To quote a custom box we typically need: box type (style), inside dimensions (L×W×H), material preference (corrugated flute, chipboard grade), printing requirements (number of colors, finish), a run quantity, and any inserts or special finishing. Photos or product samples and target budget/timeline are also very helpful.

Yes — we build samples and prototypes so you can check structure, fit, and print before committing to full production. Prototyping helps validate dielines, artwork placement, and material choices.

Lead times vary by complexity and quantity. Simple corrugated runs can be faster like 3–5 days, while printed folding cartons, special coatings, or large-volume jobs typically take longer but no longer than 14–17 days. We’ll provide an estimated production and shipping timeline with every quote based on your exact specs.

MOQs depend on the box type and production method — plain boxes or small corrugated runs may allow relatively low minimums, while specialty printed cartons or digitally printed boxes often require higher minimums due to setup costs. We’ll share MOQ details when we review your design.

A dieline is the flat template that shows fold lines, cut lines, and bleeds for your box. It’s crucial for accurate artwork placement and ensuring your design lines up correctly after folding and gluing. We provide dielines for each box style.
