Frequently asked questions

Which product details matter?

Specify the produce variety, piece size, weight per tray and whether items are loose or individually packed. Describe expected moisture, refrigeration and stacking.

How should I specify dimensions?

Provide internal length, width and height, allowing for wrappers, bases and accessories. Specify if you supply external dimensions or measurements from an existing box.

How are these trays assembled?

Follow the folds and interlock the tabs, without assembly adhesive. Check the chosen design’s assembly sequence before preparing deliveries.

Can they hold loose and packaged produce?

Both arrangements can be assessed. Piece or pack size, weight per tray and required separation determine usable space.

What should I check when stacking trays?

State weight per tray, number of levels and storage duration. Stacking must be assessed for the chosen design and cardboard.

Is there a minimum quantity and a fixed price?

We manufacture custom boxes for businesses, with minimum orders depending on size, format and project specifications. Special pricing is available for large quantities; request a proposal based on your business requirements and order volume.

When is the lead time confirmed?

The usual lead time is 2 to 3 days after the project is approved.

How to choose your packaging

Self-assembly corrugated cardboard trays for grouping fruit and vegetables during distribution. Folds and interlocking tabs form the tray without assembly adhesive.

Specify the produce variety, piece size, weight per tray and whether items are loose or individually packed. Describe expected moisture, refrigeration and stacking.

Product, dimensions and handling

  • Dimensions: distinguish usable internal space from external dimensions.
  • Contents: include bases, wrappers and dividers when calculating space.
  • Handling: describe transport, stacking and storage conditions.

State whether produce will touch the cardboard directly and whether moisture or refrigeration is expected, so material and design can be confirmed.

Customisation and printing

Ask about dimension and flexographic printing options. Send your logo or artwork and identify the panels you want printed. Text and graphic placement are agreed for the selected format.

Information needed for a quote

Provide quantity, required internal dimensions, contents and packed weight per box. Include printing artwork, destination and preferred date. If you already use packaging, share its dimensions and explain what you need to improve.
