Written brief, not a walk-in desk

Paperboard Carton Sourcing

Send specifications, quantity and destination. Paperboard Carton Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner; factory identity, listings and shipment terms belong to named supplier replies. Site contacts are empty, so this page does not publish a street address, telephone number, social handle or warehouse pin.

What comparable quotes need

Format: Named construction: SBS, CCNB or CRB, paperboard caliper in pt, and style (straight-tuck, reverse-tuck, crash-lock, auto-bottom or window-patch). A tuck-end 18 pt SBS carton is not the same quote as an auto-bottom CCNB sleeve even when both sit under Folding Cartons. Write whether the blank uses an existing die or a new cutting tool. Window film, liner and export pack-out stay on their own lines so a piece figure cannot hide die or carton-cell cost.
Artwork: Blank, flexographic printing, offset or gravure, plus color count and die-line revision. Unsigned drawings can be described by revision in the requirement box. This form has no upload field. Plate, die and artwork-change costs stay outside the piece price unless you ask every factory to bundle the same extras. A digital mock for frequent SKU changes and a struck carton for a locked color count are different sample routes.
Quantity: Pieces, cartons or pallets, never mixed units on one factory line. Sample cartons, if needed, should say who pays freight and whether the sample must match the production board and caliper. Optional target budget may be an amount or a range, with currency and whether the figure is per unit or for the whole order. No existing quotation is required to send the form.
Destination: US state or ZIP and the requested delivery window. Freight, duties and document courier fees stay outside the carton price unless you ask every factory to include the same Incoterm. High-end, mid-range, budget or undecided describes surface, customization and paperwork appetite. It is not a verified rating of any plant.

How follow-up is scheduled

After you submit, we restate the same specification, quantity unit and destination before asking factories for wholesale quotes. We do not publish a reply clock, a discount percentage or a certified-factory roster. Food-contact and migration testing files apply only when a named board and intended fill require them. Those documents attach to a construction and shipment, not to this website as a badge.

ISO ICS 55.020, observed 2026-09-20, supplies unit vocabulary such as pieces and millimetres only. Packhelp quote and wholesale pages observed 2026-09-15 show a brief-first path; they are not this desk's factory list or lead-time promise. Uncoated recyclable board versus a PE or barrier coat is a buyer trade-off on recycle claims versus product protection, not a default this desk certifies. If a plant quotes 16 pt CCNB as interchangeable with 18 pt SBS, treat that as a new construction and request a retained sample before the volume release.

Working hours are not advertised as a service-level promise. After a live endpoint exists, the same fields post to /service/feedback.act. Until that endpoint is connected, treat the send action as a draft until receipt is confirmed on a later production check. Continue from material specs when construction fields are still open.

Procurement requirement

Fields stack in one column. Name, work email and the procurement requirement are required. Optional budget and supplier preference merge into the same requirement field at submit time when JavaScript is available; otherwise write them in the box. Follow-up uses the work email you enter. Written requests are reviewed as written inquiries. No guaranteed reply interval is published.

Useful lines: style, paperboard caliper, print process, sample-carton need, quantity unit, destination ZIP, and which documents (food-contact, migration testing) the named factory should attach. If JavaScript is on, helpers are appended only at submit time and are cleared afterward so a back-button resubmit does not keep an old summary. Several forms on one visit do not share helper values.
