The minimum order quantity depends on the box structure, dimensions, material, printing method, finishing processes, and number of artwork versions. Custom cosmetic boxes wholesale with one design may be more efficient to produce than the same total quantity divided across several colors or product variations.
A structural sample is useful for checking size, fit, opening method, and insert performance. A printed sample allows buyers to review color, coating, foil, texture, and overall presentation. Confirm the available sample type, cost, and sample lead time before finalizing the order.
After sample approval, the final dieline, artwork, material specification, finishes, quantity, packing method, and quality requirements should be recorded. Production time should be confirmed after these details are approved because additional finishing, hand assembly, special materials, and complex inserts may affect the schedule.
