Custom Box Design, CAD Drawings & Cardboard Profiles

Got a box idea? Let’s draw the thing first.

Before we start cutting cardboard and making things wonderfully real, we can turn your idea, your dimensions or your existing CAD drawing into an accurate cardboard profile. It’s the sensible bit that happens before the satisfying bit.

Our custom box design and CAD drawing services suit product developers, designers, manufacturers and anyone who’d rather find a design problem on a screen than after 500 boxes turn up on a pallet.

What we can draw up for you

  • Custom box and carton design, from a rough idea or a proper brief
  • CAD drawings and technical specifications you can actually build from
  • Cardboard profiles created from your existing CAD drawings
  • Prototypes for product development, then production-ready designs
  • Straight advice on materials, construction and whether it’ll survive a courier
  • Designs drawn with efficient manufacturing in mind, so you’re not paying for wasted board

Already have a drawing? Send it over.

We prefer files in .dxf format, but if you’ve only got dimensions on the back of an envelope, that works too. We’ve started from less.

We’ll turn it into a cardboard profile, tell you honestly if something won’t work, and suggest a fix before anything gets cut.

Got an idea, a drawing, or a vague hand gesture?

Tell us what you’re making and we’ll work out how it should be packed.
