**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 package 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 of "not falling out even when shaken, yet easy to insert and remove." Support for a variety of designs: In response to the specification of four different designs, we carefully conducted color proofs, achieving a quality that received feedback from the customer stating, "the colors are perfect." We were not just an order-taking company but a "manufacturing partner" that persistently responded to unexpected challenges, bringing the customer's commitment to life.

[Case Study: Sleeve Box (2)] *Pattern with Sleeve Only (No Base 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 of synthetic resin products. In response to a challenging situation where three other companies could not agree on costs to supplement the display space of containers that lacked sufficient label application area, we led to a solution 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 adjusted the shape in millimeter increments to secure the display area while ensuring ease of attachment. Thorough cost adjustment: We reconsidered the specifications and estimates, including changing the surface processing, in relation to the initial desired unit price (below \$9.00 to \$10.00). We achieved a price that the customer found acceptable. Support for the first paper product request: We carefully addressed the customer's detailed concerns, such as the reuse of foil plates and the presence of machine calibration, while progressing. Ultimately, we landed on a high-end specification that combined solid black printing with foil stamping. We delivered a sleeve with side adhesion using "NEW Pigeon (260g)." This case has established us as a trusted partner for future expansion, with an eye towards full-color development.

Case Study: Four-Corner Paste Box (1) We received an order for the production of color cosmetic boxes with brand logos for medical-related products. In response to the need for small lots and a focus on quality, we addressed the situation with the following examples. Proposal for specification improvement of existing products: We examined the samples of plain boxes provided and pointed out that the conventional paper thickness was insufficient for strength. Anticipating use in medical settings, we proposed a change to a thicker paper that would enhance strength. Proposal using actual samples: We presented paper thickness samples using actual products from major industry manufacturers to share a concrete quality image and build trust. Balancing cost and quality: 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 a case where a customer, who distributes amenities to over 3,000 hotels nationwide, chose our company as a partner to meet the request of their business partner to "create a meticulously crafted original box." In the high-end amenities that were unsatisfactory with overseas products or conventional 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 ideals within budget fostered trust. "Consumer perspective" advice: Rather than simply following instructions, we took the perspective of the guests who would actually use the amenities, proposing subtle points of caution and improvements in advance. This overwhelming experience differentiated us from other companies. Proposals of multiple patterns to support negotiations: During the estimation and sample creation process, 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 "reliable assurance" 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 customer 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: In response to dimensional changes that arose during meetings, we created new drawings and cut samples each time. We diligently refined the specifications without compromising on the ideal shape over a period of 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 a quality suitable for high-end hotels. Adaptation 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) using 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 color scheme, helping the client embody 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 addressed the request 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 surrounding area to deeply understand the brand image and proposed a prototype with a "wood grain" design that matched the hotel's atmosphere, gaining 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 even before the order was placed. 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.
