How long is the lead time for packaging boxes in packaging printing

In the packaging element as a customer, in addition to the printing quality of the box, another important thing is the (packaging box) delivery cycle. We often meet customers who ask how long your company’s delivery cycle is, because some customers’ orders are relatively urgent, so they are very concerned about the delivery cycle of our packaging printing factory.

So how long is the general production cycle or delivery cycle of our packaging boxes?

Nowadays, packaging boxes are basically custom-made, 90% of our customers are custom-made, there are occasionally some small batch wholesale orders on 1688, and some customers are taking samples, and after taking samples, they are still turning to custom-made. Customised boxes are different from traditional retail boxes because of the special advantages of customisation, which can meet the needs of many customers to print their company name and logo on the boxes and bags.

Because of the customisation, the workload is still very large, some of them also need to do planning, and after planning, the boxes have to be prototyped, and the customer then acknowledges them, before the bulk production of large samples, so there is a fixed production cycle.

When customers consult us about the delivery cycle, the production cycle we report to customers under normal circumstances is 15 days, and there are shipments within a week if fast. If the customer’s order quantity is large, the delivery time will also be delayed by 7 days. In the absence of any sudden accidents, Sakurami will strictly follow the acquisition contract signed between the two sides and ship to the customer within the marked production cycle.
