If you’re not sure about the specifications yet, that’s completely fine — our team can guide you through the options and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Our quotations are typically valid for 14 days from the date issued.
This is because material costs, exchange rates, and factory pricing can fluctuate. If your project timeline changes, we’re always happy to re-quote or review pricing for you.
Yes. We offer competitive wholesale pricing for bulk and repeat orders.
The larger the order quantity, the lower the unit cost, making bulk production ideal for brands planning ongoing or large-scale packaging needs.
Once your quote is confirmed, the process is straightforward:
- Finalise specifications and artwork
- Approve dielines and production samples (if required)
- Confirm order, contract and make payment
- Production begins
We manage the entire process from design to manufacturing and delivery.
Several factors influence the final price of your custom packaging, including:
- Box size and structure
- Material type and thickness
- Printing method and number of colours
- Finishes such as foil stamping, embossing, or lamination
- Order quantity
We’ll always guide you toward the most cost-effective solution without compromising quality.
Yes, inside printing usually incurs an additional cost, as it requires extra printing plates, setup, and production time.
That said, inside printing can be a powerful branding touch, and we’re happy to advise if it fits your budget and brand goals.
In most cases, Pantone (PMS) printing costs more than standard CMYK printing.
Pantone colours require custom ink mixing and additional setup, but they offer superior colour accuracy and consistency, especially important for premium or brand-sensitive packaging.
Unfortunately, we’re unable to begin production until the initial payment has been received.
That said, we’re happy to offer a flexible payment option: a 50% deposit to start production, with the remaining 50% payable prior to shipping.
Yes, absolutely. All our packaging solutions are fully customisable.
You can customise the size, structure, materials, finishes, printing, thickness and inserts to perfectly match your brand and product requirements. Every box is designed specifically for your needs — no templates, no limitations.
Yes. We can assist with both structural packaging design and graphic layout support.
Whether you need minor adjustments, print-ready checks, or full packaging design from scratch, our team ensures your artwork meets production and printing standards.
We recommend supplying artwork in print-ready vector formats, such as AI, PDF, or EPS.
High-resolution files ensure accurate colours, sharp details and smooth production. If you’re unsure, our team can review your files before production to avoid any issues.
A dieline is a technical template that shows the exact layout of your packaging, including cut lines, fold lines, bleed areas and safe zones.
It ensures your artwork aligns perfectly with the box structure, allowing the packaging to be cut, folded and assembled correctly during manufacturing.
Yes. We provide professional dielines tailored to your packaging structure and dimensions.
Dielines can be supplied before design, or after your design is ready, depending on your workflow.
Design changes are possible before final artwork approval and production commencement.
Once production has started, changes may not be feasible or may incur additional costs due to materials and setup already in progress. We’ll always confirm final artwork with you before moving forward.
You can request:
- Plain structural samples (no printing)
- Printed samples for full approval
Sampling is highly recommended for premium packaging or first-time orders. For most time, sampling can be produced within 3 days.
We do not offer free custom samples, as samples require setup, materials and production time.
However, we can provide paid custom samples or material and print samples to help you review quality, structure and finishes before bulk production.
Yes, expedited production may be available depending on the packaging type, order quantity and factory schedule.
Please let us know your timeline early so we can assess feasibility and advise on any additional costs.
Sample production typically takes about 3 days after artwork approval and payment confirmation. More complex structures or finishes may require additional time.
Production typically takes 14 days after final artwork and sample approval. Urgent orders can be completed within 7 days.
Timelines may vary depending on order complexity, materials, and peak seasons. We always confirm lead times before production begins.
Our packaging is designed and managed locally in Australia, and manufactured by trusted, quality-controlled factories in China.
This approach allows us to deliver high-quality packaging at competitive pricing while maintaining strict quality standards.
Please note that on-screen colors may not exactly match the printed packaging. This is due to differences between RGB (screen) and CMYK (print) color spaces, as well as variations caused by different paper materials, such as kraft paper compared to white paper.
CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black, the four ink colours used in standard full-colour printing. It is the most common printing method for packaging and allows a wide range of colours to be reproduced cost-effectively.
Offset printing is a traditional printing method that uses large-scale printing presses. The image is transferred from a metal plate onto a rubber blanket, and then onto the printing surface. The metal plate is etched with the required design or text before ink is applied.
Best suited for:
Large production runs. Offset printing is highly efficient and cost-effective for producing consistent, high-quality images and text at scale.
Digital printing is a modern printing method that uses digital technology to print designs directly onto the material. It offers greater flexibility, allowing design changes right up until printing begins. Digital printing supports full-colour output and is ideal for quick turnaround projects.
Best suited for:
Small to medium runs. It’s an excellent choice for high-quality images, text, and photographic prints with lower setup costs.
Flexographic printing is commonly used for flexible materials such as plastic films, cellophane, and certain types of paper. It uses flexible relief plates made from rubber or polymer, which are mounted on rotating cylinders to transfer ink onto the material.
Best suited for:
Printing on a wide range of materials. Flexography supports more ink types than standard digital printing and is ideal for packaging that requires durability and versatility.
Every order goes through multiple quality checks during production.
We can also provide pre-shipment inspections and photo/video updates to ensure your packaging meets specifications before dispatch.
Shipping time depends on the method selected:
- Sea freight: approx. 40-50 days
- Air freight: approx. 5-10 days
We will recommend the best option based on your timeline and budget.
Yes. We can arrange split shipments to multiple destinations if required.
Please note that additional handling and freight costs may apply depending on locations and shipment structure.
Yes. We offer Door-to-Door shipping to Australia, including customs clearance and local delivery.
This allows you to receive your packaging with no need to deal with freight forwarders or customs paperwork.
We offer several shipping options based on your timeline and budget, including:
- Sea freight
- Air freight
- Express courier
We’ll recommend the most suitable option once your order details are confirmed.
The best shipping method depends on order volume, delivery timeline and budget.
Sea freight is the most cost-effective for bulk orders, while air or express shipping is better suited for urgent or smaller shipments. Our team will guide you through the options.
Yes, expedited shipping can be arranged upon request, subject to carrier availability and additional costs. Please let us know early if you have a tight deadline so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. Bulk orders are typically packed and shipped on pallets to ensure protection, stability and efficient handling during transit.
Yes. You are welcome to use your own shipping or freight agent. We can coordinate directly with your agent to arrange factory pickup and export documentation.
Shipping is quoted separately unless otherwise specified. We provide transparent freight pricing based on your chosen shipping method, destination and order volume, so you have full visibility of total costs.
Yes. Sustainability is a key focus of our packaging solutions.
We offer:
- FSC-certified paper
- Recyclable and biodegradable materials
- Soy-based and eco-friendly inks
We’re happy to recommend environmentally responsible options that align with your brand values.
Yes. We can supply FSC®-certified paper and board materials upon request. FSC certification ensures the materials are sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental and social standards.
Our packaging can be produced using recyclable, responsibly sourced materials and eco-conscious production methods.
Sustainability options depend on material choice, printing method and finishes, and we’re happy to advise on solutions that align with your environmental goals.
Kraft paper has a natural brown base, which means printed colours will appear more muted and earthy compared to white stock.
Light colours may appear softer, while dark colours generally print better. We recommend test samples if colour accuracy is critical.
Finished boxes should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Proper storage helps prevent warping, colour changes and damage prior to use.
If you experience any issues with your order, please contact your dedicated account manager as soon as possible. Providing photos, order details and a brief description of the issue will help us investigate and resolve it quickly.
Should any defects or quality issues arise, we take full responsibility and will work closely with you to provide an appropriate solution, including replacement, refund, or credit where applicable.
Please notify Sourcia of any defects within 10 business days of receiving your order. Claims submitted after this period will be considered as acceptance of the products.
If damage occurs during transit, please notify us immediately upon receipt and document the damage with photos.
We will assist in liaising with the freight provider and advise on the next steps, including claims or replacement options where applicable.
