Common questions

Before you request a sample.

Can paper inserts replace plastic trays?

Often yes, especially for gift sets, cosmetics and light products. Heavy or fragile items may still need a stronger structure.

Do inserts need a separate dieline?

Yes. Inserts usually need their own dieline because the fold, slot and product openings must match the product layout.

Share the box or bag style, size, quantity and destination. Artwork is helpful, but not required for the first estimate. If your project has recycled paper, FSC paper, plastic-free packaging or supplier code requirements, send them before sampling.
