We do not outsource your prototype. All machines and software applications are located within our in-house CAD Department. CAD stands for computer-aided design and refers to the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a folding carton.

Graphic Design and Pre-Press
Once you’ve approved the prototype, it is time to develop the artwork that will appear on your carton. We will provide you with a “dieline” or blueprint, of your carton to be used by your graphics department when laying out the images and information that will appear on your box. Our advanced equipment and experienced staff allow us to accept your art in a variety of formats. Or you can take advantage of our design services.

At Century Packaging, Inc., we use the most modern computer to plate technology (CTP).  With CTP technology the need for film is eliminated, saving time and money. Within minutes, we are able to transform your design into plates that will go directly on to the press.  And because we use Epson Proofers, we can print proofs up to 44 inches, allowing you to get a large and accurate view of what the carton will look like before we run your job.
