Industry packaging
Household & personal care packaging.
Printed cartons and shipping cases for everyday home and personal-care products.
Detergents, soaps, lotions and cosmetics compete for attention on Ethiopia’s shelves, so their boxes have to carry the brand as well as protect the bottle, tube or jar inside.
We make colour boxes and printed cartons for the shelf and corrugated cases for distribution, planned together so the retail pack and the shipper fit.
Buyer priorities
What your packaging must do.
- 01
Strong shelf presentation and readable information
- 02
Fit around bottles, tubes, jars or sachets
- 03
Transport protection for grouped primary packs
- 04
Efficient case and pallet use
From problem to response
Design around the actual load.
Retail colour varies between runs.
Set realistic print expectations and approve proofs against the selected substrate.
Cases waste warehouse and truck space.
Coordinate primary-pack count, case dimensions and pallet pattern.
Recommended packaging
A practical place to start.
Final construction depends on the packed product, quantity, route and approved specification.

- Approve artwork and dimensions against a physical sample.
- State any chemical exposure or special handling need before material selection.
Buyer questions
Before you request a quote.
Can you make both the retail carton and the shipping case?
Eastern Dragon offers printed board packs and corrugated cases. Share both formats so they can be reviewed as a system.
Can we approve colour before the run?
Artwork and proof approval should be completed before production; colour expectations depend on process and substrate.
What if the product is a liquid?
Share the primary container, closure, orientation and any leak-risk requirement. The outer carton does not replace a sound primary container.
Discuss your requirement
Plan shelf pack and shipper together.
Share the primary container, units per case, artwork and delivery route.
