How do I get a custom packaging quote?

Custom Packaging & Quotes

Share the product type or a reference photo, size, quantity per size/design, delivery postal or ZIP code, and required arrival date. Upload your logo if available. Our team will review suitable options and prepare a quote with a complimentary 3D visual. Final pricing, specifications and timing are confirmed in your written quotation.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom packaging?

Custom Packaging & Quotes

MOQ varies by product, size, material and printing method. It usually applies per size and design, rather than across the whole order. Share your requirements so we can confirm the current MOQ and volume price options. If your volume is lower, ask about stock packaging or another branding method.

Can I combine sizes or designs in one order?

Custom Packaging & Quotes

We can review mixed-size or mixed-design orders. Each size/design may have its own MOQ, tooling and print charges; combining them does not automatically meet the factory minimum. We can also review consolidated shipping where compatible products and production schedules allow it.

What is included in my quote?

Custom Packaging & Quotes

Your written quote should identify the product specification, quantity, unit price, artwork or tooling charges, delivery scope, currency, payment schedule and any excluded taxes, duties or other costs. Ask us to clarify any line before confirming. Future pricing is fixed only for the period and conditions stated in your agreement.

Can you source a size or product I cannot find online?

Custom Packaging & Quotes

Send a reference image or link, dimensions, intended food or drink, estimated quantity and delivery deadline. We will check sourcing or custom-production options and confirm feasibility, MOQ, sample requirements and timing before you commit.

Do you provide a free 3D mockup?

Design, Samples & Quality

We offer a complimentary 3D packaging visual to help you review your branding. A digital mockup is not a physical sample or a guarantee of exact print colour. We will confirm the scope of artwork support and quote any additional design, tooling or physical-sample work before proceeding.

What artwork files should I send?

Design, Samples & Quality

Send a vector logo such as AI, EPS or a print-ready PDF where available. A high-resolution PNG or JPG can help us prepare an initial visual, but production artwork must meet the selected factory’s requirements. Ask for the correct dieline after the product and dimensions are confirmed.

Can you print full colour, match Pantone colours or add a QR code?

Design, Samples & Quality

Printing options depend on the material and production method. Tell us your colours, coverage and any QR-code or finish requirements. We will confirm feasibility, charges and proof requirements. Screen colours and kraft/white materials can produce different results; agree the colour reference and acceptable variation before production, and test QR readability at its printed size.

Is my logo printed directly, or applied as a label?

Design, Samples & Quality

Both direct printing and labels may be possible, depending on the product and order volume. We will identify the method in your quote and artwork approval. For glass or demanding uses, discuss temperature, moisture, washing and filling conditions before choosing an option.

Can I request physical samples before a bulk order?

Design, Samples & Quality

Ask about available plain samples for checking size, feel and product performance. Shipping may be chargeable. Custom-printed or custom-size samples can require tooling, sample fees and extra time. We will confirm costs and whether any sample fee can be credited against a bulk order in writing.

How does the custom order process work?

Design, Samples & Quality

We confirm your requirements and quotation, coordinate the manufacturer’s design and dieline, obtain your final approval, then proceed to production, quality checks, logistics, customs clearance where applicable and delivery. Changes after approval can affect cost and timing. Your order documents define the milestones and approval responsibilities.

How do you check quality and consistency?

Design, Samples & Quality

We agree the key specifications and approval reference before production and coordinate quality checks for the order. Ask which checks and production photos or videos apply to your product. Bulk production can have agreed tolerances; an approved mockup or sample does not mean every item will be visually identical.

Can you add embossing, foil or other premium finishes?

Design, Samples & Quality

Special finishes may be available for selected products. Send a reference and tell us the material, size, quantity and intended food contact. We will confirm technical suitability, tooling, MOQ, proof requirements and price before you approve the order.

How do I choose the right packaging for my business?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Tell us what you serve, portion size, food temperature, time before consumption and whether orders are collected, delivered or frozen. We can review packaging combinations for cafés, bakeries, ice cream brands and foodservice operators, then suggest suitable sizes and samples for testing.

