FAQ
At Ente Packaging, we understand that every product has unique packaging requirements. Our custom service goes beyond standard offerings, providing end-to-end support from concept to delivery. Whether you need a small batch of prototype samples or a high-volume production run, our team adapts to your timeline, budget, and quality expectations.
Q: What is your MOQ for custom packaging?
Our minimum order quantity (MOQ) varies by product type and complexity. For standard stand-up pouches and flat bags, MOQ starts at 5,000 pieces. More complex shapes or custom tooling may require higher quantities-typically 10,000+ pieces. We recommend discussing your specific requirements with our team to find the most cost-effective solution for your volume needs.
Q: What printing methods do you support?
We offer two primary printing methods: Gravure printing and Digital printing. Gravure printing utilizes etched cylinders for up to 10 colors, delivering exceptional print quality and cost-effectiveness for large runs of 10,000+ units. Digital Printing offers flexibility with no color limitations, ideal for smaller quantities, customizations, and rapid prototyping. Both methods achieve vibrant, high-resolution results suitable for food-grade applications.
Q: What materials are available for food packaging?
We provide an extensive range of food-safe materials including: PE (polyethylene) for basic applications, PP (polypropylene) for higher temperature resistance, PET (polyester) for clarity and durability, metallized films for premium barrier properties, aluminum foil for maximum oxygen and light protection, and specialty recyclable and biodegradable options. Our team can recommend optimal material structures based on your product specific preservation requirements.
Q: Can you provide samples before production?
Yes, we strongly recommend samples before mass production. We offer prototype sampling services typically taking 7-10 days. Samples allow you to evaluate material quality, print accuracy, functional features, and overall appearance. For complex custom orders, we provide pre-production samples for your approval before commencing full production runs, ensuring complete satisfaction with the final product.
Q: What certifications do you have?
Ente Packaging maintains comprehensive certifications including: ISO 9001:2015 for quality management systems, BRC (British Retail Consortium) certification for food safety, FDA registration for food-contact materials, EU regulation compliance for European markets, and SEDEX certification for ethical supply chain practices. We also hold FSSC 22000 food safety certification and can provide relevant documentation for customs clearance and compliance requirements.
Q: How long is the production lead time?
Production lead times depend on order complexity and quantity. For standard orders with MOQ (5,000-10,000 pieces), typical lead time is 15-20 days from sample approval. Orders requiring custom tooling or complex specifications may take 20-30 days. Express production is available for urgent requirements with additional fees. We provide detailed production schedules during the quotation phase and keep you informed throughout manufacturing.
