**Case Study: Sleeve Box (1)** This is a case where we received an order for a **clip-specific sleeve box (4 types in total)** from a customer who is a precision metal processing manufacturer, featuring a retro world view. To assist a customer who was confused about their first packaging production, we accompanied them through the following processes to achieve both "ideal texture" and "practical holding power." Visualization of the image and paper selection: In response to the abstract request for a "retro feel," we presented multiple reference samples. By allowing them to physically compare the samples, we were able to quickly confirm the ideal direction. Thorough adjustments based on the actual product: Initially, we faced the challenge of the clips falling out. However, by checking the actual product, we redesigned the size down to the millimeter. After submitting multiple adjustment samples, we arrived at the optimal holding feel that ensured "the clips do not fall out even when shaken, while still being easy to insert and remove." Adaptation to a variety of designs: In response to the specifications of four different designs, we conducted careful color proofs, achieving a quality that received feedback from the customer stating, "the colors are perfect." We were not just an order-taking company; we embodied the customer's commitment as a "manufacturing partner" that persistently responds to unexpected challenges.

**Case Study: Sleeve Box (2)** *Pattern with Sleeve Only (No Body Box)* This is a case where we received an order for paper sleeves to be attached to plastic containers for food from a customer engaged in wholesale synthetic resin products. To address a challenging case where discussions with three other companies did not yield satisfactory cost solutions for containers lacking sufficient label application area, we led the resolution through the following process: **Optimization Based on Actual Products:** We received two types of actual containers (square and round) along with sleeves from other companies, and we adjusted the shape down to the millimeter to secure the display area while ensuring ease of attachment. **Thorough Cost Adjustment:** In response to the initial desired price range (below \$9.00 to \$10.00), we reconsidered the specifications and estimates by changing the surface processing. We achieved a price that the customer found acceptable. **Support for First Paper Product Order:** We carefully addressed the customer's detailed concerns, such as the reuse of foil plates and the presence of machine calibration, as we progressed. Ultimately, we arrived at a high-quality specification that combined solid black printing with foil stamping. We delivered a sleeve with side application using "NEW Pigeon (260g)." This case has established us as a trusted partner for future expansion, with plans for full-color development.

Case Study: Corner-Sealed Box (1) We received an order for the production of color cosmetic boxes with brand logos for medical-related products. In response to the needs for small lots and a focus on quality, we addressed the situation with the following examples. Proposal for Specification Improvement: We examined the sample of the plain box provided and pointed out that the existing paper thickness was insufficient for strength. Anticipating use in medical settings, we proposed a change to a thicker paper to enhance strength. Proposal Using Physical Samples: We presented paper thickness samples using actual products from major industry manufacturers to share a concrete quality image and foster trust. Cost and Quality Alignment: While adhering to the desired price range, we made adjustments with estimates that included multiple price ranges to identify the optimal specifications that could ensure strength. As a result, they appreciated our quality and support system and placed an order with us as a new packaging partner.

[Case Study: Other Shapes (1)] This is an example of a customer who provides amenities to over 3,000 hotels nationwide and chose our company as a partner to meet the request of their business partner to create a "carefully crafted original box." In the high-end amenities market, where they were not satisfied with overseas products or traditional bag packaging, the following points were decisive in securing the contract: Careful dialogue to supplement expertise: By avoiding technical jargon and clearly presenting the "concerns" and "solutions," we ensured that even those without knowledge of boxes could understand the solutions. Our commitment to shaping their ideals within budget fostered trust. "Consumer perspective" advice: Instead of merely following instructions, we took the perspective of the guests who would actually use the amenities, proactively suggesting subtle points of caution and improvement. This overwhelming experience differentiated us from competitors. Proposals with multiple patterns to support negotiations: During the estimation and sample creation phases, we presented multiple options. This created a positive cycle that facilitated smooth negotiations between our customer and their business partner. In scenes where "luxury" is required, providing packaging that balances design, cost, and a sense of "reliability" led to the creation of highly satisfying packages.

**Case Study: Other Shapes (2)** This is a case where we received an order for custom boxes specifically for cookies from a client who supplies tea leaves and other food products to hotel cafes and bars. Initially, the consideration began with special shapes such as "triangular" and "dome-shaped," but through repeated prototypes, we pursued both design and practicality, ultimately arriving at the **"Roof-shaped BOX."** Flexible prototyping and design changes: For each dimension change that arose during meetings, we created new drawings and cut samples. We pursued the ideal shape without compromise and meticulously refined the specifications over more than six months. Surface treatment to enhance luxury: In the final process, we applied "press coat processing" to the proof prints, confirming a glossy finish that ensured quality suitable for a luxury hotel. Response to complex printing: We adopted "New Pigeon 310g" material and achieved a meticulous color expression by adding a spot color (1C) to full-color (4C) offset UV printing. From the start of consultations in March to the official order in December, we provided persistent support. We delivered an elegant and substantial package based on a red theme, helping the client realize their "first-class service."

Case Study: Lid and Body Assembly Box (1) We received an order for the original packaging of souvenir canelés. In pursuit of a sense of luxury suitable for the hotel's branding, we responded with the following examples. Thorough Pre-Research and On-Site Visit: After the inquiry, we promptly visited the site. Before the business meeting, we explored the area around the facility to deeply understand the brand image and proposed a prototype with a "wood grain" design that matched the hotel's atmosphere, earning trust through preparation that exceeded customer expectations. Commitment to Texture and Sample Provision: In response to the request for a box that one would want to store as carefully as a jewelry case, we sent a variety of samples from the pre-order stage. We created an environment where the texture and gloss could be checked one by one, supporting the selection of satisfactory materials. Adaptation to SDGs Policy: Respecting the hotel's stated SDGs policy, we proposed and realized packaging that leveraged our strength in paperboard rather than plastic. With our extensive knowledge as professionals and flexible proposals, we transformed the customer's vague image into a concrete form, completing a package that received high satisfaction from the purchasing customers.
