FAQ

WHAT IS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL FOR ME?

There is no one way to answer that question, as every situation is unique. We follow the triple bottom line principle: do good for people, good for the planet, and good for business. Read more about our sustainability strategy here.

WHERE WILL MY PRODUCTS BE MADE?

Most of our manufacturers are located in China and Vietnam, within a few hours of our offices. Our fastest growing regions for new suppliers are Vietnam, Turkey, India, Thailand, Indonesia, and Mexico. Due to rising labor costs, ongoing US tariffs, volatile shipping prices, and geopolitical sensitivities, more and more of our top Chinese manufacturers are also expanding operations into these countries.

WHAT IS YOUR MOQ?

While it depends on the product, our typical minimum order quantity is one full 20′ shipping container, about 28 cubic meters. Contact us for a custom quote for your specific product.

WHAT IS YOUR ORDER PROCESS LIKE?

While every client’s needs are unique, the general process follows these steps:

Project Discovery & Consultation
Quotations & Sample Runs
Mass Production & Shipping
Delivery & Market Feedback

WHAT'S IT LIKE LIVING IN SHANGHAI?

The best way to answer this, is to come see for yourself! Though historically challenging for foreigners to visit, Shanghai is consistently rated as one of the top cities to live in Asia. Crowds, traffic, and pollution are balanced by superb public transportation networks, a world class food & beverage scene, over 7000 cafes, lightning fast logistics for just about anything, and a central location just a few hours flight from most of the world’s population.

Our ‘catalog’ is a database of over 200 factories all around the world. If your packaging product exists, we have someone who can make it. And if it doesn’t exist, we will custom make it with you! Contact us to learn more about our extensive product and service offering.
