A first-order packaging checklist that covers product dimensions, artwork status, material choice, finish direction, MOQ reality, and the 25% discount offer.

Reading notes.

Practical Packaging Decisions.

Product Dimensions And Weight

Provide exact bottle, jar, or tube dimensions including closure height and widest point. Add clearance for foam, tissue, or paperboard insert needs. Glass items need extra support planning.

Artwork Status And Print Needs

Artwork should be print-ready at 300 DPI with CMYK colors. Outline all fonts or provide font files. Keep critical copy at least 0.125 inches from trim edges. Include barcodes in the proof.

Material And Finish Selection

SBS cardstock works for standard retail cartons. Kraft suits natural or minimal branding. Corrugated is for mailers. Rigid board creates premium presentation. Match finish to brand position and budget.

MOQ Reality Check

Most folding cartons start at 100 units. Mylar bags start at 250 units. Paper tubes start at 500 units. Confirm the MOQ against your structure and finish before requesting a quote.

Proof And Approval Process

Request a digital or physical proof before approving the full order. Review colors, text, positioning, and insert fit. Once approved, artwork is locked for production.

First Order Savings

First orders can include 25% off after packaging details are reviewed. Send a quote request to confirm eligibility and learn about sample kit options.
