**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 issue of the clips falling out. However, we redesigned the size in millimeters while checking the actual product. 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." Response 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 shaped the customer's commitment not just as an order-taking company, but as a "manufacturing partner" that responds tenaciously to unexpected challenges.

[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. To address a challenging issue where three other companies could not agree on costs to supplement the insufficient labeling area of the containers, we led to a solution through the following processes: 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 adjustments: We reconsidered the specifications and estimates, including changing the surface processing, in response to the initial desired price range (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 trust as a partner for future expansion, with an eye towards full-color development.

[Case Study: Box with Inner Partition (2)] This is a case where we received an order for a custom package for mascara containers from a customer who develops cosmetic products. The biggest challenge was "to securely fix the mascara itself so that it does not move inside the box." To address this challenge while balancing design and functionality, we solved the issue through the following processes. Integrated proposal for "inner cushioning": We designed a dedicated inner cushion that firmly holds the product. We received high praise for the quality of the white dummy (plain sample) presented during the initial meeting, alleviating concerns about product protection. Special processing and regulatory support: In addition to visualizing the contents through "window cut processing," we carefully responded to inquiries about the legal obligations regarding the display of plastic marks, including sending samples of the window film along with materials from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. We provided comprehensive support for the anxieties regarding the new specifications. Attention to detail in three-color printing: We adopted three-color printing, including white ink, achieving a sophisticated appearance characteristic of cosmetic brands. Ultimately, we delivered a "side-opening format (caramel box)" with an inner cushion. Our meticulous adjustments to embody the customer's commitment to their product led to a highly satisfying package creation.

[Case Study: Bottom One-Touch Box (1)] We received an order for the production of cosmetic boxes from a health food company. Following a price increase from their original cosmetic box manufacturer, they consulted us and appreciated our prompt response and professional proposals, entrusting us with the entire project. As an example, we implemented the following initiatives: Quality Optimization: We reviewed the current product and pointed out that the paper was thinner than expected. By changing to an appropriate thickness, we achieved both quality assurance and cost reduction. Quality Control: To maintain the cleanliness required for health food products, we paid close attention to printing defects and other issues. Printing Support: We proposed corrections to the submission data before printing, preventing mistakes before they occurred. Due to the trust established, we are currently receiving requests without the need for competitive quotes, and we will continue to strengthen our collaboration in the future.

Example: 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 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: Rather than simply following instructions, we took the perspective of the guests who would actually use the amenities, proposing subtle points of caution and improvement in advance. This overwhelming experience differentiated us from other companies. Proposals with multiple patterns to support negotiations: During the estimation and sample creation process, we presented multiple options. This created a positive cycle that allowed negotiations between our customer and their business partner to proceed smoothly. In scenes where "luxury" is required, providing packaging that balances design, cost, and a sense of "reliable assurance" led to the creation of highly satisfactory packaging.

**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: For each dimension change that arose during meetings, we created new drawings and cut samples. We pursued the ideal shape without compromise and carefully refined the specifications over more than six months. Enhancing luxury through surface treatment: 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. Addressing 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."
