Consulting, concept & design

Our in-house design studio d&friends works hand in hand with our technical department. This ensures technical feasibility and budget compliance before the designs are presented to our customers.

Product engineering & prototyping

The idea individually developed for the customer or his own specification is checked by our technical department and implemented by our in-house prototype department in a representative sample. Besides the traditional handcraft, we use modern technology, such as CNC milling, plotter, UV flatbed and 3D printers …

Material selection

Whether cardboard, plastic, wood or metal, we have a high material competence, can combine different materials and permanently expand our material selection through active sourcing.

Production

With our production sites in Europe and the Far East, we have diverse production know-how – from cardboard and plastic production to traditional craftsmanship and woodworking.
We began manufacturing in the Far East in the mid-1980s, and since then our business partnerships and understanding have developed to a very high level.

Made in Germany

Exclusive production of boxes, trays and storage solutions.

Made in Far East

Economic mass production with German quality level.

Quality

Whether inline or final inspections; our employees in China ensure quality on site. We leave nothing to chance. Both the quality control processes and the quality requirements themselves are firmly defined and accessible to our customers. Materials and finished products are tested in our test laboratory. Climatic tests, abrasion, drop and vibration tests are part of everyday life. We also work closely with DEKRA in Germany.

Logistics

Packaging and displays are the most beautiful when they arrive at the right place at the right time. To ensure this we become a link in our customers’ supply chains. We handle certain downstream services, from attaching barcode labels and on-demand storage to worldwide direct distribution.

Customer Service

We take over downstream work such as preparing the packaging for loading with the end product, or applying labels for different markets, etc.. We are also happy to take on other tasks for our customers.

Sustainability & social responsibility

Social and environmental responsibility have always been important to Ch. Dahlinger. We documented this fact by signing up to the United Nations Global Compact on 13 June 2005. Our main production sites are SEDEX audited and ISO 9001 certified and are subject to constant supervision by our China Office.
