TURNAROUND TIMES & DEADLINES

All boxes are made to order with a 2 - 3 month turnaround. To keep packaging costs competitive amid fluctuating tariffs, we're shifting small-volume production to domestic manufacturers. While this brings benefits of shorter shipping turnarounds and U.S. food safety & sustainability certifications, it comes with higher production minimums.
As a result, orders under 5,000 units will need to be grouped together for monthly production runs. This approach helps us reduce overall costs for small-volume orders.
SMALL-VOLUME ORDERS
500-unit minimum for non-custom boxes from The Collection
1250-unit minimum to customize
Standard box sizes only - 14x10 and 10x10
