Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the differences between SBS, CCNB, and coated kraft for folding cartons? SBS (solid bleached sulphate, 250-400gsm) offers the brightest white surface and best print reproduction — ideal for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and premium retail where color vibrancy matters. CCNB (clay-coated newsback, 350gsm) is an economical option with a grey/brown reverse side, suitable for inner cartons and budget-conscious retail. Coated unbleached kraft (18-24pt) provides a natural kraft aesthetic with a printable coated surface — perfect for organic and eco-positioned brands. We stock all three grades and can advise based on your product weight, display environment, and budget.

Q: Can you match my brand’s specific Pantone color with gold foil? Yes. We maintain a library of 200+ foil colors including standard gold, matte gold, rose gold, copper, silver, holographic, and custom-tinted foils. We can match foil to your Pantone color or brand palette. Our Heidelberg 7+1 UV press provides precise registration for foil-to-print alignment within ±0.1mm. We provide a foil stamping proof on your actual board stock within 3-5 working days for approval.

Q: What finishing options work best for luxury cosmetics packaging? The combination of soft-touch lamination (velvet-like tactile feel) with gold foil logo stamping and spot UV on key design elements creates a premium unboxing experience. For fragrance and skincare, we recommend 350gsm SBS with matte lamination, gold hot stamp, and embossed logo — this combination is proven in Sephora, Ulta, and department store retail environments. For high-end jewelry packaging, add a rigid insert tray inside the folding carton for product protection.

Q: Do you offer window patching for product visibility? Yes. We offer die-cut window patching with PET (crystal clear), PVC (economical), or PLA (compostable bioplastic) film options. Windows can be any custom shape — rectangles, ovals, hearts, or brand logo outlines. Our Bobst die-cutter achieves ±0.3mm window-to-print registration. For food products, all window films are food-contact safe and FDA/EFSA compliant. For eco-conscious brands, PLA windows paired with FSC board provide a sustainable window box solution.

Q: What is your typical lead time from order to delivery? Pre-production samples ship in 5-7 working days with digital or wet-proof printing. After sample approval, mass production takes 12-18 working days depending on complexity (foil stamping, embossing, and window patching add 2-3 days each). Die-cut tooling requires 3-5 working days for new sizes. Sea freight to US West Coast: 12-15 days, Europe: 22-28 days. Air freight available for urgent orders (3-5 days). We ship FOB Shenzhen/Guangzhou, and can arrange door-to-door DDP service.

Q: Can you handle food-grade and child-resistant packaging requirements? Yes. We produce food-contact safe folding cartons using FDA 21 CFR 176.170 and EU 1935/2004 compliant materials, inks, and adhesives. For pharmaceutical and supplement packaging, we offer child-resistant (CR) certified structures with push-and-turn or squeeze-and-slide mechanisms. All food and pharma orders include full material traceability documentation and certificates of compliance. Our ISO 9001:2015 system ensures batch-level traceability from raw material to finished carton.`
