FAQ

Q: Can the metallic gold finish be applied to the entire carton or only specific panels?

A: Both options are available. Full-wrap metallic gold foil lamination covers every panel for maximum shelf impact. Alternatively, we can apply selective cold-foil transfer to specific areas — such as the logo, borders, or decorative motifs — while keeping other panels in printed CMYK, reducing cost without sacrificing luxury appeal.

Q: What window film options are available, and is a plastic-free alternative possible?

A: Standard windows use 0.3 mm clear PET film for excellent clarity and durability. For brands pursuing plastic-free packaging, we offer compostable PLA (polylactic acid) window film that is industrially compostable per EN 13432 and provides comparable transparency. Custom window shapes — circles, arches, logo silhouettes — are available with either material.

Q: What is the MOQ and how quickly can I receive samples?

A: The minimum order quantity is 500 units for standard sizes and finishes. We provide free pre-production samples within 5–7 working days so you can evaluate the metallic finish, window clarity, and structural integrity before committing to a production run. Production lead time is 10–15 working days after sample approval.

Q: How does Bincai ensure the metallic foil won’t peel or scratch during shipping?

A: Every batch undergoes a cross-hatch tape peel adhesion test (ASTM D3359) and visual inspection for bubbles, scratches, and delamination. Our Bobst SP 102 BMA die-cutter and inline foil stations maintain consistent pressure and temperature, and finished cartons are flat-packed with interleaving tissue to prevent surface scuffing during transit. ISTA 2A drop and vibration tests validate packaging durability.

Q: Can you match a specific brand Pantone colour for the gold tone and other printed elements?

A: Absolutely. We print on KBA Rapida 105 and Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 presses with full Pantone spot-colour capability. Our pre-press team creates GMG soft proofs and Epson contract proofs held to ΔE ≤ 2.0 from your target. Hot-foil stamping is available in gold, rose gold, silver, copper, and holographic finishes, and metallic foil lamination can be tinted to match your brand’s exact gold shade.
