Dutch term or phrase: voor een kleine oplage verpakkingen zorgen
Website text for a company that designs packaging.

Met onze mockups zorgen we voor een kleine oplage verpakkingen (één of meerdere) die niet van echt te onderscheiden zijn, en die u heel makkelijk kan gebruiken op beurzen of om te fotograferen en in folders te gebruiken, nog vóór de werkelijke verpakking is gedrukt.

I'm not completely au fait with the printing process, but does it sound 'authentic' to translate this as 'With/Using our mock-ups, we can produce short runs of packaging (one or more examples)...'?

Explanation:
I would forget about "low-volume production" or "short packaging runs" and just say: "We can also produce one or more mockups which are indistinguishable from the real thing."

Explanation:
A "run" is more printing. Mock-ups are actual boxes. So a production batch is better IMO.
