleeves in runs small enough for a producer who is still working out what sells.
You get packaging that looks shop ready without committing to a pallet in the garage. Samples first where the material allows, so you are holding the thing before you order it.
What does short run packaging printing get you
Small food and drink producers get stuck in the same place every time. The big packaging outfits want an order that fills a shipping container, and you are making batches in a unit outside Wellington. Short runs get round that. Print enough to fill a farm shop shelf, see whether it shifts, and change the label before you have a shed full of the wrong thing. It also means you can try two flavours without gambling on both. On the practical side, labels need to survive a fridge or a freezer, boxes need to fold without cracking straight through your logo, and anything touching food carries its own rules about what has to appear and where. That gets handled rather than left for you to discover at the worst moment. Barcodes, ingredients, weights and allergens all get laid out so they stay legible on a small pack.
| What you need | Usually best for |
|---|---|
| Printed labels | Jars, bottles and tubs you already buy plain |
| Printed boxes | Gift sets, hampers and anything posted out |
| Sleeves and belly bands | Plain packaging you want to change often |
Questions people actually ask
Can I see one before I order the lot
Where the material allows it, yes. Ask for a sample and you can stand it on a shelf, shove it in a fridge, or post one to yourself before committing.
Do you do the label design as well
Yes, and it usually works out cheaper done together, because the artwork gets built to the cutter guide first time instead of being redrawn to fit.
What about barcodes and allergen labelling
Send what has to appear and it gets laid out properly and legibly. Getting the wording right is your call, but the layout won’t be the thing that fails.
What will it cost
Depends what you want, so ask. Ring 01823 242424 or email info@reor.co.uk, tell us what you need, and you get a price. One job, one price, done.
