From brief to delivered box

The brief decides how fast this goes

A brief that carries the product dimensions, the quantity band, the finishing you want and the delivery destination can be quoted without a round of questions. A brief that carries a photograph of a competitor box can usually be quoted too, but the structure has to be drawn first.

The one item worth having settled early is artwork. Everything downstream waits on it.

Structure before price, always

Nothing here is a catalogue item, so there is no list price to look up. The structure is drawn against your product first, and the minimum order and the schedule are then stated against that structure rather than assumed from a table.

This is why the site quotes nothing automatically. A price for a box that has not been drawn is not a price.

Sampling, then the run

A 3D mockup comes back within 24 hours of a usable brief. A physical sample takes 5–7 days from there, and bulk production runs 10–15 days from artwork approval.

Those three numbers are the ones to plan a launch around. They are also why a seasonal brief that arrives three weeks before the window needs a simpler finishing specification than one that arrives three months out.

Packing is part of the quote

Boxes leave flat-packed or assembled, in export cartons sized to the order. Which of the two is better depends on how you store and fill them, and it is worth deciding at quotation stage rather than at shipment.
