Numbering errors can affect the whole set
Proof the day-to-item map alongside the artwork. Repeated numbers, a wrong drawer size or reversed filling instructions are harder to resolve after assembly.
The illustrated advent calendar opens with two front doors to reveal numbered compartments. It is a multi-part packaging project: the item schedule, compartment arrangement and daily reveal sequence affect construction, artwork and assembly. Decide the contents before assigning numbers to a decorative grid.

The starting material direction is Board with printed paper wrap; construction confirmed on sample. The handle or opening direction is Double-door cover with individual compartments. Branding can use custom seasonal artwork and selected logo finishes. These choices need to be read together: the illustrated construction sets the product direction, while your packed contents determine the final dimensions and reinforcement. Provide every item size and weight, the compartment layout, reveal sequence and required arrival date.
List every item with dimensions and weight, then map it to a day or compartment. Identify the largest and heaviest contents. Specify whether each compartment uses an individual drawer or another construction and how staff will fill and close the complete calendar.

Work through this design in three steps: Approve sizes, count and reveal sequence together. Then check closure, panel alignment and artwork across the front. Finally, review the actual filling sequence and outer carton. Record any revision on the product specification before repeating the check.
The product-specific cost variables are: Compartment count and variety, internal construction, door structure, individual artwork, manual assembly and filled shipping volume. Compare these on the same quantity per size and artwork. Identify whether tooling, the physical sample, accessories, assembly and delivery are included as separate line items. A lower unit price with a different handle, insert or print scope is a different specification.
No. Mixed sizes can be developed around the item list, but the grid, internal support and numbered artwork must be designed together and approved as one complete calendar.
Start with board with printed paper wrap; construction confirmed on sample and double-door cover with individual compartments. Add the packed product information and the specific choices listed in the comparison table. Provide every item size and weight, the compartment layout, reveal sequence and required arrival date.
