BUYER QUESTIONS

What happens before production?

How should I choose the capacity?

Measure the real meal and allow practical loading and closing clearance. Capacity labels alone can hide differences in shape, usable base area and lid space.

Does every takeaway box prevent leaks?

No. Board, barrier, folds, corners, closure, food temperature and holding time all matter. Test the selected structure with the actual meal.

What is the minimum order quantity?

MOQ is flexible by structure. Size, board, coating, tooling, print and packing must be reviewed before the practical minimum is confirmed.

Can the box be used in a microwave or freezer?

Do not assume special-use suitability. State the exact temperature and use condition so written support for the final material can be checked.

Can I check a sample first?

Available stock samples are free, with freight paid by the buyer. Custom samples are charged first, and the fee is credited after a bulk order.

How long does the process take?

The current target is a first digital mockup within 3 hours during China working hours after usable customer artwork. After visual approval and payment of the sampling fee, a custom sample can be dispatched within 7 days. After sample approval and payment, most orders dispatch from the factory within 30 days.
