Frequently asked questions

We start from 100–500 units depending on print complexity. Simple designs tend to have lower MOQs. If you're a small business, ask specifically about short-run digital printing.

Yes. Most folding cartons are made from paperboard that goes straight into the blue bin. For stronger eco credentials, ask for FSC-certified board and soy-based inks but check what your printer actually uses, not just what they advertise.

Folding Box Board (FBB) is the most common rigid, lightweight, and prints well. Kraft board suits food and lifestyle brands wanting a natural look. For heavier products going through couriers, micro-flute gives better structural strength while still folding flat.

Typically 10–15 business days from artwork approval. Complex finishes like foil or embossing take longer. Always confirm your deadline in writing before signing off on artwork especially if you're working to a retail or launch date.

Yes, and you should. A physical sample is always better than a digital proof if finish and feel matter for your product. Some suppliers include it in the quote; others charge a small fee credited against your order.

The two main options are digital and litho (offset) printing. Digital suits smaller runs and faster turnarounds. For premium finishes, you can add spot UV, soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, or embossing popular choices for retail and gifting products in the UK market.
