Folding Carton “O-Sleeve”
Here at Wynalda Packaging, from Design to Fulfillment, we own the manufacturing process. Over our nearly 50 years in packaging we have perfected our process to optimize quality and turn times for our customers. We are proud of our continuous investment in modern equipment and technology.
Design
Structure and function are keys to great packaging. The Wynalda team considers all aspects of your product when designing a package to hold it. We look at both fit and function when developing a design, making sure the design can be manufactured well in production.
Once a design is finalized, that exact program is used to create the tooling for the manufacturing process. Using the finalized design to create the tool ensures that your finished manufactured product will look and function just like the sample that was approved.
Prepress
Wynalda Packaging provides full-service prepress and proofing. We can process all of the major formats that are used today for file development.
Wynalda Packaging is a computer-to-plate (CTP) facility, and has been since 1999. Computer-to-plate technology ensures flexibility, quick turnaround, increased quality and reduced costs.
Proofing is done utilizing both water based and solvent based Epson color proofing systems. Digital files can be uploaded to a secure site at Wynalda Packaging via FTP.
Printing
At Wynalda Packaging, we have what it takes to make your package stand out from the rest.
Print your packaging in 4, 6 or 8 colors all in one pass. Whether it is a standard 4- color folding carton or a custom, special-match color, we are equipped to handle the printing.
Our in-house ink department gives you flexibility to match the most unusual color on the most unusual substrate.
Die Making
We have a team of die makers in house that build the cutting dies as well as the blankers for most projects we run through our machines.
This allows us to speed up the time it takes to get your project from concept to finishing because we do not have to wait on a third party timeline to produce the dies for your project.
Post-Press
In our West Michigan facilities we not only have the ability to print high volume but to also emboss and foil stamp.
At Wynalda Packaging we take pride in our ongoing commitment to current technology and equipment investments. Investing in current technology and equipment allows us to keep these manufacturing units in house.
Many of our machines are capable of multi-step, in-line processes that improve production efficiency of the post-press functions. Ultimately this creates great value for our customers.
Finishing
As your substrate makes its way from post-press to a finished package, it arrives at our windowing, steel and magnets, and or gluing lines.
Here your substrate becomes a finished, folding carton. Wynalda Packaging is an industry leader when it comes to equipment and technology.
We have also developed our own in-line serialization process in the finishing stage and can even provide you with a managed serialization data solution if needed.
As part of our continuous growth, Wynalda is now offering Molded Pulp Packaging as an added solution to your packaging needs. Made from 100% recycled content, Paper Pulp Packaging offers a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic options.

Our specialties create added value for our customers. Our business is built on producing unique and creative packaging that contributes to consumer confidence in our customers’ brands.
Coatings
Special coatings can protect your package and give it added shelf appeal.
Print with aqueous coating, UV coating, dull coatings, varnishes and reticulated coating to make your product jump off the shelf.
You can even use a combination of coatings to really differentiate your package from your competitors.
Foil Stamping
Foil stamping on your package can add a little flash to draw attention or it can add security for authenticity.
Foil stamping can be done in a wide variety of foils and colors that will enhance your package and give it enormous shelf appeal.
Adding a security foil will authenticate your product with the use of special security features placed in the foil to guarantee that your customer has the real thing and not a counterfeit.
Embossing
Want to add a texture to your package, or raise type on the package to make it jump off the box? Then embossing is for you. Embossing or de-bossing gives your package that special feel when you hold it in your hand or look at it on the shelf.
You can emboss your text and font, a background texture or raise a character or logo so that it stands out on your package.
The embossing can be a single-level emboss or a sculpted emboss to create your desired effect.
Die Cutting
All of our die cutters are equipped with full blanking capabilities, which means your cartons come off the die cutter ready to go to the gluer.
Our die making department constructs the cutters for each job in house so that we can have full control over the die cutting process which improves the speed of delivery of your project.
The die cutter automatically removes the trim from around your carton and moves the trim to a machine for recycling.
The cutting die is designed, programed and produced all in-house, eliminating the possibility of the carton changing from prototype to finished, manufactured carton.
Windowing
Does your product command a consumer need to see it before they buy it?
Wynalda Packaging has the ability to place a window in your carton for viewing the product while securely inside of the carton.
The window can be a basic cellophane window for viewing on one panel of the carton, or it can be a rigid PET window that actually helps form the structure and design of the carton.
We call this rigid, folding or waterfall style window Wynview™.
Gluing
Straight-line gluing, automatic bottoms, cartons with internal dividers, and beverage carriers — our gluers can do it all.
Our gluers are set up with detection systems that constantly monitor the amount and positioning of the glue as it is applied.
At the same time we are monitoring the glue, we are reading each individual carton making sure that it is what our customer is expecting.
Bindery
Our fully equipped bindery department can add those finishing touches to your printed materials. Whether you need trimming, folding or stitching, it can be handled right in our plant.
If your project requires a tip-on of one print piece to another, such as a lenticular tip-on, we can handle it. When your project requires the application of plastic CD/DVD/Blu-ray plastic trays, we can make it happen as well.
We understand the urgency of each project and have the equipment and staff to meet your schedule.
Serialization & Ink-Jetting
We have a closed-loop, high-resolution ink-jetting system designed specifically for highly secure data applications such as: code redemption systems, point systems, zero duplication, and 100% legible applications.
Our closed-loop camera verification system ensures that the data printed matches the intended result. Automatic isolation ensures that no duplicates enter the production stream.
Our proprietary, secure-code management system is 2048bit and encrypted. It allows authorized agents to verify essential data including the quantity of codes provided, used and remaining.
Our system also provides searchable access to individual code batches, allowing verification processes with complete integrity.
Thermoforming
Our thermoforming capabilities allow you to add style and functionality to your folding carton without the high tooling costs of other molding processes.
Thermoformed sheet can be made with high-impact and flame-retardant properties, and in an infinite range of colors. We provide custom molds and 3D prototyping so you receive exactly what your requirements demand.
We can produce a wide variety of thicknesses and can handle the most basic clamshell or the most complicated tray.
Injection Molding
We can design and manufacturer simple and complex custom-injection molded components.
No matter what kind of part you may need, from a personalized hangtag to a complex toy, we can provide the solution that will help you get your ideas to market and stay ahead of the competition.
