A.R Packaging
Packaging engineered to be remembered.
We work across structural engineering, printing, finishing, quality control and scalable manufacturing — so the box you approve as a sample is the box that arrives on your production line.
Every project begins with the product itself: its weight, its fragility and the order in which it should be revealed. From there we resolve the die-line, the board, the finishing and the insert, and prove it with a physical prototype before tooling is cut.
Box Types
Structures we build.
Eight core constructions, each adapted to the product, the quantity and the way the box will be handled.
Our Work in 3D
Boxes we have produced.
Rigid boxes, magnetic closures, slider drawers, perfume packs and corporate gifting — photographed from our own production.
Industry Solutions
Built around how your category is handled.
Board, finishing and insert decisions change with the product. These are the categories we work in most often.
Beauty and Cosmetics
Secondary packaging that survives retail handling and looks unhandled on shelf.
Explore
Perfume and Fragrance
Rigid structures and precise inserts for heavy glass and delicate caps.
Explore

Small-format rigid boxes with fabric lining and secure product retention.
Explore
Food and Confectionery
Food-grade board, food-safe inks and structures built for chilled or ambient.

ExplorePrototyping
From reference to real prototype.
Share a sketch, photograph, existing box or product dimensions. Our team will guide you through the structure, materials, finishing, sampling and production process.
How We Work
Six steps from requirement to dispatch.
A single sequence, followed on every project, so you always know what is being decided and when.
- 01
Share Your Requirement
Send a sketch, photograph, existing box or product dimensions. We confirm quantity, budget range and timeline.
- 02
Structure and Design
We develop the die-line around the product, resolve wall thickness and tolerance, and share artwork templates.
- 03
Material and Finish Selection
Board, wrap, lining and finishing are chosen together against the product weight, shelf life and handling.
- 04
Prototype Development
A physical sample is produced in the specified materials, packed with the product and reviewed with you.
- 05
Approval and Production
Once the prototype and artwork are signed off, tooling is cut and the run is scheduled.
- 06
Quality Check and Dispatch
Inline and final inspection against the approved sample, then packing, documentation and dispatch.
Selected Work
Projects, structures and finishing.
Case study details are published once the client has approved them. Placeholder fields are marked clearly.
Infrastructure
Capabilities under one roof.
Printing, die cutting, gumming, foiling, finishing and inspection are handled in sequence, which keeps tolerances and colour consistent across a run.
Die Cutting
Flat-bed die cutting for rigid board, folding carton and insert components.
Automatic Gumming
Straight-line and crash-lock gluing for folding carton volume runs.
Corner Taping
Rigid box corner taping for square, consistent walls before wrapping.
Foil Stamping
Hot foil in gold, silver and pigment foils, on flat and embossed areas.
Embossing and Debossing
Single and multi-level tooling for tactile logos, patterns and borders.
Printing
Offset and digital printing with lamination, aqueous and UV coating options.
Quality Inspection
Sample-based inline checks and a final inspection against the approved prototype.
Assembly and Dispatch
Insert fitting, kitting, cellophane finishing, cartoning and dispatch documentation.
Materials and Finishes
The surface is part of the structure.
Finishing decisions are made against the board and the wrap, not chosen afterwards from a list.
Textured Paper
Linen, felt, laid and hand-made stocks that read through the wrap.
Foil Stamping
Metallic and pigment foils applied under heat and pressure.
Embossing
Raised relief tooling for logos, monograms and pattern fields.
Debossing
Recessed detail, on its own or registered under foil.
Spot UV
High-gloss varnish held to specific artwork areas for contrast.
Soft-Touch Lamination
A matte, velvet-feel film that resists fingerprints.
Magnetic Closure
Concealed magnets sized to the lid weight and flap length.
Fabric Lining
Velvet, suedette and linen linings for trays and pads.
Custom Inserts
Die-cut card, EVA foam, moulded pulp and thermoformed trays.
Sustainable Paper
Recycled and recyclable stocks with mono-material construction.
Sustainability
Responsible material choices, made at the design stage.
The most effective reduction happens before production: fewer materials, simpler separation and less waste on the sheet.
- Recyclable, mono-material constructions wherever the product allows
- Recycled and responsibly sourced paper stocks
- Die-line nesting to reduce board waste per sheet
- Right-sized structures that cut shipping volume
- Reduced plastic in inserts, with paper and moulded pulp alternatives
