FAQs
What’s the typical MOQ?
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the packaging format and printing method. Digital printing offers flexibility for smaller production runs — ideal for testing or niche lines — while flexo and offset printing are optimized for larger volumes and cost efficiency. Our team helps determine the most economical option based on your specific needs.
Can you hold inventory?
Yes. Through our partner warehouse network, we can store finished goods and manage ongoing deliveries. We also offer Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs for critical SKUs, ensuring availability and optimized replenishment based on your real-time usage data.
How long do samples take?
Structural white samples can usually be produced and delivered within a few days for size and fit validation. Printed samples or color proofs depend on the print method and complexity of the design — digital proofs are fastest, while offset or flexo proofs may require a slightly longer lead time to ensure accuracy.
Do you manage artwork?
Yes. We provide full artwork support including dieline templates, preflight checking, and color management. Our process ensures print-ready files meet technical requirements and maintain consistent brand quality across materials, formats, and markets.
