Folding Carton Food Packaging Sourcing inquiry brief
Use this page to write one folding carton line that factories can price the same way. Folding Carton Food Packaging Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. Brand records list no street, switchboard or social account, so this page does not invent a walk-in converting floor, a mapped pin or a published discount percentage.

Named construction
Name the carton style before you name a directory nickname. Straight tuck, reverse tuck, auto-lock bottom and a window-patch sleeve are different converting paths. Record inside length x width x height in mm, and say those dimensions are inside, not a blank size. Board grade belongs on the same line: SBS, CCNB or kraft board, plus the print-facing ply. Paperboard caliper stays in pt or mil, for example 18 pt or 24 pt. Leave the cell blank rather than guess. Offset, flexographic printing and digital proofs are not interchangeable plate families. Foil, emboss and window-patch tooling sit outside the piece cell.
-
Quantity and unit
State pieces or cartons by artwork. A 5,000-piece dry-food tuck and a 20,000-piece frozen-sleeve reverse tuck still need two quantity rows if board, caliper or color count differ. Plate, die, foil and sample freight stay outside the piece price unless a factory writes them on the same reply. If two SKUs share a die line but differ in window film or UV finish, keep them on separate rows so a later destination freight split can still attach to the right carton.
-
Destination
Give the receiving US state or postal code and a requested delivery date. Say whether cartons ship flat or erected, and whether a corrugated shipper is already specified elsewhere. If the fill is food, ask the named lot for a food-contact or ink-migration file; those files belong to the board and ink, not to this desk. ISO ICS 55.020 supplies packaging vocabulary so piece and carton stay distinct. It is not a site certificate. No same-spec quote pair is on file, so this page does not print a savings percentage.
Optional target budget may list an amount or range, a currency, and a per-piece or whole-order basis. High-end, mid-range, budget or undecided is a buying filter for color control and document depth, not a factory grade this desk has audited. No existing quotation is required. After you submit, follow-up uses the work email on this record. No reply-hour guarantee is claimed. Artwork files can be named by revision in the requirement box; this form has no upload control. Packhelp quote pages observed 2026-09-15 show a brief-first path; that is a process reference, not this site's factory list. Ahrefs US matching-term labels dated 2026-09-20 inform page intent only.
No published street, phone or discount percentage. The compact dialog on other pages is only a short copy of the same fields. Continue from Spec Review when construction fields are still open, or return to inquiry options before you write the line.
Send the procurement requirement
Desktop fields sit in two columns: name with work email, then company with phone. Country-level destination and the procurement requirement stay full width. Name, work email and the requirement field are the names the endpoint already accepts. Auxiliary product, budget and preference controls, when visible, merge into that same requirement field at submit. They are not extra backend names. Repeating submit or using the browser back button should not keep an old helper summary in the visible requirement text. If JavaScript is disabled, write budget and preference into the textarea.
