FAQs

Our minimum order quantity is 300 boxes per design for folding cartons, rigid boxes, and corrugated boxes. Offset printing becomes more cost-effective as the quantity increases, and orders of 2,000 boxes or more usually offer a significantly better unit price. We can provide pricing at several quantity levels so you can compare the cost.

Standard folding cartons usually take about 2-3 weeks after proof approval. Complex rigid food gift boxes, custom inserts, or extensive hand-finishing may require around three weeks or longer. Shipping time is additional and depends on the destination and method.

It depends on the product and sales channel. A tuck-end folding carton is efficient for lightweight retail items; a snap-lock or auto-bottom carton gives more support to heavier products; a rigid box suits premium gifts; and a corrugated mailer is better for subscription or e-commerce delivery. Send us the product dimensions, weight, inner packaging, and packing method and we will recommend a structure.

Yes. Different flavors or sizes can use the same dieline and cutting die when the box dimensions and structure are identical. Each artwork version is normally quoted separately, but producing multiple SKUs in one order may reduce shared setup, packing, and shipping costs.

No. Our boxes are designed as secondary outer packaging. Food should be sealed in a suitable wrapper, pouch, tray, liner, jar, or bottle before it is placed in the printed box.

Yes. Standard dieline templates are available to download through our online quote tool and packaging template page. If your packaging requires a custom structure or dimensions, we will prepare a tailored dieline after your order is placed and the specifications are confirmed.

Print-ready PDF files are preferred. Please use the final dieline, add 3 mm bleed, keep important text within the safe area, work in CMYK, embed all fonts, and use high-resolution images. Foil stamping, spot UV, embossing, debossing, white ink, and other special finishes should be supplied on clearly named separate layers or as separate files. Artwork for foil stamping, spot UV, embossing, and debossing should preferably be provided in vector format. High-resolution raster artwork may also be accepted if the image quality is suitable for production.

We do not provide full branding or graphic design services. We provide dielines, structural guidance, and a free technical artwork check to help make sure your files meet printing and finishing requirements.

Yes. FSC-certified and recycled paperboards are available on request, and we use soy-based inks for standard offset printing. The most recyclable solution usually uses a paper-based structure with minimal mixed materials, but the final choice depends on the protection, appearance, and food-contact requirements of the project.

Yes. Depending on what you need to evaluate, we can provide a PDF proof, GMG color proof, blank structural sample, digitally printed prototype, or finished production sample. We will recommend the most useful proofing option for the box structure, color, material, and finishes.

Yes. We arrange sea and air shipping to many international destinations. Send the complete delivery address and postal code so we can estimate freight, explain the delivery terms, and recommend a suitable shipping method.
