Helpful Pinlord resources
Packaging box design tips
  • Plan the dieline carefully: Mark front, back, side panels, lid, base, folds, glue areas and any inside-print areas clearly.
  • Keep key artwork away from folds: Avoid placing important text, logos or QR codes too close to creases, edges or closure tabs.
  • Design the unboxing moment: Use inside panels, insert cards, ribbons, stickers or tissue paper to make the box feel more memorable.
  • Choose material by use case: Rigid boxes suit premium gifts, corrugated boxes suit shipping, and folding cartons suit retail packaging.
  • Think about protection: If the product is fragile, include insert, divider, foam, sleeve or internal fit notes in your template.

3. How do tariffs, duties, and taxes affect costs?

We help make global ordering easier with DDP shipping where available.

  • Import taxes, duties, and tariffs can be prepaid
  • Fewer surprise customs bills
  • Less paperwork for you
  • Your order is delivered more smoothly to your door

DDP fees are usually added upfront so your total landed cost is clearer before production begins.

4. Do you accept 50% deposits?

Yes. Most custom orders can be started with a 50% deposit.

  • 50% deposit to begin production
  • 50% balance after photo proof and before shipping

This gives you more confidence before the final payment is made.

5. What is the minimum order quantity?

Many products have no MOQ or low minimum order options.

  • Many small goods can be made with no MOQ
  • Some products start from 1–25 units
  • Apparel, packaging, and stationery often support smaller runs

Tip: larger orders usually reduce the cost per unit.

6. Can I see a sample before ordering?

Yes. You can request a sample of your design before moving into a larger production order.

Upload your artwork and select a small quantity, such as 1 unit, and our team can prepare a sample quote.

7. What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

Email us at hi@pinlord.com with your order details and clear photos of the issue.

We’ll review the concern and provide a tailored solution based on the product, order, and issue.

8. What file formats work best?
