Carton Consulting
Our consulting and design method uses the Reverse Engineering process developed by Press Proof in the late 1980’s, as part of its best practices, developed from years of research and industry experience. It prevents common industry errors before going to press. We apply the DREMIC (Define, Review, Examine, Measure, Improve, and Control) approach to label development.
Define: Critical to Quality (CTQ) issues ...Plan the process
Review: Review original specifications and product for conformity to expectations
Examine/Evaluate: Prioritize CTQ issues, Identify sources of error or variation
Measure: Compare desired and actual data / results, Determine frequency of measurement
Improve: Stability over time
Control: Documentation and monitoring plan
Our process evaluates the desired end product and then develops, implements and monitors all the necessary print production steps required to meet the intended purpose. Press Proof’s Reverse Engineering encompasses every detail of the printing process starting with a production brief to achieve the maximum outcome of the design.
We offer free carton consultation. See uncut workshop videos for examples of the creative process.

Defining The Message
Our team will work with you to establish the criteria that will guide the process of creating your new custom packaging design. Information will be gathered from phone interview(s) emails and a brief questionnaire. Through this process, we will identify specific communication and aesthetic criteria.
Questionnaire & Creative Brief
Before beginning design work, the project's functions and goals must be identified. To help clarify these objectives, we first define your target audience, core message and theme, as well as the company's or product's "personality". This information will provided the criteria which will guide the design process.

The Importance Of Design
The quality of the design and production should encourage conscious action on the part of the target audience. Quality and clarity become both a form of promotion and an expression of the label's goals. Our team will work in collaboration with you to ensure that all materials produced support this goal.
Concept Development
Following our questionnaire review and interviews with you, our design team will create and present 3 initial concepts for discussion. The goal at this point is to select one of the concepts for further design development.
Design Development
Following approval of 1 of the 3 concepts, and upon receipt of all final copy writing, our design team will begin a 2 to 3 round presentation and review process based on the chosen concept. Changes will be discussed and agreed upon at each presentation. Each subsequent presentation will incorporate all changes from the previous presentation. If any project requires more rounds of changes or a completely new concept at this stage, additional fees will apply above and over the original fixed price.
Artwork Finalization
After the changes from the last presentation are completed, reviewed and approved, the project will be considered finished. Our design team will send you a copy of the completed artwork & proof for final written approval and with your approval will forward the artwork to our pre-press department with all the specifications needed to run the job correctly.
