FAQ

Our factory is located in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China.

We are a professional manufacturer with our own independent production facility located in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China. We specialize in the high-quality production of custom food boxes.

Brothersbox is a premier manufacturer specializing in high-end custom food packaging boxes. Established in 1997, we have nearly three decades of experience in structural design, high-quality printing, and sustainable packaging solutions. We operate our own full-service factory to ensure every box meets international quality standards.

Our factory operates with a dedicated team of over 300 staff members and spans an impressive area of 13,000 square meters. It is organized into five key departments: Design, Development, Production, Sales & Marketing, and Service. With this robust structure, we deliver comprehensive, one-stop packaging solutions tailored to meet your needs.

Brothersbox is equipped to handle both boutique runs and massive wholesale orders. Thanks to our fully automated production lines, our monthly capacity reaches 800,000 pieces of custom packaging boxes. This allows us to guarantee stable lead times and fast delivery, even during peak seasons.

We invest heavily in advanced technology to ensure premium quality. Our factory is equipped with world-class machinery, including imported Heidelberg offset printing presses, automated die-cutting machines, high-speed folder-gluers, and automated surface finishing equipment (for laminating, hot foil stamping, and embossing). This ensures high precision and vibrant colors for every box.

We have possessed various qualifications, including ISO9001/14001, SA8000, FSC, EUDR, BSCI, Sedex, etc. All of our food-grade packaging materials, including paper, coatings, and inks, are fully compliant with FDA and EU food contact regulations to ensure 100% safety.

Our standard MOQ is 500 units per design. We set this limit primarily to ensure that you receive the most cost-effective unit price. In the custom printing industry, significant fixed costs are involved in prepress setup, plate making, and machine calibration. Splitting these costs over 500 units allows us to maintain high-quality production while keeping the price per item competitive for your business.

Our standard payment term is a 30% deposit to initiate production, with the remaining 70% balance due after mass production is completed and approved, but prior to shipment. We accept various secure payment methods, including T/T (Wire Transfer), Credit Card, and PayPal.

We offer fully customizable solutions to match your brand identity. You can customize: Dimensions & Shapes: Tailored to fit your specific food items (e.g., chocolate, dry fruits & nuts, mooncake, tea, honey, candy & sweets). Material Options: Kraft paper, corrugated board, ivory board, grease-proof paper, and sustainable biodegradable options. Finishing & Printing: CMYK/Pantone printing, glossy/matte lamination, gold/silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and UV coating. Functional Add-ons: Clear PET windows, custom inserts, and grease-resistant linings.

To ensure the highest printing precision, we prefer vectorized files in AI (Adobe Illustrator), PDF, or EPS formats. We also accept high-resolution PSD or CDR files.

Yes. We have a professional team having rich experience in food packaging box design and manufacturing. Just tell us your ideas, and we will help to carry out your ideas into perfect boxes. It does not matter if you do not have someone to complete files. Send us high-resolution images, your logo and text and tell us how you would like to arrange them. We will send you finished files for confirmation.

Absolutely. We offer two types of sampling: Digital Mock-up: A free 3D rendering to visualize the design. Physical Sample: We can produce a "White Sample" (unprinted) for structural testing or a "Production Sample" (fully printed with finishes) to verify color and quality. Sampling usually takes 3-7 business days, and the sample fee is often refundable upon your bulk order.

Absolutely. At Brothersbox, food safety is our top priority. All our food packaging boxes are manufactured using FDA-approved, food-grade paperboard and eco-friendly, soy-based inks. Our production facilities strictly adhere to international hygiene and safety standards, ensuring that your packaging is 100% safe, non-toxic, and odorless.

Quality is our lifeline. We implement a rigorous "Triple-Check" QC system: IQC (Incoming Quality Control): Testing raw materials (paper, glue, ink) for durability and eco-compliance. IPQC (In-Process Quality Control): Real-time monitoring during printing and assembly. FQC (Final Quality Control): A final inspection of finished goods based on AQL 2.5/4.0 standards to ensure color accuracy, structural integrity, and flawless finishing.

We offer two sampling options to meet your needs: Digital/White Mock-up: Usually takes 2-3 working days. This is ideal for checking the structural integrity and dimensions of the box. Full Production Sample: Usually takes 5-7 working days. This sample uses actual materials, printing, and finishing techniques (like foil stamping or UV coating) to provide a 100% accurate representation of the final product. Once the sample is ready, international express shipping (DHL/FedEx) typically takes an additional 7-10 days to reach your office.

Our standard lead time for mass production is typically 20 to 25 days after sample approval and deposit receipt. This timeframe may vary slightly based on the complexity of the box structure and the order quantity. We also offer expedited production services for urgent marketing launches upon request.

To ensure your custom boxes arrive in pristine condition, we flat-pack them into high-strength, double-wall corrugated export cartons. Flat-packing not only prevents warping and crushing during transit but also optimizes shipping space to save on your freight costs.

While the shipping cartons are intended for outer transit protection and not direct food contact, all our primary packaging materials (the custom boxes inside) are made from 100% food-grade materials with relevant certifications (FDA/FSC). For the outer packing, we use clean, eco-friendly, and odorless materials to ensure no cross-contamination occurs during storage and transit.

Yes, for bulk sea or air freight, we offer professional palletization services (plastic or heat-treated wooden pallets). Each pallet is securely shrink-wrapped and strapped to provide maximum stability and ease of unloading via forklift at your destination.

We provide a comprehensive range of shipping solutions tailored to your budget and urgency. This includes Express Shipping (DHL/FedEx/UPS) for small batches or samples, Air Freight for medium-sized orders requiring faster turnaround, and Sea Freight (LCL/FCL) for large-scale production to ensure maximum cost-effectiveness.

Sample Orders: 3-7 days for production plus 3-5 days for express shipping (DHL/FedEx/UPS). Total turnaround: 1-2 weeks. We accept both freight-collect (your account) or prepaid shipping. Bulk Orders: Typically 45-60 days depending on complexity and seasonality. Expedited production is available upon request—please contact our team to discuss your specific timeline.

Absolutely. Once your order is dispatched, our logistics team will provide you with a tracking number and a link to the carrier's portal. For sea freight, we provide the vessel name and Bill of Lading (B/L) information so you can monitor the progress of your cargo in real-time.

If there is any problem with the products after receiving the goods, please feedback the details of the problem and the quantity of the problem to us. We will immediately find out the cause of the problem internally and arrange the replenishment to you, and the cost will be borne by us.
