Sinh Vũ agrees the die line, the template that cuts and folds the box, with the printer first, then designs the graphics on it. You receive print files with every layer, plus a test print when it is in scope, so the run comes out close to what you approved.

Step 05 · Rollout
A ready-made template was drawn for a different product and a different material. On the printer's press, the die line does not fit, text lands on a fold, and colours shift with a different board. At that point a spoiled print run has to be thrown away, and that is the real cost. Sinh Vũ works the other way round, starting from the production constraints: the die line is agreed first, the graphics come after. You receive files that print straight away.
The real cost of packaging is a spoiled print run, not the design fee.
Packaging has two layers of work: the box structure, which is the die line, and the graphics printed on it. The die line is agreed first, because drawing graphics on an unconfirmed die line means drawing them twice. The printer's production time is outside Sinh Vũ's control, so the on-shelf date is worked out backwards from it.
Part 1
Agree the die line with the printer to fit their exact machine, along with the list of SKUs and the specification of each.
Die lineConfirmed by the printer before drawing
Part 2
The graphic direction is presented on the agreed die line itself, then rolled out to each SKU and size while keeping a shared identity.
On the real die lineNever presented on flat artwork
Part 3
Files are prepared to the printer's exact specifications, the test print is checked on the right material, and colours are adjusted if needed.
Test printApproved before the full run
Add the two figures together for the real time from kickoff to handover. Your part follows the approval window of each step, so approving early shortens the schedule. Factory production time is not included in these two figures.
Having these ready keeps the project on schedule. If something is missing, Sinh Vũ can still start, and the handover date moves back accordingly.
Each item comes with its format and what it lets you do.
Send them to the printer who agreed the die line and it prints right, with no back and forth.
To the printer's standard
The printer cuts the box on the right folds without adjusting the template.
Vector file
See the box as it will look and check the delivered run against it.
Assembled box preview
Change expiry dates, ingredients and barcodes for the next batch without touching the design.
Open information layer
The four points below are the sign-off yardstick, agreed from the start. You know in advance what you will receive.
Die line fits the press
The die line fits the printer's machine and is confirmed by the printer before the graphics are drawn.
Confirmed by the printer
Test print colour passes
When a test print is in scope, colours match the approved design on the actual material, and barcodes scan on that print.
Measured on the test print
Every layer, correctly set
Files have every layer: a non-printing cut layer, a non-printing fold layer and a bleed layer, set to convention.
Each file layer checked
All required information
The required information you provide is complete and placed correctly on each face of the box. Product registration remains your responsibility.
Checked against the list

Sinh Vũ designs both the graphics and the box structure, so the artwork and the box fit together from the first drawing. For printing, Sinh Vũ connects you with partner printers and follows production closely when that is in the agreed scope; we do not run presses ourselves, so we do not guarantee print prices on the printer's behalf.
Yes, the files are handed over to print standard. The die line is agreed with one specific printer, so if you move to another, confirm the die line with them before printing. Sinh Vũ recommends printers we know because we have checked their quality many times, but you are not tied to printing in one place.
Yes. Before the full run, Sinh Vũ checks a test print on the exact material, when the test print is in the agreed scope, so you see the real colours and proportions. This step catches size or colour mistakes before the cost of a full run. Test printing is charged separately.
Every product differs in material, structure, quantity and print technology, so the cost changes with each specific scope. Sinh Vũ quotes once the requirements are clear, so the figure reflects reality rather than a generic rate for every case. Our pricing principles are public on the Pricing page.
Sinh Vũ knows the mandatory presentation requirements by industry, such as ingredient labels, warnings and declared information, so the layout is right from the start. Final legal confirmation remains the responsibility of you or your legal team; Sinh Vũ supports the presentation side and does not replace the approving authority.
A single product is perfectly fine; you do not have to do the whole line from the start. If you plan to extend the line, Sinh Vũ suggests discussing it early so the design system extends more easily later.
No. Sinh Vũ builds a system framework from the very first pack, so later products only need adjusting on that base. A new SKU outside the agreed list is quoted as additional work, not a redo. This saves time and keeps the whole line consistent when the products sit side by side on the shelf.
Sinh Vũ goes to real shelves to look at the competitor packs standing where your product will sit, to find the gap where it can stand out. There is no formula that guarantees it absolutely, but this is a required step in the process, not a matter of luck.
