What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
Sampling: Supports sampling from 1 pc — verify before bulk production.
Volume discounts: Tiered pricing at 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 units. See the online quote for details.
Sampling process & fees
White sample: 2-3 days, physical white card cut-out, no printing, {currencySymbol}50-200 per piece.
Press proof: 3-5 days, actual machine printing, closest to final product, {currencySymbol}200-500 per piece (complex processes may cost more).
Bulk deduction: After confirming the sample, place a bulk order and the sampling fee can be credited toward the order amount.
Can I modify the order after confirmation?
During production: Die-cutting/press started — major changes require re-sampling and additional fees.
Completed: Cannot be modified, but supplementary production or redo options can be negotiated.
Suggestion: Please carefully confirm all details during the sampling stage to avoid modification losses later.
How to track order progress?
Can I cancel the order?
Paid but not in production: Refund available with a 5% handling fee.
In production: Cannot be cancelled, but can be paused and delivery delayed (up to 30 days).
Special circumstances: In case of force majeure or issues on our end, adjustments can be negotiated.
Design & Files
File formats & software requirements
Accepted formats: PSD/TIFF/JPG (resolution ≥300DPI, 1:1 actual size).
Software versions: Adobe CC 2020 and above, CorelDRAW X7 and above.
Note: Please convert text to outlines or include font files with your submission to avoid missing characters.
Bleed & safe zone settings
Safe zone: Important elements (text/logo/QR code) should be ≥5mm from the trim line.
Glue flap: Avoid placing text or key graphics in the glue flap area.
Tools: Die-line templates are available for download and can be imported into your design software.
Color mode & color settings
Spot colors: For precise colors, specify the Pantone number (e.g., PMS 2935C).
Black handling: Use single black K100 for text; use four-color black C40/M30/Y30/K100 for large black areas.
Color management: Screen display differs from actual printing; sampling is recommended for confirmation.
Image & resolution requirements
Image format: CMYK-mode TIFF/PSD; avoid JPG compression.
Links & embedding: Images in AI/CDR should be embedded or provided as a package.
Special effects: Transparency, shadows, gradients, etc. should be rasterized.
Pre-press process file labeling
Embossing/debossing: Separate layer label; line thickness ≥0.3mm.
Spot UV: Separate layer showing the UV area; minimum area ≥5mm×5mm.
Documentation: It is recommended to include a process description document/mockup to avoid ambiguity.
Do you provide design services?
File normalization: Pre-press engineers handle RGB-to-CMYK conversion, bleed supplementation, imposition optimization, etc.
Creative design: Not available at this time, but we can recommend partner designer resources.
Minor edits: Simple changes like text/dimension adjustments can be assisted free of charge.
Common file errors & how to avoid them
Insufficient resolution: Image DPI <300, resulting in blurry output.
Missing bleed: White edges appear at the trim line.
Safe zone violation: Text cut off or covered by glue flap.
Missing fonts: Text not outlined and fonts not provided, causing text distortion.
Production & Delivery
How long is the production cycle?
Corrugated boxes: 1-2 business days for sampling; 5-8 business days for bulk.
Holidays and special processes (embossing, hot foil stamping, special lamination) may add 1-3 days. Please refer to the customization page for details.
