[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 visits: After the inquiry, we promptly visited the site. We took a stroll around the facility before the business meeting to deeply understand the brand image and proposed a prototype with a "wood grain" design that matched the hotel's atmosphere, gaining trust through preparations that exceeded customer expectations. Attention 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 touch 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.

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 sample of the plain box 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 foster trust. Cost and quality alignment: While adhering to the desired price range, we made adjustments with estimates that included multiple price ranges to determine the optimal specifications that could ensure strength. As a result, they evaluated our quality and support system and placed an order with us as a new packaging partner.

**Case Study: Sleeve Box (1)** This is a case where we received an order for **clip-specific sleeve boxes (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, we redesigned the size in millimeter increments 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: For the specification of four different designs, we conducted careful color proofs, achieving a quality that received feedback from the customer stating, "The color is perfect." Not just a simple order supplier, but as a "manufacturing partner" that responds persistently to unexpected challenges, we shaped the customer's commitment into reality.

[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. In order to address a challenging situation where three other companies could not agree on costs to supplement the display space of containers with insufficient 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 ensure both the display area and ease of attachment. Thorough cost adjustment: We reconsidered the specifications and estimates by changing the surface processing in response to the initial desired unit price (below \$9.00 to \$10.00). We achieved a price that the customer was satisfied with. 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 full-color development also in mind.

[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 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 proposed insights and improvements from the perspective of guests who would actually use the amenities, highlighting points that might be overlooked. This overwhelming experience differentiated us from competitors. Multiple proposal 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 a sense of "reliability" led to the creation of highly satisfying 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, we began considering 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 diligently refined the specifications for over six months, pursuing the ideal shape without compromise. 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. 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) 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 with a red color scheme, helping the client realize their "first-class service."
