Impressive Packaging – Custom Designed.
Self-assembly corrugated cardboard boxes are practical and versatile packaging solutions for a wide range of products and industries. They are delivered flat-packed, can be assembled quickly and easily, and provide reliable protection during storage, shipping and transport. At prima, we develop and manufacture custom self-assembly boxes tailored to your products, packaging processes and supply chain requirements.
Self-assembly boxes are characterised by their ease of handling and versatile designs. Depending on the construction, the base or side panels are folded or slotted into place during assembly, quickly creating a sturdy and secure box.
This makes self-assembly corrugated boxes suitable for manual packing operations as well as applications where easy handling and space-saving storage of packaging materials are essential.

Custom Packaging Solutions – Perfectly Tailored to Your Product
Unlocking the full potential of your packaging goes beyond choosing the right corrugated board or box design. It requires a thorough understanding of your product’s specific requirements and the demands of your market. Drawing on our extensive experience from numerous packaging projects, we develop custom packaging solutions that deliver far more than the sum of their individual components.
We take the following factors into account:
- The selection of different flute profiles to find the ideal corrugated board for your product, providing maximum protection while minimising material consumption. This not only helps protect the environment but also reduces costs and improves storage and transport efficiency.
- Packaging design and aesthetics to ensure that your packaging is not only functional but also visually appealing and strengthens your brand identity.
- The choice of printing process that best suits your product and the required production volume.
- Functionality through the integration of features such as reclosable closures, carrying handles, stackability and easy handling to improve user convenience and increase customer satisfaction.
- Your existing product and packaging portfolio, ensuring that new packaging solutions complement your current range.
- Compatibility with existing packaging machinery or production lines.
- Safety and regulatory compliance, ensuring that all packaging meets applicable legal requirements.
- Sustainability through the use of recycled or biodegradable materials to reduce environmental impact.
- Production efficiency by optimising packaging designs for simple and cost-effective manufacturing, reducing production times and costs while improving availability.
- Logistics efficiency by optimising packaging dimensions and shapes to lower logistics costs and reduce the environmental footprint.
