Frequently Asked Questions for Wholesale Orders

Key details for procurement teams, brand managers, and international importers.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom folding cartons?

Our minimum order quantity starts at just 50 units for custom folding cartons. This allows growing businesses to test new retail concepts while offering high-capacity automated production lines for mass-market orders exceeding 100,000 units.

Can you provide structural dielines and 3D digital proofs prior to mass production?

Yes. Once your preliminary order specs are confirmed, our packaging engineers generate precise 2D vector dieline templates and realistic 3D digital renderings so you can review artwork orientation, cut lines, and flap overlaps before printing begins.

Are your paperboard folding cartons shipped flat or assembled?

All custom folding cartons ship flat-packed. Flat shipping drastically reduces international freight costs and saves valuable storage footprint in fulfillment warehouses. Cartons assemble rapidly by hand or via automated insertion equipment.

What food-grade or pharmaceutical compliance options do you support?

We supply direct-contact food-grade paperboards, grease-resistant barrier coatings, tamper-evident tear seals, Braille embossing, and child-resistant locking structures that meet strict US FDA and EU regulatory standards.
