FAQ
Q: Will the soft-touch lamination scratch or wear during shipping?
A: Our 25μm BOPP soft-touch film is abrasion-resistant and passes ISTA 1A drop testing. For high-friction shipping environments, we offer an optional 30μm heavy-duty film. The matte surface also resists fingerprint marks better than gloss finishes.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for custom cosmetics cartons?
A: MOQ is 1,000 units for standard constructions. For cartons with foil stamping or soft-touch lamination, MOQ is 3,000 units. Sample turnaround is 5-7 days with free pre-production samples.
Q: Can you match a specific brand color for the carton?
A: Yes. We print CMYK + Pantone spot colors and match within ΔE ≤2.0 using X-Rite spectrophotometry. For foil stamping, gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic foils are available — custom foil colors require 5,000+ unit orders.
Q: How long does production take?
A: Standard lead time is 10-14 days after artwork approval. Rush orders can be expedited to 7 days with a 20% surcharge. Sampling takes 5-7 days.
Q: Can the carton be made with a window to show the product?
A: Yes. We offer die-cut PET/PVC windows in any shape, full-panel acetate windows, and double-window configurations. Window film thickness ranges from 0.2mm to 0.5mm with anti-fog options for refrigerated products.
