Shippers & Transit

Rugged outer shippers designed to withstand distribution centers. Compression-rated to support heavy stacking without crushing.

Success in Action

Case Study: BevMo! Rush Rollout

Fast-Track Displays for 818 Tequila Launch

When BevMo! needed a super-rush of 100+ in-store signs for a celebrity appearance tied to 818 Tequila, PM Packaging mobilized. We handled estimating, prepress, large-format printing, and finishing overnight. The result? Signs arrived by Saturday opening, delivering a polished brand experience.

Performance Problems We Solve

Beverage packaging faces unique challenges: weight, moisture, and friction. We engineer solutions to handle them.

Condensation & Moisture

Wet-strength boards and coatings that maintain integrity in cold chains.

Label Scuffing

Abrasion-resistant varnishes and linerboards tailored to prevent transit vibration from ruining labels.

Handle Tear-Out

Reinforced top sheets and structural designs that support the heavy weight of beverage multipacks.

Stacking Compression

High-performance fluting profiles (SFL) that allow pallets to be stacked higher without box failure.

Beverage Packaging by Channel

Retail Shelf & Convenience

Requires scuff-resistant cartons that stay pristine despite customer handling.

Club Store & Pallet

Demands high stacking strength and bulk visibility. SFL corrugated top sheets deliver the rigidity needed.

E-commerce & DTC

Focus on transit survival. Stronger shippers, custom inserts, and dividers are essential to protect glass labels.

Promos & Launches

Speed is key. High-impact POP displays and seasonal signage that can be produced quickly.

Standout Beverage Finishes

  • Anti-Scuff Coatings:

    Ensures printed cartons look clean and fresh even after vibrating in delivery trucks.

  • Aqueous and UV Varnish:

    High-gloss, matte, or textured coatings to add luxury shelf contrast.

  • Wet-Strength Barriers:

    Stops board softening and handle tearing under humid conditions.

Tip: We always recommend wet-strength boards for chilled beverage packs. Normal board absorbs fridge moisture and fails; wet-strength retains 90% of its load capacity!

Beverage Protection Engineering

Moisture & Condensation

Wet-strength boards and coatings that maintain integrity in cold chains.

Label Scuffing

Abrasion-resistant varnishes and linerboards tailored to prevent transit vibration scuffs.

Handle Tear-Out

Reinforced top sheets (like CUK) and structural designs supporting the heavy weight of beverage multipacks.

Beverage Sustainability Options

Meet retailer mandates and consumer expectations with verified sustainable choices:

  • Source Reduction: Switch to SFL to achieve 15–20% lighter packaging by eliminating unnecessary liners.
  • Recyclability: Materials engineered for standard OCC streams. We prioritize repulpable coatings and inks.
  • Substrate Guidance: Clear advice on when to use Kraft, SBS, or Recycled grades based on your goals.

Tradeoff Guidance

Heavy film lamination can reduce recyclability. We help you choose water-based barrier coatings that provide perfect moisture resistance while remaining fully repulpable.

Specialized Packaging Technology

Advanced Single Face Lamination (SFL) Engineering

Discover the perfect fusion of visual dominance, light weight, and heavy-duty structural integrity. Our advanced SFL process delivers pristine retail-quality print graphics while securing your product lines at much lower manufacturing costs.

The Science of Single Face Lamination

Single Face Lamination (SFL) represents the pinnacle of modern structural packaging design. Rather than direct printing on thick corrugated cardboards (which leaves unsightly fluting waves and limits print precision), our specialized machinery laminates a high-quality, pre-printed lithographic paper label directly to a single-faced corrugated fluting web. A single-faced corrugated web consists of a single flat layer of kraft paper (liner) pre-bonded to a wave-like fluting medium.

By adhering the flat, high-definition printed top sheet to the exposed flutes of the single-faced web, we build a robust, multi-layer container. This hybrid structure eliminates the common "washboarding" effect of flexographic printing, delivering the extreme mechanical rigidity of corrugated packaging alongside the smooth, high-fidelity surfaces of folding cartons.

Specialized Flute Profiles We Manufacture:

F-Flute(~1/32" thickness)

Micro-fluting provides an ultra-smooth surface, dense support, and precise folds. Perfect for replacing traditional folding cartons with structurally superior containers.

E-Flute(~1/16" thickness)

Superb compression resistance and crushing buffer. Ideal for custom subscription mailers, heavy cosmetics, and retail-ready product displays.

B-Flute(~1/8" thickness)

Maximum vertical stacking strength and puncture protection. Engineered for industrial parts, heavy-duty electronics, and complex logistics.

Uncompromising Graphic Fidelity & Custom Finishes

Direct printing methods like flexography or standard digital print often suffer from dot gain, muddy gradient transitions, and highly limited color ranges. Because our SFL process prints on the top sheet liner while it is entirely flat, our high-speed offset lithography presses run at 175 to 200 line screens. This unlocks razor-sharp fine details, photo-realistic imagery, and flawless metallic overlays.

Beyond high-resolution offset print, we offer extensive post-print visual and sensory embellishments. Enhance your brand with custom **hot foil stamping** (gold, silver, rose gold, holographic), **blind or registered multi-level embossing and debossing** for tactile luxury, **spot UV coatings** to contrast glossy details with matte backgrounds, and eco-friendly soft-touch protective laminations.

Maximum Structural Rigidity at Cheaper Prices

Building traditional solid-board luxury rigid packaging or extra-thick folding cartons (above 24pt) carries steep cost premiums, heavy shipping weights, and highly labor-intensive setup processes. SFL bypasses these barriers entirely, saving you up to 35% on packaging materials while offering equivalent (and often superior) structural stiffness.

SFL achieves this structural strength by utilizing lightweight corrugated mediums and thin, highly sustainable 10-12pt paperboard liners. Since these components are structurally strong but physically lightweight, they reduce transport weights, cut warehouse storage footprints (as they ship completely flat), and significantly lower fuel and transit overheads.
