FAQ
Does custom packaging affect MOQ?
New dielines amortize across the order. Radiant standard MOQ is 200 units; confirm plate fees and lead time for packaging changes.
Can I print my logo on the sample box?
Yes on a branded sample — validate the full SKU before bulk.
What files should the factory send?
Dieline PDF, mockup, manual draft, insert layout, and barcode proof. Sign off before mass print.
Who pays for packaging mistakes at bulk?
Contract should state bulk follows approved golden sample and signed artwork.
