Packaging manufacturers in NRW: what matters when choosing a supplier

Proximity makes collaboration easier

A location in North Rhine-Westphalia can make face-to-face coordination, sampling and trials easier. For customers further afield, predictable logistics, clearly identified contacts and transparent project management are also important.

Hubert von Carnap develops and produces in Windeck-Mauel in the Rhein-Sieg district. From there, we serve industrial companies in NRW and beyond.

Selection criteria for custom folding cartons

A suitable partner should be able to do more than print an existing design: it should be able to assess structural design, material and processing in relation to the product and the customer's equipment.

• Technical packaging development and sample making
• Experience with solid board and offset printing
• Coordination of die cutting, embossing and folding-carton gluing
• Traceable approvals and dedicated contacts
• Project-specific material and quality documentation
• Realistic planning of production quantities, delivery batches and schedules

Compare the actual scope of services

Terms such as ‘full service’ are not unambiguous. Before awarding a contract, it should therefore be clarified which operations actually take place at the factory and which are coordinated through partners.

At HvC, development, offset printing, die cutting, embossing and gluing take place at the Windeck site. We coordinate hot-foil stamping and relief varnish through specialist partners where required. We do not offer filling, fulfilment or the packing of customer products.
