Artwork before production
Do not quote printing as final while dieline, copy or barcode remains open.
PROCUREMENT GUIDE
Custom Tissue Packaging Guide
Custom tissue packaging begins with the product dimensions and pack structure, then moves through dieline, artwork, colors, barcode, destination labels, print proof, physical sample and mass-production approval. Artwork should not be treated as finished until the product, pack material, opening, sealing, carton and compliance copy are aligned.

DIRECT ANSWERS
Questions buyers ask before moving forward.
01Should I compare only the unit price?+
No. A useful comparison aligns the physical product, retail and export packaging, MOQ, delivery basis, destination and included services.
02What if a field is not yet decided?+
Mark it as to be confirmed and ask suppliers to state the assumption used in their quotation rather than silently filling the gap.
03Can VELUPLY review an existing specification?+
Yes. Share the specification, pack reference, target market and quantity so open fields can be identified before a quotation is prepared.
