Step 01 / 05

Say what it holds.

One sentence is enough. Product, size, finish, quantity. Tuckra reads it like a packaging engineer would.

Step 02 / 05

Drawn to the millimetre.

Agents draw a production dieline for your product: cut lines, creases, dust flaps and a 3 mm bleed, checked against the board you picked.

Step 03 / 05

Hold a sample first.

A plain folded sample ships to your desk in 4 days. Check the fit with the real product before a single sheet is printed.

Step 04 / 05

Three quotes, one click.

Converters bid on the job. You see price, lead time and carbon side by side, then approve the one you want.Pressed 0 / 2,000

Step 05 / 05

Flat-packed to your door.

Boxes are quality-checked, flat-packed and delivered with tracking. Reorders take one tap and keep the same dieline.

Brief

Say what goes inside.

Type what the box holds, roughly how many you need and how you want it to feel. Upload a logo if you have one. That is the whole form.

→

We read it like a packaging engineer: product size, weight, fragility

→

Missing details come back as one short question, not a call

Your brief is saved, so reorders start from it

Questions

The process,

in plain words.

What the box holds, roughly how many, and how it should feel. "Mailer for a 250 ml candle, matte black, gold logo, 2,000 units" is a complete brief. Add a logo file if you have one.

Our agents draft it from your product dimensions and the board you pick; a packaging engineer checks every one before it goes to a converter.

No, but most brands do. It's a plain folded box made to your exact dieline, and the $39 comes off your first order.

By machine capability, board stock, distance to you and past QC scores. Three who can make your job bid; you choose.

Colour against your proof, cut and crease accuracy, glue, count and carton labels. You get photos from the line before freight is booked.

Pick the fastest bid, skip the physical sample and approve on the digital proof. Most rush jobs land in 8 working days.

Ready when your product is.

Write one sentence. Quote in a day, sample in four.
