New to EasyPak? Here's where to start

This page is for anyone looking at EasyPak for the first time. It covers whether we can take your order, and which page to go to next so your quote comes back right the first time.

First, a quick check: is your order the right size for us?

Our minimum is 10,000 pieces per design and we make every order from scratch, so there is no stock to pick from. We ship to the UK and the EU. For a smaller run, a digital or short-run printer will cost you less, and our minimum order guide explains the maths behind that.

After you get in touch

What happens next

We talk it through

Usually a 15-minute call, sometimes a couple of emails. We check the product, the numbers, the date you need it and what you want to spend.

You get a written quote

Within 48 hours once we have your full specifications. It names the format, board and finish we'd use.

You approve a sample

You hold a physical sample in your hands. Production doesn't start until you've said yes to it.

We make and deliver

Your run is made to order and shipped to you in the UK or the EU. For EU addresses, allow at least 15 days after artwork sign-off.

FAQ

Common questions

Still not sure where to begin?

I've never ordered custom packaging. Where should I start?

Do the three-question fit check. If you pass, read the guide on box styles, then either fill in the spec builder or book a 15-minute call with us. Both routes get you a written quote.

Do I need artwork before I contact you?

No. A logo file is plenty to begin with. If you don't have that either, our designers can do the box structure and the print artwork for you.

What if I don't know the box style or the material?

Most first-time buyers don't. Pick "Recommend for me" in the spec builder, or just tell us on the call, and we'll propose a format and a board that suit the product, the volume and the budget.

What is the smallest order you take?

10,000 pieces per design. For anything smaller, a short-run or digital printer is normally cheaper.
