Services: Bags
The following flowchart outlines the services we provide as well as the process we run through with our customers from 'start to finish'.
Appraise Needs
Our professionals will sit down with our customers and listen to what, if any, problems exist with their current packaging, changes they anticipate in their product line-up and improvements they may want in how their products are packaged.
Provide Packaging Solutions
Often our customers are not aware of the latest developments in packaging and are delighted when approached with new designs and materials that enhance the look of their products. It is our job to keep up to date with the world of packaging, and we do so by attending all the significant trade shows in the world, as well as pushing our suppliers to do the same so that they provide us with the latest materials and inks.
Samples and Material
Our customers are provided with samples showing the material that will be used in the process of their orders and obtain their approval before going ahead. This ensures that their packaging equipment will function properly with the new bags.
Art Creation & Design
Chin-Canada Industries Ltd. will take your camera-ready artwork as is or will make changes to suit your preference. We have an in-house art department in our production facility, and we also utilize several design houses that give us tremendous flexibility and professional expertise to work 'from scratch' if necessary to give our customers the exact look they feel properly reflects their company's image.
Rotogravure Plates and Printing
Because gravure is capable of transferring more ink to the paper than other printing processes, gravure is noted for its remarkable density range (light to shadow) and therefore is a process of choice for fine art and photography reproduction. Rotogravure printing is so consistent that colour variations are rare and ink does not smear. Chin-Canada Industries Ltd.’s factory utilizes this process to assure you of the highest quality printing possible.
All your orders are repeatedly inspected right up to when they leave the factory to make sure there are no errors and that you will be completely satisfied when your order arrives.
Logistics and Shipping
All our prices are quoted FOB your company, and we will arrange shipping right to your door, no matter where you are.
After Sales Service
We will periodically contact you to be 100% sure your needs are well taken care of and to see if there are any changes or modifications you anticipate in the future.
Services: Clamshell Packages
The following flowchart outlines the services we provide as well as the process we run through with our customers from 'start to finish'.
R & D Phase
Appraise Customer's Needs
Most companies have a rough idea of what they are looking for in the way of packaging. They just don't know what is possible. We will listen to all ideas and then make suggestions using our extensive experience, which may be as simple as making improvements to our customer's existing packaging design, lowering their packaging cost, or coming up with a completely new design.
Provide Design Ideas
Designs have to take into account many factors; uniqueness, label area, ventilation, contents volume, closing mechanism, sizing for shipping trays and store shelf display. We take all these factors into account when presenting ideas to our customers.
Prepare Drawings
Once we have a basic design idea, we will prepare full 3D Renderings that our customers can manipulate (rotate and resize) which will provide an exact picture of what the proposed design will look like (Link to 3D drawing). Drawings are typically provided within a few days. Changes are made quickly until all agree on a final 'sample' design.
Pre-Production Phase
Provide Label Samples
Our customer will provide artwork for labels, and we will provide samples for approval at no cost.
Provide Clamshell Samples
We will take the approved 3-D drawings and use these to instruct our mould department to make up a single cavity sample mould. From this mould, we will make a number of samples for our customers to test in their packaging facility, as well as for presentation to their Retailers.
Make Changes
There are usually some minor changes that will need to be made to the design once testing has been completed. These could be in sizing, tightness of closing, ventilation, or label placement. We will make the appropriate changes and make another sample mould, at no cost, to arrive at a final approved clamshell.
Production Phase
Have Label Plates Made
Once sample labels have been approved, label plates are made and labels printed.
Make Production Mould
From the approved sample mould, we will make a multi-cavity production mould. This usually takes 2 weeks.
Test Production Run and Adjustments
There are always minor adjustments to make to the production mould in the way of polishing, closing tightness etc. These are taken care of and the final result is a mould ready for production.
Production Run
Based on our customer's order, we will proceed to our production run and have the labels applied.
Logistics - Shipping
We will ship either on pallets or loose boxes in full containers directly to our customer's facility.
After Sales Service
We offer the service of controlling our customer's inventory levels and suggest re-order quantity and timing to ensure our customers never run out of clamshells. Any issues are taken care of promptly.
