**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. 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. 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 individually, 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 Glued 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 of existing products: We examined the samples of plain boxes provided and pointed out that the conventional paper thickness was insufficient for strength. Considering the intended use in medical settings, we proposed a change to a thicker paper for enhanced 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: To identify the optimal specifications that ensure strength while adhering to the desired price range, we made adjustments with estimates that included multiple price ranges. As a result, they appreciated 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 a **clip-specific sleeve box (4 types in total)** from a customer in the precision metal processing industry, featuring a retro aesthetic. 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 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 proofing, 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 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 the wholesale of synthetic resin products. In order to supplement the display space of containers that lacked sufficient label application area, we consulted with three other companies but could not reach an agreement on cost. We resolved this difficult issue 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 made millimeter-level adjustments to achieve a shape that ensured display area while maintaining "ease of attachment." Thorough cost adjustments: In response to the initial desired price range (below \$9.00 to \$10.00), we reconsidered the specifications and estimates, including changes to surface processing. 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. Ultimately, we arrived at a high-end specification that combined solid black printing with foil stamping. We delivered sleeves with side application using "NEW Pigeon (260g)." This case has established trust as a partner for future expansion, with plans for full-color development.

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 that supplements 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 that might be overlooked. 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 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 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 design and practicality, ultimately arriving at the **"Roof-shaped BOX."** Flexible prototyping and design changes: For each dimensional change that arose during meetings, we created new drawings and cut samples. We pursued the ideal shape without compromise and meticulously finalized 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. 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 based on a red color scheme, helping the client realize their "first-class service."
