Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to get a quote?

You can configure a product and see pricing right away. Creating a free account lets you save that quote, upload artwork, and place your order.

What's the difference between stock and custom?

Stock packaging ships fast in standard sizes and materials. Custom printed packaging is produced to your exact artwork and specifications with a longer lead time.

Is there a minimum order?

Minimums depend on the product and whether it's stock or custom. Stock items have low minimums; custom runs have a minimum that's shown while you configure.
