How a job moves through production · Jaipur, Rajasthan
Production Process
Every job follows the same route at Shree Fine Arts. We confirm the specification and material, the print requirement goes to established specialised print partners, and the carton then comes back for in-house coating or lamination, die cutting, folder gluing or carton erection. Production is checked against the approved job requirement before dispatch.
The route
Nine stages from specification to dispatch
The sequence below is the same for every job. What changes is which stages a particular carton needs — not every job requires coating, lamination or carton erection.
About the artwork stage
“Artwork / print requirement” refers to the design the carton is produced to. It does not mean Shree Fine Arts provides artwork design services.
Requirement / specification
We confirm the carton or box, the finished size, the quantity and what the packaging has to do.
With youMaterial selection
Board type and GSM are selected according to box size, structure, application and customer requirement.
In-houseArtwork / print requirement
The print requirement is confirmed from the artwork the job is produced to.
Confirmed with youCommercial printing, where required
Where the job needs commercial offset printing, it is coordinated through established specialised print partners.
Partner-managedCoating or lamination, where applicable
UV, aqueous or water-resistant coating, or matte or gloss lamination, applied in-house where the job requires it.
In-houseDie cutting / die punching
The carton is cut to shape from printed board. Where a suitable die is not already available, one can be produced for the job.
In-houseFolder gluing or carton erection, where applicable
Side-pasting and folder gluing for suitable carton structures, or carton erection for boat trays, meal boxes and clamshell burger boxes.

Printing
One coordinated workflow
Printing is coordinated through established specialised print partners, while converting and finishing processes such as die punching, coating, lamination, folder gluing and carton erection are managed in-house by Shree Fine Arts.
We do not operate our own commercial offset press. Being clear about which stages run in-house and which are coordinated with partners means you know exactly who is doing the work on your cartons.
Why the workflow is set up this way
A specialised print partner brings the printing, and we bring the converting and finishing. The job stays with one team that manages both, so you are not left coordinating the stages yourself.
We do not publish the names of our printing partners.