Do cups and bowls include lids?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Some products are sold as sets; others have lids sold separately. Check the exact product listing and compatible lid SKU before ordering. Capacity alone does not establish fit: two 12 oz cups can use different rim diameters. Ask us to confirm the cup-and-lid pairing if unsure.

Can I use this container for hot food, freezing, microwaving or baking?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Suitability depends on the exact container, coating and lid. Check the approved temperature and use specifications for that SKU. Do not assume a paper product is oven-safe, microwavable or suitable for boiling water. Request suitable samples and test with your food and operating conditions before committing to volume.

Are your products recyclable or compostable?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Disposal options vary by material, coating, lid and local collection rules. Paper appearance alone does not establish recyclability or compostability. Ask for the exact product specification and any applicable certification, then check whether your local facility accepts the complete item.

What coating options are available?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Selected products may be available with PE, PP, PLA or water-based barrier systems. Availability and suitability vary by product and intended use. Ask us to confirm the coating in your quote. Water-based does not automatically mean plastic-free, and a coating name alone does not establish recyclability or compostability.

What is the difference between recyclable, biodegradable and compostable?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Recyclable means an item can be processed into new material within a suitable collection and recycling system. Biodegradable describes breakdown under particular conditions and does not promise a useful timeframe or disposal route. Compostable means an item meets specified composting conditions; industrial and home composting are different. Check evidence for the exact product and local acceptance.

Where are your products manufactured?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Manufacturing origin depends on the product and production arrangement. If origin is important to your purchasing requirements, ask us to confirm it for the specific item in your written quote.

Will stock products have a manufacturer’s logo?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Branding varies by SKU and inventory batch. Check current product photos and ask us to confirm whether the supplied item is plain or carries a manufacturer mark. For your own branding, we can review suitable custom-printing or label options.

What is the difference between single-wall and double-wall cups?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Single-wall cups use one main paper wall. Double-wall cups add an outer wall for improved insulation and handling comfort. Choose a product rated for the drink temperature and check whether a sleeve is appropriate. Confirm the compatible lid separately.

Do you offer bags and pouches for my products?

Products, Materials & Food Use

We can review paper bags, reusable bags and flexible pouches for different food and retail uses. Share the contents, dimensions, weight, required shelf life, closure and branding needs. Material, barrier, valve and window options must be confirmed for the selected product.

Can you supply custom bakery bags and food wrapping paper?

Products, Materials & Food Use

We can review custom bread and cookie bags, window bags, deli or grease-resistant paper and foil-lined options. Send dimensions, food use, print design, quantity and deadline. We will confirm the appropriate structure, MOQ and food-contact suitability for your application.

Can you supply jars, bottles and matching closures?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Share the capacity, shape, neck finish, closure, filling method and expected temperature. We can review suitable sourcing options and sample availability. Stock status, minimum quantities and packing arrangements are confirmed for each request.

Which sizes, dimensions and case quantities are available?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Use the selected product listing for current dimensions, capacity, compatible accessories and case quantity. If you need a non-standard size, share a reference and we will check custom options. Prices and availability in older conversations may no longer apply.

What happens if a product is out of stock?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Contact us with the product, quantity and required arrival date. We can check replenishment timing, preorder options or alternatives. A product appearing in a past conversation does not confirm present stock; we will confirm availability before accepting your order.

How long does a custom order take?

Production, Shipping & Duties

Custom orders require artwork approval, production, quality checks and transport. The current order-process page indicates approximately 8–10 weeks for production and delivery, but the schedule depends on the product, approvals, route and customs. Your written quote will state the estimated schedule and what starts the lead-time clock. Tell us your required arrival date before confirming.

How long does a ready-to-ship order take?

Production, Shipping & Duties

Processing and transit are separate. Our current shipping policy states typical processing of 2–7 business days, with transit estimates varying by destination and service. Check that policy and your checkout or order confirmation for the applicable estimate. Ready-to-ship timelines do not apply to custom production.

Do you ship to Canada, the USA and other countries?

Production, Shipping & Duties

We serve customers in Canada and the USA. For other destinations, contact us with the product, quantity and delivery location so we can check whether shipping can be arranged and quote the relevant costs and timing.

Is shipping free?

