Does this tool calculate custom packaging prices?

No. Custom production pricing depends on the approved structure, dimensions, material, print, finishes, quantity, and delivery destination. The tool prepares a planning specification and MOQ only.

How is the tuck box or mailer box MOQ calculated?

When every finished dimension is 5 inches or less, the planning MOQ is 1,000 units. When the largest dimension is over 5 inches and no more than 10 inches, it is 500 units. When the largest dimension is over 10 inches, it is 250 units.

Can I enter dimensions in centimeters or millimeters?

Yes. Choose inches, centimeters, or millimeters. The tool converts the dimensions before applying the approved size-based MOQ boundaries.

What is the MOQ for magnetic boxes and Mylar bags?

The planning MOQ is 250 units for magnetic boxes and collapsible magnetic boxes, and 500 units for Mylar bags.

Does the mailer option include standard shipping cartons?

No. UPG supplies corrugated ear-lock mailer boxes for branded presentation, PR kits, subscriptions, and ecommerce packaging. Regular slotted shipping cartons, master cartons, and RSC cases are outside the product range.

Can I share or download the packaging specification?

Yes. The builder can copy a shareable plan link, download a plain-text specification, or open a print-ready version that can be saved as a PDF. The shared link contains the current planning fields, so anyone with the link can read them. Do not include confidential information.
