🎁 Industry · Rigid Box Manufacturing — India
One rigid box job.
Five components. Do you know where each one is right now?
A rigid box has five to six components — each on its own production path. Clicarity tracks all of them simultaneously under one Job ID. You see where every component is, what's lost, and what's holding up final assembly.

Where Printing Businesses Lose Time & Money
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps rigid box manufacturers identify — and fix — within the first few weeks.
Pre-Press Stage
Files sitting in pre-press for 2 days before anyone noticed
A printing business in Mumbai tracked their pre-press stage and found that artwork corrections were taking an average of 2.4 days per job — but nobody was following up. Jobs were waiting silently. Once visible, they set a 4-hour response rule and cut pre-press time by 60%.
Pre-press TAT reduced from 2.4 days to 0.9 days
Lamination Stage
18% wastage at lamination — happening every single job
A commercial printer tracked quantity in and out at every stage. Lamination was losing 18% of sheets consistently. The cause: a worn roller that the operator knew about but hadn't escalated. Identified on day 3. Fixed on day 4. Wastage dropped to 4%.
Material loss reduced from 18% to 4% in one week
Dispatch Stage
Jobs ready for 2 days — dispatch didn't know, invoice unsent
A printing house found that finished jobs were sitting in the packing area for an average of 1.8 days before dispatch was notified. Billing didn't know the job was complete until dispatch confirmed. Invoices were going out 3 days late — consistently affecting cash flow.
Same-day dispatch and invoicing — cash in 3 days earlier
Real Rigid Box Manufacturer. Real Results.
"Now I can see at which stage the loss is happening while the job is still running. That alone has changed how I manage production. Earlier I used to find out about sheet wastage only at the end of the job — when it was too late to do anything."

Questions from rigid box manufacturers
How does Clicarity handle multi-component rigid box jobs?
Each rigid box job is assigned a Job ID. Under that Job ID, each component — top label, bottom label, boards, tray, accessories — gets its own tracked sub-path. All components move through their stages independently, simultaneously, and merge at final assembly. You see everything under one job view. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Can it track material wastage per component?
Yes. At every stage, quantity in and quantity out is logged for each component separately. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically — by component, by stage, live. You see exactly where material is disappearing while the job is still running.
What is the go-live time for a rigid box manufacturer?
5 days. The Clicarity team maps your component paths, stage sequences, and data fields. Your team needs zero technical knowledge. No training required beyond showing workers how to enter a Job ID and select a status.
Will my floor workers actually use it?
Yes. Two fields. Job ID and status. Under a minute. HC Boxes's shop floor transitioned to digital with zero retraining — workers who had never used a software system were updating jobs from day one.
See every component. Every stage. While the job is still running.
