Packaging Design & Engineering Capability

In-house packaging structural design & engineering: free dieline, 3D mockup, rapid prototyping and prepress for OEM/ODM custom packaging.

Packaging Design & Engineering — Our OEM / ODM Capability

Most packaging suppliers wait for your print-ready file. We start earlier. RainRan runs an in-house structural design and prepress team that turns a product, a sketch or even a rough idea into a manufacturable, shelf-ready and shipping-tested package — then produces it across our specialised production network in China.

Four Design Disciplines Under One Roof

1. Structural Engineering

We design the box, not just print on it. Our engineers model wall thickness, locking mechanisms, insert geometry and stacking strength so your package survives long-haul freight to Jakarta, Dubai, Almaty or São Paulo.

2. Graphic & Prepress

Artwork adaptation, colour separation, trapping, overprint control and imposition. We fix low-resolution logos, rebuild vector artwork and prepare production-grade files — even if all you have is a JPEG.

3. Material Engineering

Board grade, flute selection, laminate structure, barrier film and adhesive systems are chosen against your product weight, shelf life, humidity exposure and target cost — not by default.

4. Prototyping & Testing

CNC sample cutting for one-off physical prototypes, plus drop tests, compression tests and seal integrity checks before we release any tooling.


Our Design Workflow — From Idea to Production File

Stage What We Do You Receive Lead Time
1. Discovery We collect product dimensions, weight, fragility, shipping route, target market and budget. Material & structure recommendation Same day
2. Structural Design CAD structural drawing, dieline creation, insert engineering, tolerance calculation. Editable dieline (AI / PDF / DXF) 24–48 hours
3. Visual Design Artwork placement, colour management, finish simulation (foil, spot UV, emboss). 3D rendered mockup 2–3 days
4. Prototype CNC-cut and hand-assembled physical sample in the real material. Physical sample, courier to your door 5–7 days
5. Pre-Production Colour proof, tooling confirmation, production file lock. Signed-off proof 2–3 days
6. Mass Production Printing, die-cutting, finishing, assembly, inline QC. Photo QC report before shipment 10–15 days

Manufacturing & Finishing Capability

Design is only valuable if it can actually be produced at price. Our production network covers the full process chain so your design never gets watered down at the factory stage.

Printing

  • Offset CMYK & Pantone spot colour
  • Flexographic printing for corrugated & film
  • Digital printing for short runs and versioning
  • Rotogravure for flexible pouches

Finishing

  • Matte / gloss / soft-touch lamination
  • Hot foil stamping — gold, silver, holographic
  • Embossing & debossing
  • Spot UV, textured varnish, window patching

Converting

  • Automatic die-cutting & creasing
  • Rigid box wrapping & assembly
  • Gluing, hand-assembly, ribbon & magnet insertion
  • Roll-to-roll label die-cutting

Materials

  • Art paper, kraft, specialty & textured paper
  • Greyboard 1000–2000 gsm
  • E / B / C / EB flute corrugated
  • Food-grade laminated films, PET, BOPP, aluminium foil

Quality Control at Every Stage

Incoming Material

Board grammage, moisture content and film thickness verified against spec before production starts.

In-Line Inspection

Colour density measured against the approved proof; registration, creasing and glue lines checked at fixed intervals.

Pre-Shipment AQL

Full AQL 2.5 inspection with a photo report sent to you before the container is sealed. Nothing ships without your sign-off.


Compliance & Certification

  • FSC-certified paper and board available on request
  • Food-grade materials and migration-compliant inks for direct-contact packaging
  • ISO 9001 quality management within our partner production facilities
  • Soy-based and water-based inks for low-VOC, recyclable structures
  • Full export documentation for ASEAN, GCC, CIS and LATAM customs requirements
