Greeting Cards, Shopping Bags, and Paper Products Made in Mexico
Shelmex converts paper and cardboard into finished products designed by you, from greeting cards to specialty shopping bags and rigid boxes, at our plants in Nuevo León.
Paper Products We Manufacture
Every product starts with your artwork, materials, and specifications. These are some of the paper products we make:
Printed cards finished with folds, die cuts, foil details, and hand finishing, ready to pack.
Paper bags made to your size, print, and finish.
Boxes built to your dimensions and finished to your design.
Assembly, finishing, and packing of the paper and printed items you design.
If it is made of paper or cardboard, send us the details and we will review how to build it.
Print Finishes and Converting
Our team combines converting equipment with careful hand work, so a single product can carry several finishes:
- Folding and die-cutting: clean folds and custom shapes cut to your dielines.
- Embossing: raised designs that add texture to cards and packaging.
- Lamination: a protective layer that adds durability.
- Hot stamping: foil details for logos, borders, and lettering.
- Gluing: assembly of cards, bags, and boxes.
- Hand finishing: the final manual details on every piece.
Why Shelmex for Paper Products
Paper programs can run under our contract manufacturing model: you own the design, and we produce, finish, and pack it in our plants.
- Paper is where our sub-assembly work began: Paper products have been part of our plants since 2006, when we opened our first sub-assembly operation for a paper industry client.
- High volume: We produce millions of shopping bags and greeting cards every year.
- A dedicated operation: Since 2019 we have run an operation dedicated to specialty shopping bags and rigid boxes.
- Built to your design: We follow your artwork, materials, and specifications, and nothing comes from a catalog.
