Hi,

I'm looking to import around 500 presentation boxes (for men's accessories) from China. I've been inundated with quotes via Alibaba, and I've spent hours reading through all the potential pitfalls and warnings surrounding importing from China.

What I am looking for is a recommendation from someone in the UK that has ordered from a specific company in China.

Would love to hear your experiences and would welcome any recommendations!

Thank you in advance.

Sam

    Hi Sam

    There are many packaging companies who make a wide range of products, it is probably best to specify the type of box/size/material or specific the accessory you need the packaging for.

    If you have found a product that ticks all you boxes, request a sample first as well as requesting details of UK customers that they have supplied that you can contact for references.

    Best of luck.

    Hi Sam,

    An extremely good packaging company is Asiapack - they're French owned/operated and have their own packaging/kitting facility in Shenzhen free trade zone in China. They do kitting for various international brands and can do virtually any finish/style you need, though they aren't the cheapest, they are competitive for the assured quality level.

    I've used them on a number of occasions in my past role working for an Australian retailer, and they can also package your products in the box etc (the full solution is not much more expensive).

    Hope that helps,

    Will

    Thanks for the responses Will and Ron. I'm after a 260mm(L) x 110mm(W) x 20mm(D) presentation box, it's universal enough that I can package all items in the same box when delivering.

    Lots of companies say they can help, but getting a solid UK based reference is proving tricky.

    I will check out Asiapack, thank you.

    If anyone else has experience with a specific packaging company in China then please do let me me know.

    Thank you,

    Sam

    hi sam,
    i think most chinese factory are not willing to do custom orders with only 500pcs.
    the price will be very high. cause they need to charge you for printing fee, at least 150usd, if only one-two simple color, will cost less.

    if your presentation box do not need printing, it is possible to find some one make for you with a reasonable price. just tell the factory, this is a sample order.

    There're lots of good packaging factories in Dongguan and Shenzhen area. The place matters a lot, as factors are located in a remote area (I know it's hard for a foreigner to know the exact location of city name of China), most possibly, they are good at making cheap but low quality products, as they are for local or less developed market.

    So, notice the factory location when you do Alibaba searching.
