Ordering packaging from a manufacturer in Poland

Before your first order from Poland

We are a direct European manufacturer of printed packaging, based in Wrocław, Poland. We have been printing for businesses since 2000, for customers in Poland and across Europe.

Brands from other EU countries ask us the same things before a first order: who pays for the cutting die, whether they see a sample, how long it takes, how the boxes reach them and how the invoice handles VAT. This guide answers those questions in the order an order actually runs.

Poland is in the EU, so the goods move inside the single market: no customs clearance between us and a customer in another EU country.

How an order runs

You send an enquiry: product, size, quantity, delivery country. Artwork can be a print-ready file, a draft or a photo.
We reply with a quote: the price includes shipping and says whether a new cutting die is needed.
You pay by bank transfer against an invoice with a payment term or in advance on a pro forma invoice.
You approve the artwork proof and the sample box.
Production: printing, finishing, die-cutting and gluing.
Delivery by courier or freight forwarder, in parcels or on pallets.

The cutting die

A folding box is cut and creased with a cutting die made for its size and construction. We keep a library of dies. If one fits your box, you pay nothing for a new die; we check this while preparing the quote.

A size or construction we have no die for needs a new one, and the quote shows it. Several designs of the same box share one die; see how to order the same box in several designs.

Sample before the run

Before the production run we make a sample box, printed digitally, so you can check the print, the construction and how your product sits in it. The run itself is printed in offset. If you want samples of more than one design, or sent to a second address, say so in the enquiry and the quote covers it.

Quantity, price and lead time

Quantities and lead times are agreed in the quote. Tell us roughly how many you need and the date the packaging should be at your warehouse, and we will price a few options; the unit price falls as the quantity grows.

Comparing suppliers on price? Ask for a second option in the same quote, for example a lighter board or no lamination, and you see what each choice costs.

Artwork and proof

Send a print-ready PDF in CMYK, with 2 mm bleed, fonts and logos in curves and transparency flattened. Only drafts so far? We can prepare the artwork, and you approve a proof before anything is printed.

Delivery inside the EU

We deliver to businesses across Europe by courier or freight forwarder, in parcels or on pallets. Shipping is part of the price we quote, so the figure you compare is the price delivered to you.

If parts of the order go to different addresses, list them in the enquiry. On request we store printed packaging and send it in batches when you call it off, which suits brands that reorder through the year.

Invoice, payment and VAT

We sell to businesses only. Payment is by bank transfer, usually in EUR, against an invoice with a payment term or in advance against a pro forma invoice; we do not take card payments. Companies with a valid EU VAT number in another EU country can be invoiced without Polish VAT (intra-Community supply), so put your VAT number in the enquiry.

Box, label and leaflet for the same product can be printed together and go on one invoice.

Repeat orders

For a reorder of the same boxes, quote your previous order and tell us which designs you need and how many. Changes to the artwork go through a new proof.

We answer in English. FSC-certified paper and board available on request.

Ordering packaging from Poland: questions buyers ask

Do I pay for a cutting die?

Only if none of the dies in our library fits your box. If one fits, there is no cost of a new die. The quote says which case applies.

Can I see a sample before the production run?

Yes. We make a sample box, printed digitally, before the run, which is printed in offset.

How long does an order take?

Lead times are agreed in the quote. Give us the date you need the packaging, so the quote takes it into account.

Do you deliver to my country?

We deliver to businesses across Europe by courier or freight forwarder, in parcels or on pallets. Shipping is part of the price we quote.

Will the invoice include Polish VAT?

A company with a valid EU VAT number in another EU country can be invoiced without Polish VAT (intra-Community supply). We sell to businesses only, paid by bank transfer, usually in EUR.

Is there a cheaper option?

Ask for one in the enquiry, for example a lighter board or no lamination. We price it next to your first choice.

Can you hold stock for repeat orders?

On request we store printed packaging and deliver it in batches when you call it off.
