European Craftsmanship: Time-Honoured Production

We’re proud to showcase our latest manufacturing collaboration with Ressence – bringing their sophisticated watch box vision to life with European excellence and 100% sustainable materials.

Ressence, known for deconstructing traditional watchmaking with their #BEYONDHANDS philosophy, entrusted IPL to manufacture their multi-component packaging, resulting in a precision-crafted box featuring:

• Rigid board construction – with soft-touch lamination
• Premium cork elements – both moulded and CNC-cut large grain cork, a naturally renewable and biodegradable material
• Thoughtful inner card design – with finger recess for seamless user experience
• Sophisticated foiling and surface treatments

What makes this project special?

Complete European sourcing and manufacturing. Minimising transport distances and carbon footprint, our European sourcing team locally sourced all material and components, partnering with an exceptional factory in Poland that demonstrated remarkable flexibility throughout the production process – accommodating all modifications and even last-minute changes with precision.

Sustainable material choices – Cork, our featured premium element, represents the perfect marriage of luxury and sustainability. As a renewable resource that regenerates without harming the tree, cork embodies both environmental responsibility and sophisticated aesthetics.

The delivery destination?

The heart of Antwerp’s historic centre – a fitting destination for a brand whose logo features an outstretched hand, paying homage to the historic port city they call home

Our sourcing and manufacturing process operated in complete synergy with the customer’s development timeline, proving that when European craftsmanship meets innovative vision, extraordinary results follow.
