Packaging company that can create bespoke packaging / work closely with

[thegamesanctum]

Hey people,

First post here. Hoping to find some like-minded entrepreneurs within the e-commerce (specifically gaming/tech) industry.

My name is Rich, I run a gaming brand called The Game Sanctum. We mostly sell truly refurbished consoles to a very high standard but we also dabble in private labelling with the goal of eventually designing/creating our own products.

I've done a lot of research into product packaging and we have tried a few different companies but never really found a company that can create something bespoke or a company we can work more closely with. Sales emails from packaging companies usually just end up with them sending us links to their products.

I'm specifically hoping to find a company that we can simply send our already-made packaging to, they can then recreate it exactly as the box is and simply rebrand it with our packaging. We buy a lot of clearance stock from companies that no longer exist and would like to rebrand them to give them a new life. We want to move to properly printed packaging rather than plain boxes with stickers on.

We're also looking for a bespoke box design for our consoles as we sell a lot of Unboxed consoles. We're heavily focussed on only using paper/cardboard packaging as we're selling Refurbished stock. I'd like something that would "wow" our customers rather just a box with a console and a bunch of paper packaging.

Maybe somebody here could recommend some decent companies? Hoping to work with smaller, UK based companies.

Cheers!
Rich

What sort of order quantities are you looking at?

I suspect it will need to be in the thousands to attract real interest

Otherwise, look at wrapping?

I get exactly what you want here, as I know a chap who does similar with different products. Reach out to Richard at this firm. Tell him his pal in Manchester pointed you towards him. He has guys who do exactly what you want. Ask him nicely, and he'll probably put you in touch with who you want.

I'm based in China, and there's a cardboard box factory right downstairs from me. If you have any custom packaging needs, feel free to reach out — I can place the order for you here in China.
