FAQ
Q: What is the MOQ for this auto-bottom folding carton?
A: Standard MOQ is 1,000 units. For first-time sample orders we can accommodate 500 units to help you evaluate quality before committing to production volumes.
Q: Can the auto-bottom mechanism be changed to a different closure style?
A: Yes. We also offer tuck-top with crash-lock bottom, straight tuck, reverse tuck, and seal-end styles. The auto-bottom is recommended for cosmetic filling lines because it assembles in under 3 seconds per box without adhesive.
