YANKING Help Center for Custom Boxes, Paper Bags, Samples and Bulk Orders

Use this guide to prepare artwork, confirm samples, review production steps, understand QCcheckpoints and choose the right customization details before placing a custom packaging order.

Complete Sampling Process

This process is suitable for new customers, new packaging styles and revised packaging projects before bulk production files are locked.

1

Requirement Review

Share the packaging size, style, material, finishing method, logo file in AI, CDR or PDF vector format, and the intended use. YANKING then prepares a custom solution and quotation.

2

Artwork and Layout Confirmation

The design team prepares the dieline, flat artwork preview and finishing position reference. The customer checks text, graphics, dimensions and process placement before sampling.

3

Machine Sampling

A physical sample is made according to the confirmed file so the material, printing effect, structure and finishing details can be reviewed before mass production.

4

Sample QC

QC checks the sample size, color difference, finishing position and structure. Samples are sent after the key appearance and structure details are reviewed.

5

Sample Approval

After the customer confirms the sample, the production file is locked for bulk production. If adjustments are needed, small revisions can be made before a second sample is arranged.

Main Packaging Lines

Rigid gift boxes, magnetic boxes, lid and base boxes, folding cartons, mailer boxes, paper bags, hang tags and stickers. Custom foil stamping, UV, embossing, specialty paper and shaped die cutting are available by project.

Mass Production Process
