Chocolate Packaging from China

[sweetmemories]

Are there any eGullet members who have ordered chocolate boxes from Chinese packaging companies? I have used boxes from Chocolat Chocolat in the past, but need customized boxes now in much larger quantities in order to take my business to the next level. I'm looking for Chinese companies who make sturdy customized boxes and offer debossing or embossing. Quality is of course key but communication and responsiveness are important too. I'm interested in purchasing 1000 to 2000 pieces at a time. Unfortunately, there seems to be no American company that can do what I need for a reasonable price. The companies I contacted either tell me they cannot do what I need, or their prices are way too high to make it work for my business. I also know that many providers of chocolate boxes here in the US get their boxes from China, so ordering directly from China makes a lot of sense to me. 

This being said, I checked out quite a few companies featured on the Chinese site Alibaba.com. There are so many companies that it is really hard to know which companies offer great quality and service. All seem to offer samples, which is good.

 

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

I've been using them for a few years now.  Quality is good as long as your quantities are over 1-2000 pcs.  Shipping can take some time if your  stuff is held up at customs, but if not, 4-6 weeeks.

 

We've got about 8 or 9 box mnfctrs here in Vancoouver, but they are all waaaaay too expensive r want quantitites of 10,000 per item.  Oh, and thier mysterious "die set up fees"....
