Material and process planning
Even the most stunning drawings need perfect craftsmanship to carry them. Meilin has 15 years of practical experience in the supply chain of packaging materials, and is proficient in glass, plastic products and more than 100 kinds of surface treatment processes. We provide you with one-stop escort of “material selection - high-precision sampling - mass production supervision”, so that your packaging “what you see is what you get”.
Proofing at any cost, just for the big stuff not to turn over
Many brands have suffered the loss of “the design is beautiful, but the product is ugly”. Meilin insists on high-precision 3D template printing and real material sampling before the mold is opened to avoid shrinkage, color differences and process conflicts in advance. We leave the cost of trial and error in the lab, and send perfect products to the shelves.

Three Steps to Landing the Merrill Craft
1. Material and cost planning
Combined with your target pricing and branding, we match you with the best packaging solutions in the global supply chain, refusing to blindly pile up processes that lead to uncontrolled costs.
2. High-precision hand-plate proofing
Utilizing industrial-grade 3D printing and isometric surface treatments, we can verify the grip and visual texture in advance, so that “what you see is what you get”.”
3. Supervision of test molds and large shipments
Engineers personally go down to the factory to keep an eye on the mold, from the confirmation of the first piece to the large goods sampling, strong solution to the color difference, uneven wall thickness, mold line roughness and other stubborn production problems.
Why do head brands rely on Merrill's process system?
Expertise in 100+ cutting-edge surface processes
Whether it's gradient sandblasting, UV plating, hot stamping and baking, or complex two-color injection molding, we know how to skillfully layer different processes to produce the highest level of visual chemistry, so that your products will bring their own light on the shelves.
Invisible cost reductions to open up the back-end supply chain
Understand the design more understand the mold. We not only pursue the visual stunning, but also can help you save unnecessary mold fee and package weight by fine-tuning the structure before opening the mold. We can help you save unnecessary mold cost and package weight by fine-tuning the structure before molding. We can also improve the gross profit of the product with better material alternation program.
Resident Supervisor, Nanny Delivery of Large Goods
The delivery of design drawings is never the end. Meilin team will be deeply connected to the production workshop, providing the whole chain of supervision from mold testing, first piece confirmation to sampling inspection of the big goods. We will control the scrap rate and factory yield rate for you, and say goodbye to the industry pain point of “design and factory pulling each other's legs”.
Proofing and production are the most important concerns for brands.
Is your high-precision prototype the same as the real thing in the big shipment?
Visual similarity is up to 95% or more. We use industrial-grade high-precision 3D printing with authentic post-processing techniques such as painting, plating and silk-screen printing. Before you pay the high cost of molding, you can get the very tactile and glossy physical boards to verify the feedback from executives and the market in advance.
Do special surface processes (e.g., gradient, three-dimensional embossing) lead to runaway costs?
No, we don't. Merrill's process planning is based on your “target cost-per-bottle” and pushes back the limits. We leverage our 15 years of supply chain experience to help you achieve the highest level of visual quality while maintaining strict cost control through clever material substitution or mold fine-tuning, so that you get the most out of your money.
Do you assist in following up on large shipments as they come off the production line?
Must follow up. Delivery of drawings is just the beginning, we provide the whole chain supervision service of “sampling - trial mold - first piece confirmation - sampling inspection of big goods”. Meilin's senior engineers will personally go to the factory to solve the stubborn problems in the workshop, such as color difference, deformation, roughness of the mold line, etc., to ensure the perfect landing of the big goods.
