How We Work with You

At QinPrinting we pride ourselves on our first-class customer support. It's one of the core factors which set us apart and has built and sustained our global reputation for over 25 years. When you make the smart decision to work with us on the structural design and engineering of your custom packaging solutions, these are the four stages of the process:

You'll be assigned a dedicated, named consultant who will be you be your first point of contact and guide you through the entire process from start to finish. The first step is to discuss your needs, evaluate your project, and create a personalized proposal and quotation for fulfilment.

Once everything else is agreed, your consultant will help you choose the best materials for your design and generate a custom-made die line template for your packaging product, onto which you can add your artwork. We offer a range of resources to help you with the artwork and our experts are always available to help and advise you every step of the way. Once your artwork is complete, we'll check your design files and go ahead to engineer samples of your product for your approval.

In consultation with you, we will provide structural and design prototypes and samples so you can examine the 3-D structural design, artwork, print, and color. Once you approve these prototypes, we'll move into the production phase.

Finally, we'll go into mass production, which involves rigorous quality controls at every stage. Once your products are ready, checked, and approved, we'll package them securely and ship them to their destination.

But it doesn't stop there. Once you receive your products, we'll get in touch to make sure that everything has arrived safely and that you are 100% happy with the results. Your success is our success, and we want you to be completely satisfied.

We actively encourage reuse and recycling of all our products. We can use recycled or FSC-certified materials on request. FSC-certified means materials from responsibly managed, sustainable forests. By default, we use biodegradable soy-based ink.
