Recorded credentials
- 11 recorded as customs-registered
- Registration with China Customs lets a factory export in its own name rather than through an agent. We hold this flag for part of the catalog only, so treat it as a positive signal where present rather than as a complete list.
- 189 recorded as High-Tech Enterprise
- A Chinese government status carrying tax benefits, granted on R&D spending and patents held. It indicates in-house development rather than assembly.

Buying boxes, cartons & containers from China
Written from the sourcing work we do, not from the suppliers listed above.
- How do you tell a real manufacturer from a trading company?
- Presses, die-cutting and lamination on the floor, with a colour-proofing station. Ask which press your job will run on and what its sheet size is.
- What certification is needed to import boxes, cartons & containers into the EU or US?
- Food-contact packaging follows EU 1935/2004 and FDA 21 CFR, and printing inks must be low-migration grades supported by a declaration. FSC or PEFC claims require a chain-of-custody certificate that covers your specific order.
- What order minimums and tooling costs should I expect?
- Commonly 5,000–50,000 pieces. Plate and die costs are low individually but recur with every design change.
- What goes wrong most often in this category?
- Colour drift between runs and ink migration into food. Approve a wet proof pulled from the actual press rather than a digital proof, and require low-migration ink in the contract.
