RFQ Preparation
A useful custom packaging quote starts with one clear production specification. You do not need every detail finalized, but a factory needs enough information to identify the material, print, finishing and packing route being priced. Use this checklist to prepare a packaging quotation request that suppliers can review on the same basis.
Read How to Request a Custom Packaging QuotePaper boxes and clear plastic boxes solve different packaging problems. The right choice depends on product visibility, brand surface, material preference, shelf display, structure and target market requirements.
Read Paper Box vs Clear Plastic BoxThis guide covers production-file preparation and prepress review for buyer-supplied packaging artwork. It does not promise original graphic design or carton-artwork creation. A usable file needs the correct dieline, bleed, safe areas, color setup, linked assets and clearly identified finish instructions before sampling.
Read Custom Packaging Artwork RequirementsA packaging finish changes appearance, touch, artwork preparation and production cost. Chaohualong's public equipment list supports UV coating and hot stamping. Lamination, embossing, specialty papers, spot effects and process combinations are not treated as standard capabilities until the factory confirms them for the selected material, structure and artwork.
Read Packaging Printing FinishesPackaging material should be chosen from the product outward. Weight, size, shelf display, touch, printing, storage and destination market all affect whether paperboard, a stronger paper structure, plastic sheet or label stock is suitable.
