Stockhom-based packaging concept company JakeBox has opened a UK hub for distribution of smaller order quantities of its eye-catching pop-up packs for CDs and DVDs.
Previously companies in the UK have been able to order high-end custom printed examples of the packaging system – popular in other markets – but smaller orders for unbranded stock versions have been uneconomical to ship from storage in Germany.
“We have had many inquiries from the UK in recent years”, says JakeBox German sales executive Katrin Oswald. “But having our main storage in Germany has made the total cost, including shipping, a bit too high.”
Dean Underwood of HDC Media, who is in charge of the UK hub, agrees completely.
“Custom printed JakeBoxes have been a favourite among our customers for a long time,” he says. “But since the minimum order for custom print is 1000 units, many can't afford it.
“The unbranded stock products are a very welcome addition, since it enables us to offer this ingenious concept in smaller volumes too.”
Stock JakeBoxes come in black and white, CD and DVD size, with an optional die-cut window on the front, that shows booklets or other inserted designs.
