The quantity you need
Compare demand per item, order frequency, storage limits and the risk of unused packaging after a product or artwork change.

I need lower minimums
Explore production methods and suppliers whose economic quantities may better fit what you can actually use.
Find the Right Production QuantityWhy this happens
Setup, printing plates, tooling, material purchasing and manual finishing can make short runs expensive. A supplier's minimum may reflect its equipment and scheduling rather than the only way to produce your package.
What DBS evaluates
Suitable production methods
Consider short-run digital printing, other appropriate processes, simpler finishes or standard structures where they satisfy your requirements. Combination runs depend on supplier compatibility and timing.
Total commitment
Compare setup and tooling, price per unit, freight and the total purchase. A smaller run may cost more per unit while reducing stock exposure.
How the review works
- Tell us your preferred quantity and likely repeat demand. Estimates are useful; a firm forecast is not required to begin.
- DBS reviews the package and obtains feasible quantity tiers from appropriate routes.
- Compare the cash, stock and unit-cost tradeoffs; validate samples if the production method or package changes.
What to bring
Desired units per item, number of artwork versions, an existing box or concept, and your storage or budget constraints.
You can describe the need in your own words. Start with what you have; DBS will identify what is missing before quoting or production.

What supports a recommendation?
Your review should reference the relevant specification, dated supplier or freight quotations, and sample or test evidence where needed. A concept image is not a completed customer project or a performance result. See how DBS verifies customer evidence and approvals.
