Wholesale Packaging from China<\/h1>\n

Packaging is the cheapest part of a product by value and the most expensive part to get wrong. A carton printed on the wrong dieline is not a carton with a fault, it is a scrap run, and it happens after the plates are made.<\/p>\n

The second trap is that packaging is regulated twice over. The material has to be safe in contact with whatever it holds, and the print has to survive a supply chain that treats cartons as furniture. Neither shows on a screen proof.<\/p>\n

We have bought printed packaging alongside the products it protects for five years, for European and North American buyers. The notes below are the cluster map, realistic factory prices, and the checks that keep a print run usable.<\/p>\n

Cluster choice here is about the print method and the tooling a factory already runs every week. A factory that cuts your dieline shape daily will beat a cheaper quote from outside the cluster on registration, board waste and reprint risk.<\/p>\n

Approve the dieline before the artwork is laid out<\/h3>\n

The dieline is the drawing of the flattened box with the fold and cut lines. Artwork laid out on the wrong dieline prints perfectly and folds wrongly, and the error is only visible after the run. Ask for the dieline first, lay the artwork on it, then approve a printed dummy before plates are made.<\/p>\n

Food contact is a material question before it is a print question<\/h3>\n

A box around a bottle is not food contact packaging. A pouch that holds tea is. The film or board grade, the ink system and the adhesive all sit in scope, and the supplier has to give you a declaration of compliance for the material you actually bought, not for a similar one.<\/p>\n

Colour has to be judged on the press sheet<\/h3>\n

Brand colours shift on kraft, on uncoated board and through a laminate. A screen proof cannot show that. Approve a physical press sheet from the actual run, keep it as the reference, and pin the board grade in the specification so the next order starts from the same place.<\/p>\n

Freight is a bigger line on packaging than on the product<\/h3>\n

Packaging ships air. A carton that nests, a box that flat packs and a lighter board all cut the cost per unit more than an argument about the print price. Ask for the packed carton dimensions and the units per carton before comparing two quotations.<\/p>\n
