WHAT WE DO
Print and packaging, properly understood.
Mako starts with recurring categories used by consumer brands, where the specification, production method and buying pattern can materially change the commercial outcome.
01 / PACKAGING
Challenge more than the box price.
Corrugated shippers, folding cartons, product packaging, labels and fulfilment consumables.
What we examine
- SpecificationDimensions, construction, board grade, print and finish.
- DemandSKU variation, order quantities and forecast quality.
- Full costTooling, storage, freight, lead times and payment terms.
- Supplier fitManufacturing capability, capacity and delivery needs.
The best option might be a better specification, better terms with the incumbent or a different manufacturer. The evidence determines the route.
02 / PRINT
Buy the whole print job.
Magazines, welcome booklets, inserts, leaflets and other recurring printed materials.
What we examine
- ProductFormat, paper, page count, finish and proofing.
- ProductionRun length, setup, scheduling and reprints.
- DistributionPacking, palletisation, delivery and fulfilment needs.
- Commercial termsVolume bands, price reviews and service commitments.
Price per copy is a useful number only when the finished job and all related costs are comparable.
