Simplicity Teas
After much throughout searching, price, and quality comparison for custom-designed boxes, we decided to go with PackMojo! Communication throughout the process was great, customer service was top-notch, and we have already recommended people to them because I was impressed with everything! Already looking forward to re-ordering!
Quantum-Touch
I would give PackMojo more than 5 stars! I hired PackMojo to make custom boxes and thank you cards for our business. Unlike other vendors, we could do low MOQ's, yet still high quality. I was very impressed with Vincent's communication. I had a lot of questions, given that this was our first time doing custom boxes and he answered every single question. They sent out samples of the boxes and proofs and made sure the final print run matched what I was looking for. The boxes are beautiful and I'm proud of our new packaging. I will hire them again in the future for more boxes. Very, very happy!
The Taste of Balance
We had a fantastic experience working with PackMojo for our packaging needs. They were incredibly responsive, organized, and paid exceptional attention to detail. The quality of the final product exceeded our expectations, and we were thoroughly satisfied with the outcome. We highly recommend PackMojo for their professionalism and commitment to excellence.

What is the minimum order quantity for cardboard tubes?
The minimum order quantity for custom cardboard tubes is 1000 units. This MOQ applies to each unique variation, meaning any change in size, material, or printed artwork counts as a separate production run of 1000 tubes.
Where is your packaging produced?
We manufacture all of our packaging through a vetted network of trusted production partners in China, and ship everything directly from the factory to your doorstep.
What are your lead times?
Our standard production lead times typically take 12-16 days, though larger bulk orders can take 3-4 weeks depending on the overall volume and complexity of your packaging. Total delivery timelines will vary based on the shipping method you select.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping times depend entirely on the transport method you choose for your packaging. Air freight generally takes 1-3 weeks, while ocean freight ranges from 4-8 weeks. If you are on a tight deadline, you can split your shipment to send an initial batch via air and the remainder by sea.

Can you provide me with a dieline template?
Yes, we provide custom dieline templates after you place an order for either a custom sample or a full production run.
What format should I provide my artwork to you in?
Please submit your artwork using the custom dieline template we provide, ideally in an editable PDF or Adobe Illustrator (AI) format. To ensure your file is production-ready, keep the design on a separate artwork layer and review our dieline design guide before uploading.
