Frequently asked questions

How are corrugated boxes priced in Pakistan?

Box makers often price by weight (rupees per kg of board) plus printing, or quote per piece for a given size and quantity.

How can I lower packaging cost?

Use a box that fits closely, choose the lightest board that passes your stacking needs, and order bigger runs to spread set-up costs.
