Can Huasheng Packaging provide samples?
Yes. Existing production samples can be provided for material and workmanship reference. Custom printed samples, structure samples or pre-production samples should be confirmed by project according to artwork, size, material and printing colors. Sample method, timing and cost are confirmed before order placement.
What is the lead time for custom packaging orders?
Typical lead time is 15-25 working days after artwork confirmation and deposit receipt. Exact lead time depends on material structure, order quantity, printing complexity and current production schedule.
What material structure should I choose?
Material structure depends on product type (dry, oily, frozen, liquid, high-temperature), shelf life requirements and packaging machine type. Common options include PET/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, BOPP/CPP, NY/PE and kraft paper laminates. We can recommend suitable structures based on your product details.
What is the difference between roll film and premade pouch?
Roll film is printed laminated film supplied on rolls for automatic packing machines (VFFS/HFFS), where filling, forming and sealing happen on one machine. Premade pouches are pre-formed bags delivered ready for filling on separate equipment. The choice depends on your production line and product format.
Can roll film be used on automatic packing machines?
Yes. Printed roll film is designed for automatic packing machines. Roll width, roll direction, eye mark position, sealing layer and film tension should be confirmed based on your machine details before production.
What information is needed for a custom packaging quotation?
Please provide product type, bag size or roll film width, filling weight, material structure if known, thickness, printing colors, quantity, artwork file, packing machine type if applicable, shelf life requirement and storage condition. The more details you provide, the more accurate the quotation will be.
What payment terms are available?
For first orders, common payment terms are 50% deposit before production and 50% balance before shipment. For repeat orders or stable cooperation, 30% deposit and 70% balance before shipment can be discussed. L/C can be discussed for large and stable orders.
Do you support food-grade packaging?
Yes. Huasheng Packaging is ISO22000 certified. We support food-grade material selection, packaging structure review and production quality control. Material structure should be confirmed based on your product type, shelf life and destination market requirements.
How should artwork files be prepared?
We accept AI, PDF, PSD and CDR files. Please use CMYK color mode with at least 300 dpi resolution. Include 3 mm bleed if your design extends to the edge. Please provide print-ready artwork where possible; if the file is not complete, we can check technical print requirements before production.
Can you print my logo and custom artwork on the packaging?
Yes. We support up to 9-color rotogravure printing for custom logos and designs. Our pre-press team will check the file and confirm print feasibility before production.
Can you help me choose the right material structure for my product?
Yes. Based on your product type, shelf life requirements and packaging machine type, we recommend suitable material combinations such as PET/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, BOPP/CPP, NY/PE or kraft paper structures. Let us know your product details and we will advise.
Do you work with overseas buyers?
Yes. We support overseas food, beverage, daily chemical and industrial buyers with packaging quotation, material structure review, artwork checking and production communication.
How do you control product quality during production?
Our quality control covers every stage: pre-production artwork review, in-production checks on printing color consistency and lamination quality, and post-production inspection including seal strength testing, leakage testing and visual appearance checks.
Will my packaging design and artwork be kept confidential?
We treat every client's design files and packaging details as confidential. Your artwork and product information will not be shared with or reused for any other client. We can sign an NDA upon request.
