Multi-Stage Quality Control and Export Shipping to Your Port
Three inspection stages, standard export packing and a tracking number when it leaves.
How It Works
Quality control is organised in three stages rather than one final check, because most packaging defects are cheaper to catch before the press than after the carton is sealed. Adhering to international ISO standards, we pursue zero defects on every unit that leaves the factory.
Incoming material inspection
Paper weight, shade and board construction are verified against the approved sample before the job is scheduled.
In-process inspection
Colour, register, die-cut accuracy and glue lines are monitored while the run is on the machine, so a drifting job is corrected rather than scrapped.
Pre-shipment inspection
Dimensional deviation, printing defects, glue separation and deformation are all checked before sealing. Detailed photos of each process stage are sent to you during production.
Packing and shipping
Goods go out in standard exporting packaging. Express via DHL, UPS, TNT or FedEx takes 3 to 5 working days; sea freight takes 10 to 30 working days. The tracking number is issued as soon as the shipment moves.
The Six-Stage Customisation Process
Every order moves through the same six stages, whichever capability brought you here.
Clarify needs and communicate
You send dimensions (length, width, height), quantity, target delivery date and budget, plus brand positioning and what goes inside the pack - fragile goods, food, apparel. That is enough for us to propose a structure and a stock.
Design concepts and material selection
Work from your artwork or ask our designers to build it. Logo, colour system and slogan are placed on the structure, and we fix the material - cardboard, corrugated, kraft or speciality paper - together with the surface treatment.
Proofing and finalisation
We make a physical sample for you to check dimensions, colour, material feel and craftsmanship. Once you sign off, mass production is run strictly to that sample.
Sample assembly and trial assembly
Once the production dies and components are ready we assemble everything - paper structure, accessories, printed parts - to verify fit, opening and closing action and structural stability before the batch starts.
Mass production and processing
Printing, die-cutting and bonding run on automated equipment with mature colour control. You get regular progress feedback while the order is on the floor.
Quality inspection, packing and shipping
Every unit passes the pre-shipment check, then goes into standard exporting packaging. We send the tracking number once the shipment leaves.
Three Inspection Stages Not One
Most packaging defects are cheaper to catch before the press than after the carton is sealed.
Incoming materials
Paper weight, shade and board construction are checked against the approved sample before anything reaches the press.
In-process production
Colour, register, die-cut accuracy and glue lines are monitored while the run is on the machine.
Pre-shipment inspection
Dimensions, printing defects, glue separation and deformation are checked before cartons are sealed.
About 30% shorter than the industry-standard waiting period.
Samples are free; you cover the freight.
Low MOQ so you can test a design before a full run.
Per line, across bags, boxes, labels and wrapping paper.

The Rest of What We Handle In-House
Quality Control and Export - Common Questions
Can we get some samples? Are there any charges?
Yes. You can get available samples from our stock. Real samples are free; you cover the freight cost.
What file format do you want for printing?
AI, PDF, CDR, PSD or EPS. Send the working file rather than a flattened image so foil, spot UV and die-cut layers stay separable.
What are the trade and payment terms?
100% or 50% of the total value is paid before production starts. We accept T/T, Western Union, L/C, PayPal and cash, and terms can be negotiated.
How do I know my goods have been shipped?
Detailed photos of every process stage are sent to you during production, and we supply the tracking number once the order ships.
How do we get a quote?
Send the specification: material, size, shape, colour, quantity and surface finishing. Dimensions and quantity alone are enough for an indicative price.
