Can the carton text be in my market’s language? Copy link

Yes. Send the approved wording with the artwork. It is printed with the marks and checked on the sample. See export packing.

Is FBA prep different from wholesale packing? Copy link

Yes. FBA usually needs the selling-unit barcode and a carton plan Amazon will receive. Wholesale may use your warehouse marks instead. Name the channel with the sample. See export packing.

Can you mix SKUs in one master carton? Copy link

Yes, when you ask for a mixed carton and the pieces fit. The packing list then shows each SKU. Confirm the mix before FQC. See export packing.

Where do the goods leave from? Copy link

From the factory in Longgang, Shenzhen, Guangdong, under the trade term on the quote. See export packing.

Can you pack a retail display shipper? Copy link

Yes, when the brief includes the display. It is sampled with the product so the shelf unit and the freight carton are both signed. See export packing.

What pack details do you check on the sample? Copy link

How the piece sits in the carton, the marks, the barcode, and any insert. Photos of that pack go with the sample notes. See export packing.

Is packing inside the quoted lead time? Copy link

Yes. The 30–45 and 45–60 day windows include packing and the logistics named on the quote. See OEM and ODM.

Can I supply my own barcode file? Copy link

Yes. Send it with the print files. Petaful applies it and checks that it scans on the sample. See export packing.

Do you pack in blister trays or gift boxes? Copy link

Export packing here is corrugated: flat, nested, or a master carton, with marks, barcodes, and retail inserts. If the program needs a different retail pack, describe it in the brief and it is quoted with the sample. See export packing.

How do I find out if freight can be saved? Copy link

Ask for a flat and a nested packing plan with the sample. The comparison uses your SKU and your lane, so the saving is a number you can give your forwarder. See contact.
