The company offers a team of in-house designers who cater to every need, large or small. Packaging samples are created and developed within the Design Department and are available upon request. Company Service Atlas offers modern technology to service its customers' requirements. Our fully integrated computer software allows process, manufacture and custom orders from normal to short lead-times. The average lead time for orders has decreased from eight-working days to three. Almost 40 percent of Atlas orders are delivered today, tomorrow or the next day. Our on-time delivery rate is 99 percent (compared to the industry average of 75 percent.) Many customer orders are purchased and delivered on the same day - and is why Atlas calls itself the "FedEx of the box business."
