Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the PLA window truly compostable — what conditions does it need? A: Yes. PLA (polylactic acid) derived from corn starch is certified compostable under EN 13432. It requires industrial composting conditions: 58°C ±2°C, ≥50% humidity, and microbial activity — typically found in municipal composting facilities. Under these conditions, our 50μm PLA window fully biodegrades within 12 weeks. In home compost (20-30°C), degradation is slower (6-12 months). For consumers without compost access, the window can be removed and the kraft box recycled in the standard paper stream. We also offer a film-free open window option for maximum end-of-life simplicity.

Q: Are soy-based inks truly eco-friendly, and how do they compare to conventional inks? A: Soy-based inks contain 20-30% soybean oil (renewable resource) replacing petroleum-derived solvents in the vehicle. Benefits: (1) VOC emissions reduced by 85-90% versus conventional petroleum inks, (2) easier de-inking during paper recycling (higher fiber yield), (3) non-toxic and biodegradable — safe for indirect food contact packaging like soap and candle boxes, (4) RoHS compliant (heavy-metal-free pigments). Print quality is comparable to conventional offset inks — sharp text, solid coverage, and good adhesion on uncoated kraft. The slightly higher ink cost (~5-8%) is offset by sustainability marketing value.

Q: What’s the difference between FSC Recycled and FSC Mix certification? A: FSC Recycled (our kraft board certification) means the fiber is 100% from post-consumer reclaimed material — verified through the entire supply chain. FSC Mix means the product contains a mixture of FSC-certified virgin fiber, recycled material, and/or controlled wood. For brands making “100% recycled” claims, FSC Recycled is the appropriate certification — and it’s what Bincai’s kraft board carries. Our FSC certificate number is FSC-C147358.

Q: How do you ensure the kraft box looks premium despite being eco-friendly? A: Eco-friendly doesn’t mean cheap-looking. Our kraft board is produced with uniform fiber distribution for a consistent, clean surface — no visible specks or streaks. The die-cut window edges are clean and precise (Bobst SP 102-E ±0.15mm). Soy-based ink prints sharp on kraft — black ink on brown kraft creates a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic highly popular in the natural cosmetics market. For elevated eco-luxury, gold or copper foil stamping on kraft creates stunning contrast. We’ve supplied kraft window boxes to premium soap and candle brands across the US, EU, and Australia that command $15-45 retail price points.

Q: What’s your minimum order quantity and what’s the sample process? A: MOQ starts at 500 units for standard kraft boxes with rectangular window. Custom window shapes, foil stamping, or multi-color printing start at 1,000 units. Free pre-production samples: we provide a digital proof within 24 hours and ship a physical sample in 3-5 business days via DHL/FedEx. Production lead time: 7-10 working days for standard specifications, 10-15 days for custom tooling (new window shape or foil die). We also offer rush service: 5-7 days at 15% surcharge.
