FAQ
For Newbie
As someone new to packaging procurement, here are a few key questions you might want to ask
The ideal packaging depends on your product’s size, weight, and target market. For high-end products, a rigid gift box with premium finishes like foil stamping or embossing would enhance the luxury feel. If your focus is on cost-efficiency, a corrugated box with minimal design could work well. We can help you balance aesthetics and practicality to suit your product perfectly.
Balancing quality and cost comes down to selecting the right materials and finishes. For instance, using kraft paper or recycled materials can lower costs while still providing a sustainable edge. We recommend starting with essential finishes, like a matte or gloss coating, and only adding premium features like foil stamping if your budget allows. We’ll guide you through options that maintain durability without overspending.
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 100 units, but we recommend 500 units to optimize pricing. This is because larger orders spread out setup costs, such as tooling and plate-making, across more units, reducing the cost per box. Smaller orders tend to have higher unit prices due to these fixed costs.
Lead times depend on the complexity of your order. White samples are ready in 1-3 days, color samples in 5-7 days.For larger orders, standard production time is 10-15 days, but this varies depending on the complexity of the product, your specific requirements, and how busy the production line is. If you have a tight deadline, let us know, and we can explore expedited options.
Packaging is often your customer’s first impression of your brand. High-quality materials, unique structural designs, and thoughtful finishes can create a memorable unboxing experience, enhancing your brand's perceived value. Whether it’s a luxury feel or eco-friendly packaging, we can design solutions that resonate with your target audience and elevate their overall experience with your brand.
We believe in transparent pricing, but it’s good to be aware of potential extras. Costs for special finishes (like UV coating or embossing), custom design work, and international shipping might not be included in the base price. We always provide a detailed quote upfront so there are no surprises later.
