All of these are developed within the framework of delivering one stop packaging solutions to all their clients. The company is located in 7D Mountain Drive, Light Industry and Science Park II, Calamba, Laguna, Philippines. The company envisions being a world class packaging solutions provided through showcasing quality through design and provide packaging products with efficiency, effectiveness and excellent service.

The company's objective is to meet its quality standard rate of 99.39% for the year. During the period of October 2013 to September 2014, the company was not able to meet the target quality standard rate by 0.19% which resulted in a reject cost amounting to an opportunity loss of Php1,307,734.36.
