FAQ

Common questions on wholesale orders

Answers to the questions buyers ask before placing a bulk custom packaging order.

  • What is the minimum order for wholesale custom boxes?

    Most box styles start at 50 units. Shipping cartons and corrugated boxes start at 50 units. Some specialty rigid boxes and fully custom configurations start at 100 or 200 units. Your quote will include the exact minimum for your chosen spec.

  • How does per-unit cost change at higher volumes?

    Per-unit cost drops meaningfully at each volume tier: 50, 250, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 plus units. The largest drop typically happens between 50 and 250 units as setup costs spread across more units. We provide a cost-per-unit breakdown at each tier in your quote so you can choose the quantity that fits your budget and storage capacity.

  • What print method is used for bulk custom boxes?

    For orders under 250 units, we use digital printing. For 250 units and above, offset printing is available and delivers the sharpest color and lowest per-unit cost at scale. Flexo printing is available for corrugated and kraft boxes at any volume.

  • Can I get consistent reorders at the same spec?

    Yes. We store your dieline, print files, and material spec on file so reorders reproduce exactly. Dedicated account clients get a saved profile that lets us turn around repeat orders with a single email confirmation.

  • Do you offer a free 3D mockup before I commit to a bulk order?

    Yes, every quote includes a free 3D mockup of your box with your artwork applied. You approve the mockup before any production begins. For large orders, a physical sample is also available at a flat fee that credits toward your first production run.

  • How quickly can I get a quote for a bulk order?

    We respond to every quote request within 48 business hours with a detailed quote and a free 3D mockup. Large or complex orders may take a second business day to spec fully, but you will always receive an acknowledgment within 24 hours.
