Packaging formats
Boxes, sleeves, inserts, pouches and related branded components, subject to structure, material, print method and packing requirements.
Print specification · packaging · supplier handoff
Turn approved brand assets into production-ready print requirements.
Printing outcomes depend on more than artwork. Size, substrate, adhesive, finish, colour method, tolerances, finishing, packing and use conditions must align. Alfabitnets can help organize those decisions and coordinate the handoff to eligible production partners.
- Define the use caseProduct, environment, handling and expected life.
- Lock the specificationDimensions, material, finish, quantity and artwork.
- Approve before releaseProofs, samples and tolerances where applicable.

Production support
Structure the specification before comparing suppliers or prices.
A lower unit price can be irrelevant if the material, tolerance, adhesive or finishing route does not suit the actual application.
Labels & stickers
Paper, film, vinyl, security and decorative labels with application-specific adhesive, finish, shape and variable-data requirements.
Commercial print
Sales collateral, cards, folders, presentations and selected promotional formats prepared around approved dimensions and content.
Prepress & handoff
File checks, bleed and safe-area logic, colour setup, linked assets, font handling, dielines and supplier communication where included.
Quality gates
Approval should happen at the right level of evidence.
Digital proofUseful for copy, layout, dimensions and content hierarchy; not conclusive for physical colour or material behaviour.
Physical sampleUseful for substrate, finish, adhesive and construction review; may carry separate cost and lead time.
Production toleranceSpecify acceptable variation for colour, registration, cutting, placement, count and packing where commercially material.
Release recordKeep the approved file, proof, revision, date and decision owner linked to the production order.

Production reality
Screen appearance is not a physical sample.
Colour, reflectivity, texture, adhesion and durability vary with material, process, batch, lighting and application. Critical attributes should be defined and tested before volume production.
