The brief

Makka for Carton converts corrugated board at Kom Abu Radi Industrial Zone in Beni Suef. Its buyers are procurement managers, and before one of them sends an enquiry they want two things settled: can this plant actually make what I need, and what will it cost. A brochure site answers neither.

The harder problem is that a buyer usually arrives with a product to ship and no box specification. Getting from "I need a box" to something a plant can quote against normally takes a week of email and a sample. The site had to do that work itself.

What we built

The site for Makka for Carton, a corrugated packaging plant in Beni Suef, Egypt. A shipping box assembles itself from a flat dieline as you scroll; buyers size a box in the configurator, check lead times and order terms, and send the spec with the artwork attached. Arabic and English.

A configurator, not a contact form
Internal dimensions in millimetres go in. The blank size, board area, caliper and volume come out, recalculated as the buyer types, and the finished specification carries through to the quote request. An enquiry arrives as something the plant can price rather than a conversation it has to start.
Drawings made from the numbers
An isometric of the assembled box and a flat development marked with cut and crease lines, both drawn from the dimensions the buyer entered. A die-line is the one language the plant and the buyer already share.
A capability list that admits its limits
Every board profile, print, converting and finishing process is marked either in plant or to be confirmed. Claiming a capability the floor cannot run wins one order and loses the account.
Five blanks that cover most of what ships
RSC shipping case, half-slotted case, e-commerce outer and shaped die-cut, each at a working size and each loading into the configurator in one click.
The plant, photographed running
The flexo printer-slotter, the gluing and laminating line, bundling and strapping, and the site entrance. The captions say plainly that the frames came off a handheld phone and were resampled — a buyer can see it, and saying so first costs less than being caught.
Six stages from order to pallet
Specification, CAD sample, tooling, print, convert, despatch — in the order the work actually happens. Procurement wants to know where an order will sit before it places one.
Arabic and English throughout
Both languages and both directions, including the configurator's figures and the labels on the die-line.
