Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions our customers ask the most.
Our standard MOQ is just 20 pieces. We welcome trial, sample and small-batch orders to help you test your market before you scale — and you pay the same quality standard and fast turnaround as our bulk clients.
Quotations are usually sent within a few hours. Physical samples can be produced in as fast as 3 days (paper boxes), 5 days (notebooks) and 5 days (paper bags) after design confirmation.

Like a sample? We reproduce it exactly — including magnetic closures, hot stamping, foil, embossing and special finishes.
Absolutely — small brands, startups and single-product sellers are our bread and butter. That's exactly why our low MOQ exists. We act as your own factory and production team, handling everything from design to delivery.
We run 4 dedicated QC inspectors plus a fully automatic quality inspection machine. Every production line is inspected, finished products are checked before shipping with written instructions and records, and all raw materials are traceable by lot. We're also Intertek-assessed.
Payment: T/T, L/C, Paypal, Western Union, MoneyGram and more. Shipping terms: FOB, CIF, EXW, CFR, FCA and more from Shenzhen Port. We ship worldwide by sea, air or courier.

Typical production lead time after design confirmation: paper boxes 10–15 days, notebooks 15–20 days, paper bags 10–14 days. Rigid gift formats such as magnetic, drawer and lid & base boxes take 12–16 days. Express options are available for tight deadlines.
Absolutely. We support OEM and private-label production with your own logo, colors and branding applied to boxes, notebooks and bags — via logo printing, labels, hot stamping, embossing and more. Send your artwork and we'll bring it to life.
Our minimum order quantity starts from just 20 pieces. We specifically support independent brands, startups, and product developers who need small batch trial runs to validate new product packaging before committing to high-volume manufacturing.
Yes. Our foldable magnetic boxes are engineered with precision 4-corner collapsible score lines and peel-and-seal industrial double-sided adhesive tape. They ship 100% flat, reducing freight volume by up to 75% compared to pre-assembled rigid boxes and drastically lowering international air and sea shipping costs.
Plain unprinted structural samples are completed within 48 hours to confirm dimensional fit. Fully printed and surface-finished custom samples (with your exact brand artwork, foil stamping, and custom foam insert) take 3–5 working days.
