Packaging FAQs
What’s the minimum order for custom printed cans?
For custom printed 1L and 4L cans, the minimum order is 1,000 units per size. This covers the setup costs for printing plates and ensures competitive unit pricing. For larger sizes (20L+), MOQs start at 200 units.
Can I use my own packaging design?
Yes! We accept customer-provided designs in AI, PDF, or CDR format. Our design team will review for technical feasibility and regulatory compliance. We also offer in-house design services if needed.
Do you provide samples before full production?
Absolutely. We provide packaging samples with your actual product for approval before full production run. Sample lead time is 5-7 days. This ensures color accuracy, label fit, and overall quality.
What’s the shelf life of packaged lubricants?
Properly packaged lubricants have a shelf life of 5 years from production date. We use UV-stabilized materials and proper sealing to ensure product integrity. Storage conditions (cool, dry place) also affect shelf life.
Can you match Pantone colors for branding?
Yes, we can match any Pantone color for plastic containers, drum painting, and labels. Color matching is included in our customization service. We provide color proofs for approval before production.
Do you handle packaging waste and recycling?
We follow UAE environmental regulations for packaging waste. We can provide guidance on recycling programs and offer eco-friendly packaging options including recyclable plastics and biodegradable labels.
