Where NEXO can help

When China-side execution becomes complicated.

The value is not simply finding a factory. It is helping a project move from an idea to a reliable, workable and coordinated result.

Design-to-production gap

Turning a visual concept into a structure and material solution that can be produced reliably.

Too many suppliers

Coordinating multiple components, samples and suppliers through one China-side contact.

Production problems

Investigating colour, material, sampling or bulk-production issues locally.

Local coordination

Following sampling, approvals, production progress, quality and shipment.

Compliance documentation

Collecting supplier declarations, test evidence and material records.

Finishing & kitting

Coordinating product insertion, ribbon attachment, rework, labelling and final assembly.

Two ways to work together

Support that fits the project.

End-to-end China support

For teams without a full China-side operation

One point of coordination from sourcing and development through production, consolidation and shipment.

Project-based support

For established brands with existing suppliers

Additional local execution for special developments, troubleshooting, benchmarking, rework or temporary support.

Packaging capabilities

Core paper packaging capabilities for retail brands.

Folding cartons, cards & tags, paper hangers, paper bags and mid-market rigid boxes are the core focus — developed around each client’s project rather than sold as stock items.

Rigid Boxes

Presentation & jewellery boxes

Drawer boxes, lid-and-base formats, inserts and coordinated box families.

Folding Cartons

Retail presentation packaging

Window cartons, hanging packs and production-friendly folding structures.

Paper Bags

Retail & gift bags

Kraft, coated and specialty paper bags with cord, ribbon or textile handles.

Paper Hangers

Garment & footwear solutions

Paper-based hanging structures for apparel, slippers and accessories.

Cards & Tags

Retail presentation cards

Jewellery cards, hanging cards, product cards and retail display solutions.

Corrugated Packaging

Retail & display structures

Printed corrugated packs, window formats and shelf-ready structures.

Manufacturing strength in China

Hands-on project leadership, backed by established paper-packaging production.

NEXO is led by Sofia and supported by an established paper-packaging manufacturing team in China. The combination brings together direct project ownership, broad material capability, highly automated production and hands-on support from sampling through bulk production.

Paper packaging manufacturing workshop
Up to 95% automated

Automation across key paper-packaging processes supports production consistency, efficiency and volume capability.

Broad paper capability

Rigid boxes, folding cartons, paper bags, cards, tags, paper hangers and related paper-based formats.

Flexible development

Material comparison, sampling, colour follow-up, finishing coordination and production troubleshooting.

Competitive China production

Cost-conscious manufacturing with direct China-side coordination from development through shipment.

Compliance & responsible production
FSC® certified sourcing BSCI audited SEDEX / SMETA GRS material options PPWR documentation support SGS / BV testing support

PPWR is not presented as a certification. Support focuses on material declarations, supplier documentation, testing evidence and packaging data needed for European compliance work.

Print & finishing details

Surface details that change how packaging feels.

Spot UV

Selective gloss accents over printed or matte surfaces to create contrast and depth.

Hot Foil Stamping

Metallic foil for logos, typography and decorative details with a premium reflective finish.

Embossing / Debossing

Raised or recessed details that add tactile definition without relying on colour.

Other finishing options can include matte or gloss lamination, anti-scratch matte lamination, soft-touch effects and water-based varnish. These are generally easier to evaluate through physical samples than a single photograph.

Selected case studies

Projects, not just products.

The strongest proof is seeing how a problem was identified, developed and solved.

Each case is shown with a concise Challenge / Solution / Result. The first case also includes a short assembly video.

Design to Production

Turning a concept into a production-ready kit

Structural development, cost optimisation, functional testing and multi-supplier coordination.

Challenge

The original concept included structural details that were difficult to manufacture reliably and cost-effectively.

Solution

The structure was reworked, functional samples were tested with the actual toy components, and multiple suppliers were coordinated in parallel.

Result

The final solution preserved the design intent while improving manufacturability, packing efficiency and overall project control.

Final assembly process
Functional Testing

Testing the specification against real use

A 2000g hanger failed under load; a revised 2500g version was validated before approval.

Challenge

The client specified 2000g board for a paper footwear hanger, but the intended load suggested the material could deform.

Solution

A 2000g sample was tested with the actual slippers. After deformation was confirmed, the board was increased to 2500g and tested again for three days.

Result

The revised 2500g version remained stable and was then submitted for client approval.

Integrated Sourcing

Coordinating a multi-component story kit

Material selection, textile and printed components, parallel suppliers and final set coordination.

Challenge

The initial brief contained reference sizes and samples, but several components lacked detailed material and production specifications.

Solution

Materials were proposed, textile and printed components were developed, and several suppliers were coordinated through sampling and production.

Result

The client reviewed and approved samples while the China-side components were managed as one coordinated project.

Production Problem Solving

When an approved sample behaves differently in bulk

Material stiffness and manual folding created surface marks in a small production run.

Challenge

A laminated 250gsm paper bag sample was approved, but pressure marks appeared during a small bulk-production run.

Solution

The issue was traced to the combination of material stiffness and manual folding required for the relatively small order quantity.

Result

For future small-volume runs, 200gsm white card was recommended to improve foldability and reduce marking risk.

“Hands-on project leadership, backed by strong manufacturing capability.”

About

A practical bridge between design intent and manufacturing reality.

NEXO is led by Sofia, bringing together hands-on packaging expertise and established manufacturing resources in China.

Sofia leads client communication, development, sourcing and project coordination, while an experienced manufacturing team provides the production capacity behind paper-packaging projects. The goal is simple: understand what the client needs, identify risks early and keep the project moving through sampling, approval, production, quality control and final delivery.
