Our Packaging Process

From Order to Delivery

Give us your requirement, and we’ll handle the rest—clearly, quickly, and with full transparency. Here’s exactly what happens after you place an order with BioMatrix Packaging

1. Requirement Capture & Expert Guidance

Goal: Understand your product, protection needs, branding, and budget.

  • What we ask for: Product dimensions (L × W × H – internal size), weight, quantity, stacking/lifting method, shipping route (local/export), and if moisture or cold-chain is involved.
  • Box style: RSC (regular shipping), HSC (top-load), Die-cut/Mailer (e-commerce), FPF (long/heavy), Trays (display), Pallet Boxes (bulk).
  • Strength configuration: Ply (3/5/7/9) + Flute (A/B/C/E/F/Z) based on cushioning vs. stacking needs.
  • Printing: Logo, artwork, brand colors, handling icons, barcodes/QR, and surface finish (matte/gloss/aqueous).
  • Add-ons (optional): Tear tape, handle cut-outs, partitions, corner pads, water-resistant coating, anti-fungal treatment.
  • Outcome: A recommended box spec matched to your use case.

How to measure: Length (L) × Width (W) × Height (H) are internal dimensions to ensure a perfect fit.

 Requirement Capture & Expert Guidance

2. Quotation & Commercials

Goal: Provide a clear, no-surprise proposal.

  • What you get: Unit price, bundle/pack size, MOQ, printing coverage, board spec (paper GSM/BF, ply/flute), lead time estimate, delivery charges, and taxes.
  • Documents: Formal quotation + draft spec sheet for approval.
  • Tip: Share annual/quarterly forecast for best pricing and capacity blocking.
Quotation & Commercials

3. Sampling / Prototype (If Needed)

Goal: Validate fit, strength, and print quality before mass production.

  • Types: White sample (unprinted dieline), printed color proof, or short-run pilot.
  • We check together: Size tolerance, board stiffness, crease/fold, closure fit, and branding placement.
  • Outcome: Your sign-off on dieline, artwork, and material spec.
Sampling / Prototype (If Needed)

4. Purchase Order & Artwork Approval

Goal: Lock specs so production can start smoothly.

  • PO + Spec Freeze: Final dimensions, style, ply/flute, paper grades (GSM/BF), print colors (Pantone/CMYK), finishing, quantity, and delivery window.
  • Artwork: We share a print proof (PDF/soft proof) showing print positions, bleed, safe margins, barcodes, and icons.
  • Approval: You approve via email/WhatsApp with “OK to Print/Produce”.
Purchase Order & Artwork Approval

5. Material Planning & Procurement

Goal: Ensure the right papers, inks, and adhesives are available on time.

  • Papers: High-strength kraft liners and fluting medium as per spec (GSM/BF/COBB targets).
  • Consumables: Starch-based adhesive, inks, varnish/coatings, staples/glue.
  • Traceability: Internal lot codes for every input for audit and repeatability.
Material Planning & Procurement

6. Production Scheduling

Goal: Reserve machine time and manpower for on-time dispatch.

  • Batch planning: Corrugation → printing → slotting/creasing → die-cut (if any) → folding → gluing/stitching → bundling.
  • Capacity: We plan for peak loads; urgent jobs can be prioritized with prior agreement.
Production Scheduling

7. Corrugation – Making the Board

Goal: Create strong, consistent corrugated sheets.

  • Process: Paper passes through heated corrugating rolls to form the flute, then is glued to liners to form 3/5/7/9-ply boards.
  • Flute selection:
    • A (~4.8 mm) : Best cushioning
    • B (~3.2 mm) : High crush resistance
    • C (~4.0 mm) : Balanced, most common
    • E (~1.6 mm) : Thin, great for printing
    • F (~0.8 mm) : Ultra-thin, premium packs
    • Z : Hybrid/special needs
  • Controls: Temperature, moisture, and adhesive application for bond strength.
Corrugation – Making the Board

8. Printing

Goal: Crisp, brand-true graphics.

  • Methods: Flexographic (most common) or offset (for very fine graphics on liners).
  • We manage: Color targets (Pantone/CMYK), registration, halftones, barcodes/QR readability, and mandatory marks (FSSAI, fragile, up arrows, etc., as applicable).
Printing

9. Cutting, Creasing & Die-Cutting

Goal: Accurate shape and easy folding.

  • Slotting/creasing: For RSC/HSC styles—creates fold lines and flaps.
  • Die-cutting: For mailers, trays, windows, handles, perforations.
  • Tolerances: Maintained for snug fit and efficient line packing.
Cutting, Creasing & Die-Cutting

10. Folding, Gluing & Stitching

Goal: trong joints and clean finish.

  • Gluing: High-bond adhesive for speed and neatness.
  • Stitching (if specified): Metal staples for extra-heavy cartons.
  • Inserts/partitions: Added here when required.
Folding, Gluing & Stitching

11. In-Process & Final Quality Checks

Goal: Every box that leaves us performs as promised.

  • Board checks: GSM, ECT (Edge Crush Test), BCT (Box Compression Test – sample), bursting strength, moisture, flute integrity, bond.
  • Print checks: Color density, registration, scuff resistance, barcode verification.
  • Dimensional checks: L × W × H tolerance, squareness, crease quality, flap overlap.
  • AQL sampling: Documented inspection before packing.
In-Process & Final Quality Checks

12. Bundling, Packing & Palletization

Goal: Safe transit to your facility.

  • Bundling: Standard counts (e.g., 10/20 pcs) or as requested.
  • Strapping & wrapping: For stability and dust/moisture protection.
  • Pallets: As needed—ISPM-15 treated wood pallets for export (on request).
  • Labels: Item code, batch/lot, qty, Mfg date, and your PO reference for traceability.
Bundling, Packing & Palletization

13. Dispatch & Delivery

Goal: On-time, intact delivery.

  • Logistics: Own fleet/partner carriers based on volume and distance.
  • Coordination: Advance intimation, delivery challan, e-invoice/e-waybill where applicable.
  • Unloading: Coordination for safe handling; we guide your team on stacking height and storage.
Dispatch & Delivery

14. Post-Delivery Support & Reorders

Goal: Keep your lines running smoothly.

  • First delivery feedback: Fit, line speed, stacking, damage rates.
  • Stock planning: We can set reorder points or standing schedules to avoid stock-outs.
  • Repeat orders: Simple—share PO or “repeat last spec” with quantity and delivery date.
