How to Order — 5 Steps

Working with a factory in China is simpler than most buyers expect. Here is the entire journey from first message to cartons at your door, with the timeline for each step.

Send size, quantity and artwork — or just a sketch and your product info. Quote within 24 hours.

Dieline

Our engineers draw the structural dieline (24–48 hours) and the 3D mockup (within 1 working day) — free, revised until you approve.

3

Sampling

White Mockup (plain mockup) in 2–3 days; printed color sample with finishes 3–5 days. Judge the real thing.

4

What Happens at Each Step

Step 1 — Inquiry & Quotation

The more you tell us, the sharper the quote: box style (or product to package), dimensions, quantity, destination country, and any finish you have in mind. Don't have dimensions? Send a product photo — we'll propose the size. Every quote itemizes unit price, tooling (usually free for standard structures), and freight.

Step 2 — Dieline & Artwork

You approve the free dieline, then place your design on it (or we do). Our prepress team checks every file free — see artwork requirements. Nothing prints until you sign off a proof.

Step 3 — Sampling

You receive a physical sample to check structure, color and finish in your own hands. Sample cost is credited back on production orders in most cases. This is the moment to request changes — cheap now, expensive after production.

Step 4 — Production & QC

Mass production starts only after you approve the white mockup and sign the printed color sample — never before. Runs then execute under a 6-step QC process from incoming paper to final packing, inspected to AQL 2.5. You get photos of your actual order before it's packed — not stock photos.

Step 5 — Payment & Shipping

Standard terms are T/T 30% deposit, 70% balance against the B/L copy; L/C at sight for orders above US$100,000. We handle export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, B/L or airway bill, certificate of origin — plus FSC and MSDS when required. Small sample payments can also go by PayPal, Western Union or MoneyGram. Shipping options are detailed in Packing & Shipping.
