Frequently Asked Questions

No. We have no minimum order quantity — runs start at just 100 units, so you can test a new product or a redesign without committing to thousands of boxes. Per-unit pricing improves as your volume grows into the thousands and tens of thousands.

Pricing is calculated from your exact specs, not a flat rate. The biggest factors are quantity, box style and structure, material and thickness, size, print coverage, and finishes like lamination, foil, or spot UV. Larger runs lower the per-unit cost. The fastest way to a real number is to request a free quote.

No. There are no setup, plate, or die charges — even for a fully custom dieline. You pay for the boxes, not the tooling, which keeps short runs affordable.

Yes. A physical sample is $50, and the full $50 is credited back to your production order when you proceed — so it's never a sunk cost, just a way to confirm color, finish, and fit before you commit. Every quote also includes a free 3D digital mockup.

Always. We send a free 3D digital mockup so you can confirm the structure, proportions, and finish before production starts. Nothing goes to press until you approve it.

Print-ready vector files (AI, PDF, EPS) are ideal, and high-resolution raster files work for imagery. If you don't have print-ready files, our designers will prepare everything for you — just send what you have.
