What content does LeXiang Knowledge Base share?

LeXiang Knowledge Base covers packaging box encyclopedia, small-batch packaging, digital printing, label customization, and industry packaging knowledge to help brands understand packaging selection and customization processes.

What is small-batch packaging?

Small-batch packaging refers to packaging production with a low minimum order quantity (typically starting from 50 units), leveraging digital printing technology to enable rapid prototyping and personalized customization.

What are the differences between digital printing and traditional printing?

Digital printing does not require plate making, making it suitable for small-batch and multi-SKU production; traditional printing is better suited for large-scale production, offering lower unit costs but requiring higher minimum order quantities.

What is the typical minimum order quantity for packaging boxes?

LeXiang supports a minimum order quantity of 50 units, ideal for new product trials, holiday limited editions, and multi-SKU small-batch requirements.

How to choose suitable packaging materials?

Select materials based on product characteristics: food products recommend food-grade white cardboard, cosmetics recommend art paper with gold foil stamping, and industrial products recommend corrugated or kraft paper.
