Quotes, orders & samples

What information is needed for a custom packaging quotation?

Send the product type, purpose, length × width × height with units, quantity per variant, product weight, artwork or references, preferred date and delivery location. Label dimensions as internal or external and include dividers, inserts or other components in the brief.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom cartons?

Minimum quantities vary with dimensions, materials, construction, printing and production arrangements. There is no universal published quantity. Send your estimated quantity per variant for Mr Wong to confirm.

How long do custom cartons, inserts or cat houses take?

Timing depends on artwork approval, materials, construction, sampling, quantities and production arrangements. Share your preferred receipt date and confirm sample, production and delivery timing separately. A requested date is not a confirmed lead time.

Can I request a sample before production?

Include sampling, trial fitting and print approval in your enquiry. Sample format, cost, revisions and whether they are included in the quotation require confirmation. Inserts, dividers and cat houses especially need fit and assembly requirements defined.

Can I enquire before artwork is ready, and what should I send?

Start with your logo, text, brand colours, printed surfaces and references. Confirm file formats, dielines, bleed, colours and font requirements for the printing process. Screen colours do not guarantee the appearance of printed paper.

Why can two cartons of the same size have different prices?

Materials, board construction, print, tooling, inserts, dividers, quantities per variant, assembly and delivery can change the quotation. Compare like-for-like specifications and confirm samples, printing, components and transport line by line.

Dividers, inserts & protection

How do box dividers differ from inserts?

Dividers mainly separate multiple items into cells. Inserts locate or support the shape of a product. Both can be discussed together when a pack needs separation and positioning.
