Goldrich is a professional company offering a wide range of services in the folding carton packaging industry. My experience with Goldrich is that they will go the extra mile to satisfy their customers. They deliver on time, with good quality. They have a really quick turn around time with mock ups and samples and will work diligently with one on one until the final product is approved and ready for production. Good job Goldrich.

We approach each new structural design as a unique challenge, calling on the expertise of our Art Director, Marketing Director, Structural CAD Designers and others to find the perfect solution to packaging your product. Our in-house pre-press team can provide you with structural samples, die lines, creative graphics and artwork to help you visualize design concepts. If prototyping is required, we can create a folding carton, blister package, skin package, point-of-purchase display or thermoformed plastic package at a reasonable cost.
We specialize in designing and manufacturing blisters, vacuum-formed trays, clamshells, patterns and food molds. Our CAD/CAM structural design work is produced by creative professionals familiar with all structural materials and experienced with the latest design software. From simple rectangles to the most original shapes, structures and assemblies, we have the complement of staff, software and equipment to tackle the toughest projects.
Goldrich has mastered the art of printing on paper, paperboard, fine flute corrugated substrates and a vast array of plastics. We offer a full range of finishing options, from spot coating to foil stamping, to help you realize the most sophisticated packaging solutions. Our multi-colour offset lithographic presses are capable of a wide variety of size formats, with our latest acquisition offering intricate 10-colour printing that enables us to do multiple functions in one pass, producing a finished product off the end of the press.
Our electronic pre-press design department is dedicated to ensuring that the technical aspects of your print job - from planning, processing and proofing to plate making – are done to exacting professional standards. Goldrich produces all offset printing plates in-house using modern computer-to-plate equipment. In addition to standard screen dot printing, we encourage and promote stochastic screening to deliver extraordinarily fine image detail and colour for the most brilliantly vibrant packaging.
Goldrich prints using vegetable based, non-toxic, low-VOC and direct-contact eco-certified inks, giving our clients confidence that their products are 100% consumer safe. For a full list of our printing services, click here.
First impressions are particularly important with luxury items such as perfumes, creams, lotions, make-up and other beauty care products. Packaging needs to be distinctive and elegant, while also being durable.
It is often the simplest package design that demands the greatest attention, with elegance achieved in the details. Textured coatings, embossing, foil stamping and other finishing techniques allow for luxury in a minimalist design. This is where Goldrich’s custom structural design capabilities, graphic design and printing expertise excel. Partnership in the early stages of planning garners the most original and rewarding solutions.
In the design stage, our familiarity with the requirements of North American regulatory bodies streamlines the approval process, avoiding unnecessary delays in getting your product to market. Other practical concerns, including date coding, batch coding, tamper evidence seals, theft prevention devices, cushioning inserts and shipping security are also expertly addressed.
Pharmaceutical industries operate in an increasingly competitive environment and are subject to highly stringent regulations. Balancing the need for shelf presence with consumer information and safety is an ongoing challenge.
With many OTC products, packaging is the only interaction between the company and the consumer, demanding highly focused and effective communication in an extremely small space. Creativity in design and labeling is essential to accommodating both your brand and mandated consumer information.
Goldrich provides comprehensive pharmaceutical packaging services that range from structural and graphic design through to folding cartons, custom blister packaging, clamshells, vacuum forming, skin packaging, inserts, various skin boards and other printed items. We are familiar with the requirements of regulatory agencies and ease the approval process by getting things right the first time.
We can also address your concerns for safety and security with tamper evident seals and shrink wrapping that guarantee the integrity of the product, and anti-theft sensor tags and RFID smart chips that minimize theft. Once your product leaves our facility, we track and trace our shipping containers and provide security seals on delivery vehicles to ensure the shipment gets where it’s going intact. The need for innovation in packaging structure, performance and marketing appeal has never been greater. Goldrich has the experience to deliver pharmaceutical packaging that works on every level.
Perhaps more than any other consumer product, food packaging needs to balance practical needs with the aesthetic demands of a competitive retail environment. While effective branding is essential, your product also needs to arrive on the store shelf, refrigerated case or freezer in pristine condition, or the consumer won’t buy. It must withstand shipping and storage, be protected from contamination by oxygen or other environmental factors, look good in wet, cold and freezing environments, and have closures that stay closed through changes in temperature.
Goldrich excels in box printing and manufacturing. We understand the ins and outs of substrate strength, gluing, protective coatings, display windows, detailed finishing, grease resistance, and tolerances for moisture and extreme temperature.
We believe that food packaging, because it makes up a significant percentage of solid waste, needs to be environmentally friendly. We offer our clients “extreme-green” packaging options, including paperboard made from 100% recycled fibres, which is 100% recyclable and 100% carbon neutral. Goldrich uses only low-odour vegetable-based inks, Health Canada approved for direct-contact food surfaces, as well as a variety of no-odour cold starch glues approved for boxed food use.
We provide our clients with a full-service co-packing solution, strictly adhering to quality assurance processes. For further assurance that your product will arrive at retailers in perfect condition we create structural packages, packed with your product, to test shipping durability. Any necessary design changes can then be made to guarantee damage-free delivery before your product leaves for the stores.
When it comes to helping our clients realize a successful product launch, we think outside the box. Clients often call on our years of experience in consumer and industrial merchandising during the earliest stages of marketing strategy development. We will not only recommend the most effective packaging solution, but can provide full creative execution, build prototypes for focus testing, and will even help clients define appropriate channels of distribution.
Our ongoing work in the fast-paced and ever-changing retail environment gives us valuable insights into trends and opportunities our clients can turn to their advantage. Our retail merchandising solutions range from countertops, floor stands, POS and POP displays to sidekicks and pallet displays. We will take your display from design and assembly through to fulfillment. We can even round out your campaign with coupons and direct mail support.
For clients who find themselves up against the pressures of limited space, capacity, equipment or manpower, Goldrich also offers a complete range of contract co-packing and fulfillment services, including club packs, bagging, blister and skin packaging and kit assemblies. We can package, assemble, label and warehouse your product, and ship directly to your customers worldwide with a range of import/export logistics and freight services.
As the number of consumer products in the retail environment increases, so does the need for unique packaging solutions. Often a product’s primary marketing opportunity is on the store shelf, demanding packaging that displays the product to its best advantage.
Goldrich has designed and printed packaging for a wide range of consumer products, from sporting goods and hardware to light bulbs and electronics. Each presents a unique challenge. We never forget that the fundamental purpose of packaging is to protect the product. Vacuum forms, blister packaging, clamshells, skin packaging and shrink-wrapping limit movement during shipping and handling while enhancing product display. Goldrich excels at display merchandising, club packs, multi-packs, bagging and kit assembly. When it comes time to shipping, we configure your goods to optimize container space and minimize shipping costs.
