Cardboard Packaging = Big Savings

Buy my packaging overseas???

"I buy my cardboard packaging locally because it's not cost effective for me to get it overseas". We had this quote from a customer of ours that wanted to save money on their packaging but didn't think it could be accomplished. My partners and I at Bigfoot Imports starting sourcing in China to see if we could find a quality product and competitive pricing. As it turned out, we were able to find an excellent source for our customers cardboard packaging and save them 20-30% compared to their current prices.

Our customer was so excited that they wanted us to create a customized gift box that could be used for a Christmas promotion in retail stores. We were able to take their ideas and create exactly what she was envisioning.



So at this point, you might be wondering; "What would the process be for us to get quotes and have our packaging made"?

First- Provide us with the original artwork for the packaging. Usually an Adobe AI file is the best option, but sometimes a PDF or JPEG can work as well.

Second- Decide on your quantity for production. For any company to save money on having the packaging made overseas, you would need to order at least one 40' container. If you are looking less than that, then locally is still your best bet.

Third- We will have a sample made for you and ship it to you for your approval. If everything passes your quality test, then we will begin production.

Fourth- Production usually takes 20-30 days depending on the time of year. Starting in September through Christmas is always the busiest time for most manufacturers.

Fifth- Shipping to your door

Sixth- Be very happy with the excellent quality and savings that your company has just achieved by an alternate form of manufacturing.


Don't feel intimidated if you haven't had product made overseas yet, this is your opportunity to add significant margin to your sales by adding 20-30% of savings just on your packaging.
