Ask a QuestionWhat information is needed for a quote?+
Share the product type, dimensions, desired box style, quantity, material preference, printing and finish requirements, delivery destination, and artwork or reference photos when available.
What are your minimum order quantities?+
Minimums vary by structure, material, print method, finishing, and manufacturing path. Direct Box Supply identifies the most practical low-minimum option for each project.
Can I request a quote without a dieline?+
Yes. A dieline is helpful but not required to begin. Product dimensions, photos, a physical sample, or a reference package can help the team recommend a structure.
Can you help with artwork and dielines?+
Yes. Dieline guidance, artwork review, and production proofing are available. Final artwork approval remains the customer’s responsibility.
Can I get samples before full production?+
Yes. Available options may include existing samples, blank structural samples, digital mockups, prototypes, or production samples. Cost and timing depend on the project.
How long does custom packaging take?+
Timing depends on structure, quantity, sampling, print method, finishing, production location, and shipping. Your quote will provide the project-specific schedule.
Do you offer sustainable materials?+
Yes. Options may include kraft, recycled-content paperboard, recyclable corrugated, molded pulp, and reduced-material structures, subject to project requirements.
Can you match Pantone colors?+
Pantone matching is available for qualifying print methods and materials. Physical color can vary by substrate, coating, ink system, and finish, so proofs and samples may be recommended.
Can you create custom inserts?+
Yes. Paperboard, corrugated, molded pulp, and foam inserts can be engineered around the product and desired unboxing experience.
Do you ship throughout the United States?+
Yes. Domestic shipping is available, with international options considered based on production route and destination.
