Kartonwerk Rhein is a fictional corrugated packaging manufacturer in Duisburg, producing shipping boxes, printed boxes, displays and inserts from 500 pieces upward on its own corrugator, from FSC®-certified board. The demo shows how a packaging factory can win new customers by letting them price a box in seconds, order free samples and see that the supplier is reliable.
The problem this website solves
Buyers of packaging – online shops, food producers, wholesalers – need boxes that fit, arrive on time and do not blow up costs. Finding a supplier usually means sending dimensions by email and waiting for a PDF. Many factory websites show only a product list. This design does the opposite: it promises “Boxes made to your size, in 10 working days” and proves it with an instant box quote and a free-sample offer.
Key features in detail
1. Instant box quote
The visitor moves sliders for length (100–1,000 mm), width (100–800 mm), height (50–800 mm) and quantity (500–50,000), picks a board – single wall B flute (3 mm), C flute (4 mm), double wall BC (7 mm) or thin E flute (1.5 mm) – and chooses print: none, one, two or four colours. The estimator calculates board area per box, material cost, one-off print plates, the approximate number of pallets and the lead time, and shows the price per box and the total. With the defaults – a 400 × 300 × 250 mm box, 5,000 pieces, B flute and one-colour print – the demo shows about €0.49 per box, around €2,450 in total, on roughly five pallets with a 10-working-day lead time. A note explains that it is an indicative FEFCO 0201 price ex works plus VAT and that board prices change monthly.
2. Products for every stage of the supply chain
Six product groups cover shipping boxes (FEFCO 0201 and 0427, from €0.38), printed boxes with flexo in up to four colours (from €0.62), retail displays, die-cut corrugated inserts that replace foam and plastic (from €0.12), heavy-duty triple-wall boxes and octabins for up to 1,000 kg and a closed-loop recycling service that collects used board for free. All boxes use FSC-certified board with at least 70% recycled fibre.
3. Samples, sales calls and plant tours
Visitors can request a quote call, a sample review with an engineer, a factory tour in Duisburg or a framework contract with call-off stock. They state department, yearly volume and what they will pack. The page promises free samples within three working days, factory tours Monday to Thursday and a first sample proposal prepared before the meeting. Samples are the most effective sales tool in packaging because buyers can test fit and strength.
4. Reliability as the main message
The FAQ addresses what procurement managers worry about: minimum order (500 boxes, digital print from 100), storing call-off stock with delivery within 48 hours, deliveries to the Benelux, France, Poland and Austria and recyclability. Reviews (4.8 / 5 from 64 business reviews) report a 22% packaging cost reduction after replacing foam with corrugated inserts and a sample in three days with first delivery in ten.
