Custom Packaging Built Around a Tight Product-Launch Timeline
An Ireland-based customer needed distinctive rigid packaging for a premium knife collection ahead of an upcoming product launch.
The project required more than a standard rigid box. The packaging needed a custom coffin-style structure, original packaging artwork, a premium tactile finish and accelerated production after the design-revision stage created additional time pressure.
BoxBaba supported the project from artwork development and revisions through rush production, quality assurance, dispatch and delivery to Ireland.
Project Overview
Customer: Ireland-based premium knife collection customer
Location: Ireland
Project: Premium knife collection packaging
Packaging Type: Custom two-piece coffin-style rigid box
Dimensions: 9.5 × 4 × 1.5 in
Material: 1800 GSM rigid board

Order Type: Rush production
Production Completed: September 11, 2026

The Challenge
The customer needed custom packaging that matched the premium positioning and distinctive character of the knife collection.
A generic rigid box would not provide the presentation required for the project.
The packaging needed to:
- Use a distinctive coffin-style rigid structure
- Complement the visual character of the product
- Include original packaging artwork
- Provide a premium tactile finish
- Allow for design revisions before production
- Move into production quickly after approval
- Reach the customer before the reported product-launch deadline
Because revisions had already affected the schedule, the remaining design, production and shipping stages needed to be closely coordinated.
The Packaging Solution
BoxBaba developed a custom two-piece rigid boxes in a coffin-style format.
The supplied dimensions were:
9.5 × 4 × 1.5 inches
The structure used 1800 GSM rigid board, giving the packaging the substantial construction required for a premium presentation.
The printing specification was:
2/2 color printing
The surface was completed with soft-touch lamination, creating a smooth tactile finish suited to the presentation-focused rigid structure.
For brands requiring other premium presentation formats, BoxBaba also offers a wider range of custom rigid packaging.
Original Packaging Artwork and Design Support
The customer required artwork developed specifically for the packaging project.
BoxBaba design team prepared original packaging artwork intended to complement the visual identity and appearance of the knife collection.
The design process included:
- Packaging artwork development
- Structural layout preparation
- Artwork positioning
- Design-to-production coordination
- Two design revisions
The customer received two revisions without an additional design charge.
The exact proof format used during approval was not recorded, so no unsupported claim about a PDF proof, 3D rendering or physical sample is made here.
Rush Production After Design Approval
Once the design-approval stage was complete, the project was prioritized for rush production.
The order was placed on:
September 7, 2026
Production was completed on:
September 11, 2026
This placed the project on an accelerated production schedule compared with BoxBaba normal standard-production timeline.
Quality assurance was completed on the same day as production completion.
Same-Day QA and Dispatch
After production, the packaging went through the project quality-assurance stage.
QA was completed on:
September 11, 2026
The order was also dispatched on the same day under the reported rush arrangement.
The exact courier and shipping service were not included in the project record, so they are not stated here.
Delivery to Ireland
The completed rigid boxes were delivered in Ireland on:
September 15, 2026
The project record indicates that the packaging arrived before the customer reported product-launch deadline.
The project therefore moved from the September 7 order date through artwork coordination, rush production, quality assurance and delivery by September 15.
The Result
The completed project delivered custom rigid packaging developed specifically for the customer premium knife collection and launch requirements.
The final packaging combined:
- Custom coffin-style rigid construction
- 1800 GSM rigid board
- 2/2 color printing
- Soft-touch lamination
- Original packaging artwork
- Two design revisions
- Rush production
- Same-day quality assurance and dispatch
- Delivery to Ireland before the reported launch deadline
The project demonstrates how design support, custom rigid construction and coordinated production scheduling can be brought together when a packaging project has a time-sensitive requirement.
No unsupported claims are made about sales growth, conversion improvements, product safety or other commercial outcomes that were not measured in the project record.
