Print quality
Unbeatable quality with offset printing
We use offset printers to ensure your branded packaging stands out. This method delivers sharp, high-quality prints with vibrant colors, avoiding any "dotted" looks.
Thick-Walled vs Thin-Walled Boxes
Thick-walled and thin-walled tray and sleeve boxes are best for different needs. Thin-walled tray and sleeve boxes are best for lightweight products and thick-walled tray and sleeve boxes are best for products that require a bit more protection.

What is the minimum order quantity for tray and sleeve boxes?
300 units. The MOQ is based on every unique box (e.g. size, design).
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.
