Finishing & converting
Hot-stamp foil, blind and registered emboss, die-cutting, window patching, fold-and-glue. Your carton ships finished, packed, and ready for the co-packer.
Finishing is where a carton stops looking printed and starts looking premium — and it's where most brokers lose control, because each step happens at a different subcontractor. We do it under one roof: hot-stamp foil, blind and registered embossing, die-cutting, window patching, and fold-and-glue. Your carton leaves finished, packed, and ready for the co-packer on a single purchase order.
Keeping converting in-house isn't just convenient — it protects quality and the schedule. Registered emboss lands exactly on the printed element because the same team holds the press sheet and the embossing die. There's no shipping cartons across town between steps, no finger-pointing when foil registration drifts, and no extra freight leg padding your cost. One PO, one accountable team, one delivery date.
Frequently asked questions
- Which finishing processes do you run in-house?
- Hot-stamp foil, blind and registered emboss/deboss, die-cutting, window patching, and fold-and-glue — all in our Montreal plant, on one PO.
- Can I combine foil, emboss, and a window on one carton?
- Yes — and because it's all in-house, registered effects line up precisely and the schedule doesn't depend on a chain of subcontractors.
- Do cartons arrive flat or glued?
- However your line needs them — flat for hand-erect, or fold-and-glued and packed for auto-load at your co-packer.
- Does in-house finishing actually save time?
- Yes — no inter-shop freight between print and finishing, no scheduling around third parties, and one team accountable for the final delivery date.
