The simple answer is that it depends. White colour is typically not considered a separate colour for most orders. As white is the default colour of paper, it is simply recognized as the absence of any ink. However, when using coloured paper for particular projects, white ink may be used if any text or graphic requires it.

No, there are no minimum order quantities. You can order as few cartons as you like. Ordering a few cartons or boxes is perfect if you would like a sample to check quality and artwork layout before committing to a larger order. Due to initial costs involved in setting up a print job, ordering bigger quantities will typically result in a lower per unit cost.

While we do an extensive quality check before shipping an order, given the nature of the printing business, it is possibility that a few defective pieces may make their way to you. If you find any defective pieces, please let us know and we will be happy to discuss all possible options to resolve the issues to your satisfaction.

A window in the context of a folding carton is simply a shape that has been die-cut and stripped from the carton. This creates an empty space that allows a customer to see the contents of a box or carton. These windows can be left uncovered or covered with a thin plastic sheet depending on your requirements.

Order for a sample box can take 6-8 business days to produce depending on the complexity of the design. Bulk orders of branded folding cartons can take approximately 10-12 business days to print.

Australian food packaging requirements dictate that folding cartons must be fit for their intended purpose, not likely to cause food contamination, and should ensure no contamination during the packaging process.

Australian national packaging targets include making all packaging reusable, recyclable, or compostable. Additional targets include recycling or composting 70% of plastic packaging and achieving the use of 50% average recycled content in packaging manufacturing by 2025.

Folding cartons offer a wide range of customization options to suit branding and product requirements. Brands can choose from full-colour printing methods, including offset, digital, and flexography. Design features may include intricate die-cut shapes, embossing or debossing, and premium finishes such as matte or gloss lamination, foil stamping, and spot UV

For added shelf appeal, transparent windows can be incorporated to provide product visibility and enhance buyer trust, and are an especially useful feature when packaging food and cosmetic items.
