Two lines, one plant

Standard cartons, and the ones that have to feel expensive

Same factory, same tolerances, same QC. What changes is the construction, the handwork and the price — so a 1,000-unit launch carton and a 500-unit gift set can come from one supplier.

White and kraft folding cartons, one closed and one open
Standard

Folding cartons

Offset-printed solid board, one-piece construction. Straight tuck, reverse tuck, crash-lock or sleeve. Fast to run, cheap to ship flat, and what most 90–120 count lines actually use.

Rigid magnetic boxes in matte black and cream, one lid lifted
Premium

Rigid boxes

2.0–3.0 mm grey board, hand-wrapped, with hidden magnets, ribbon pulls or moulded inserts. Five formats: book-style, flip-top, lid-and-base, double-door and drawer. Roughly four times the handwork of a folding carton, which is why the format still reads expensive on a shelf.

Both lines run through the same prepress and QC. If a product launches in a folding carton and later moves up to a rigid box, the artwork and colour targets carry over — only the construction changes.

Out of the plant

From the bench, not from a renderer.

Every photo below is our own work, shot on the bench and at the QC table. Board, insert, caliper — the parts that go wrong when the supplier has not done it a thousand times.

What we actually build

Two box families, deep rather than wide. Everything else we turn down, because doing one thing well beats doing ten things adequately.

01

Folding cartons

350–400 gsm solid board, offset printed, die-cut and auto-glued. Straight tuck, reverse tuck, crash-lock and sleeve formats from 1,000 units.

02

Rigid magnetic boxes

2.0 mm grey board, hand-wrapped, hidden magnets, EVA or moulded-pulp inserts. The format buyers expect for gift sets, subscription packs and premium retail.

03

Inserts & finishing

EVA, flocked PET, moulded pulp and folded paperboard inserts cut to your bottle diameter. Foil, emboss, spot UV and soft-touch in-house.

Box constructions

Six constructions, two lines

One folding carton on the standard line, five rigid formats on the premium line. All six run through the same prepress and QC — what changes is the board, the handwork and the lead time.

Folding carton Standard

Folding carton

One-piece board, ships flat and erects in seconds. Straight tuck, reverse tuck, crash-lock or sleeve — the workhorse format for 90–120 count lines.

MOQ 1,00012–15 days
Book-style box Premium

Book-style box

Rigid tray with a flat hinged lid and no skirt, so it opens like a book cover. The flattest profile in the rigid family — built for shallow gift sets and mailers.

MOQ 50018–22 days
Flip-top box Premium

Flip-top box

Rigid tray with a deep skirted lid, hinged at the back. The skirt wraps the base on three sides, so the closed box reads as a single seam line.

MOQ 50018–22 days
Lid-and-base box Premium

Lid-and-base box

Two separate pieces: a shallow tray and a deep-skirted lid that lifts off entirely. The classic presentation format, usually fitted with a shoulder insert.

MOQ 50018–22 days
Double-door box Premium

Double-door box

A rigid frame with two doors hinged left and right, meeting at the centre. Used for multi-bottle sets and subscription kits where the reveal is the point.

MOQ 50020–24 days
Drawer box Premium

Drawer box

Printed outer sleeve over a sliding inner tray, with a finger notch or ribbon pull. Ships assembled, and the slide-out is the unboxing moment.

MOQ 50018–22 days

Board grades, inserts and tolerances for all six

Inserts & trays

The insert is what stops the bottle moving

Every box gets a tray cut to your bottle's outside diameter — flocked PET, PU foam, EPE or folded paperboard. It keeps the cap off the lid, holds the desiccant in place, and decides how the box feels the moment it opens.

All eight insert formats

Inside the plant

You are buying from a building, not from an inbox.

Printing, die-cutting, gluing and hand assembly happen in one factory in Ningbo — not across four subcontractors you will never see. These are our machines and our floor.

Questions buyers ask

The five things that come up in every first call

If yours is not here, message us on WhatsApp — we answer in plain English, not in a sales deck.

What is your real minimum order?
1,000 pieces for offset-printed cartons, 100 for digital print. Foil or emboss pushes the offset minimum to 2,000 because of the die cost. There is no setup fee hidden behind the minimum.
Can you send a sample before I commit?
Yes. A white structural sample in your size ships in 7 days — free, you cover the courier. A printed proof comes after artwork approval. We do not charge for the first round of structural changes.
Do you handle the tariffs and shipping?
We quote DDP to your US address as standard, so the number you see includes freight and duty. We also quote FOB Ningbo if you have your own forwarder. Current tariff treatment is confirmed at the time of quotation, not assumed.
Is the board actually food-contact compliant?
Every food-contact quotation includes a supplier Declaration of Compliance referencing FDA 21 CFR 176.170 / 176.180, plus the ink and adhesive statements. Full document list is on the compliance page.
What do you need to give me a firm price?
Bottle spec, fill count, artwork status, destination market and annual volume. With those five we return a firm number in one business day. Without them we return a range and a list of assumptions.

Send the specs you just built.

Your configuration is pre-filled below. Add your email and we will come back within one business day with a landed cost — duties included.
