FAQ
Do you supply cannabis and hemp packaging that meets US state regulations?
Yes. For markets that require child-resistant (CR) formats, we produce CR pouches, tubes, and folding cartons tested to ASTM D3478 / CPSC protocols, and we can add opaque exit bags and tamper-evident seals. Share your state and product type and we’ll match the compliant structure.
Are your cosmetic boxes FDA- and EU-compliant for US and European retail?
For US cosmetics we avoid regulated color additives in direct-contact layers and supply FDA 21 CFR 175.300-compliant food-contact coatings on request; for the EU we support EU 10/2011 and can document material declarations. We also handle fragrance and serum boxes with foil, soft-touch, and window options.
How do I pick the right ECT rating for e-commerce shipping boxes?
ECT (Edge Crush Test) predicts stacking strength. Use ECT 32 for shipments under ~30 lb, ECT 44 for 30–65 lb or multi-box pallets, and ECT 48–61 for heavy or long-haul stacks. We’ll recommend board grade and flute (B, E, or BE double-wall) once we know weight, dims, and transit mode.
Can you make food-contact-safe or food-grade packaging?
Yes. We offer food-grade liners, grease-resistant barriers, and PFAS-free coatings, and can supply FSC-certified board for paper straws, bakery, and confectionery packaging. We document compliance on request for your QA file.
What sustainability certifications do you hold?
We are FSC-certified and routinely use recycled-content board and soy-based inks. Our materials are PPWR-ready for the EU, and we can provide material-declaration and recyclability notes to support your ESG reporting.
What is the MOQ and lead time when ordering across different industries?
MOQ starts at 100 pieces. Samples ship in 7–15 days and standard production runs in 15–25 days after artwork approval, with air or sea freight to 80+ countries. Mixed-SKU programs across industries are supported under one PO.

- Q: What is the typical MOQ for Wholesale Paper Boxes?A: MOQs vary by technique. For digitally printed short runs, MOQs can start as low as 100-200 units. For offset-printed Luxury Jewelry Packaging or Custom Wine Boxes, MOQs typically start at 500-1,000 units to justify setup costs.
- Q: What are the premium material options for luxury packaging?A: For high-end Custom Packaging Solutions, we use Art Paper, premium Coated Cardstock, Kraft Paper (250-300gsm), and specialty stocks like linen or cotton-based board.

- Q: Can I order a mix of different products in one order?A: Often, yes. You can combine different Wholesale Paper Boxes designs or even product types (e.g., some Custom Candle Boxes and some Custom Apparel Boxes) in one order to meet the overall MOQ, provided they share similar production specs.
- Q: Do you offer structural and graphic design services?A: Yes, we provide full-service Custom Packaging Solutions. Our team can design unique box structures, create compelling graphics, and advise on materials and finishes to make your product stand out, whether it’s for Luxury Jewelry Packaging or retail products.
