Packaging & Printing
Custom boxes, bags, labels and display packaging. Packaging is the cheapest part of most products and the most visible — which is why print color, material grade and structural design deserve the same discipline as the product inside. This is also the industry where proofs, not promises, decide the result.
What the supply base covers
Corrugated and rigid boxes, paper and plastic bags, stickers and labels, blister and insert trays, gift packaging and POS display stands. Printing clusters offer offset, digital, flexo and specialty processes (foil stamping, embossing, spot UV) — the right process depends on quantity and finish expectations, and the quotes differ accordingly.
Quality checkpoints that matter
- Proof before production: a physical printed proof using the same process and material as the production run
- Color accuracy against Pantone references, especially for brand-critical colors
- Material spec honesty: cardboard flute, paper grammage and coating weight as quoted
- Structural function: boxes must actually close, hold and stack — size tolerance accumulates with each panel
Prices and MOQs are indicative, not quotes. Packaging unit price drops steeply with quantity, which is why many buyers combine packaging orders with their product orders.
MOQ and lead times
Printed boxes commonly start at 1,000–2,000 pieces per design; labels and bags vary by process. Lead times run 15–30 days — packaging is usually the fastest item in a mixed order, but it gates final packing, so it should be ordered first, not last.
How Supply666 handles packaging orders
- Dieline and artwork review before quoting — structure problems caught early cost nothing
- Physical proof management with Pantone-based color approval
- Consolidation with product orders so packaging arrives at the factory before the goods do
Common questions
I only have a rough idea, not print files. Can you still quote?
Yes. Send dimensions, quantity and a reference photo; we produce a dieline for your designer or a simple layout ourselves for simple box types.
Can packaging orders combine with my product order in one shipment?
Yes — that's the usual setup. We schedule packaging production so it reaches the product factory before mass production finishes.
What about eco-friendly materials?
Recycled boards, FSC-certified paper and soy-based inks are available options. Certification claims should be verified in writing — we handle that check as part of sourcing.