Production, Shipping & Duties

The current shipping policy lists standard Canada-wide shipping for eligible orders over $599 CAD and Winnipeg scheduled delivery for eligible orders over $299 CAD. Check the current policy and checkout for eligibility and exclusions. Custom-order delivery is governed by the written quote; do not assume US shipping, import charges or split deliveries are included.

Can I collect my order or request express delivery?

Production, Shipping & Duties

Winnipeg pickup may be arranged; wait for a ready-for-pickup confirmation and collection instructions before travelling. Priority shipping may be offered for eligible Canadian stock orders. Confirm availability and delivery requirements before ordering; an express transit service does not eliminate processing or production time.

Who pays US duties, tariffs and import taxes?

Production, Shipping & Duties

The applicable charges depend on the goods, origin, classification and shipment terms. Your written quote should identify whether duties, taxes and brokerage are included or excluded and who is responsible for them. Ask for clarification before confirming; delivery to your address does not automatically mean import charges are included.

How can I track my order or check a delay?

Production, Shipping & Duties

For dispatched stock orders, check your shipment-confirmation email for the available tracking link. For custom orders, contact your account owner for production and shipment milestones. If an update is missing or your delivery is late, send your order number so we can investigate and provide the latest available estimate.

What if nobody is available to receive the delivery?

Production, Shipping & Duties

Delivery arrangements depend on the courier and shipment type. Check your tracking notices and coordinate with the carrier for redelivery or collection where offered. For pallet deliveries, confirm receiving hours, access and unloading requirements with us before dispatch.

Which payment methods and currencies do you accept?

Payments, Changes & Returns

For online orders, checkout displays the available payment methods, transaction currency and total before payment. Custom orders follow the currency, payment method and schedule in the written quote or invoice. Ask us before paying if you need a specific currency or payment arrangement.

Do you offer payment plans, financing or Net 30?

Payments, Changes & Returns

Financing or staged-payment options may be available for eligible customers and orders, subject to approval and written terms. Ask our team which options are currently offered. Do not assume Net 30, a particular deposit schedule or an RBC plan applies to every order.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Payments, Changes & Returns

Contact us promptly with your order number and requested change. Whether a change is possible depends on processing, artwork approval and production status. Custom work and committed factory or shipping costs can limit changes or create additional charges. We will confirm the available options before proceeding.

What is your return policy?

Payments, Changes & Returns

For eligible standard products, the current return policy requires unused items in unopened original packaging to be returned within 15 days of receipt. Return shipping and a 15% restocking fee may apply; sale/clearance and opened foodservice products have restrictions. Contact support for authorization and read the full policy. Custom-order return eligibility must be confirmed in your order terms.

What if my order is damaged, incorrect or incomplete?

Payments, Changes & Returns

Contact support with your order number, photos of the affected products and outer packaging, and the quantities involved. The current return policy asks customers to report these issues within five business days of receipt. Our team will review the evidence and confirm the appropriate resolution. Replacement availability and timing depend on the case.

What if my parcel is missing or I entered the wrong address?

Payments, Changes & Returns

Contact support promptly with your order number, tracking information and correct delivery details. We will check the available carrier options or investigate the shipment. Address corrections, redelivery or returns can involve charges. A delivered tracking status requires investigation before a replacement or refund is confirmed.

Can I use a discount code?

Payments, Changes & Returns

Promotions apply only under their stated eligibility, expiry and combination rules. Check the offer and checkout summary before paying. If a valid code does not work, send support the code and affected products. Do not rely on an expired offer or assume that discounts can be combined.

Can you store part of my bulk order and deliver it later?

Storage, Reorders & Multiple Locations

Storage and staged-release arrangements may be available for suitable orders. We will confirm the warehouse, stock ownership, storage period, volume charges, handling fees, delivery fees and release schedule in writing. Storage is not automatically free or included with every custom order.

Can you support multiple locations and seasonal demand?

Storage, Reorders & Multiple Locations

Share your locations, expected consumption and opening or peak-season dates. We can review a coordinated packaging specification, reorder plan and delivery or storage options. Production capacity, buffer stock and split shipments are agreed case by case.

How do I reorder custom packaging?

Storage, Reorders & Multiple Locations

Send your previous order number, required quantities and delivery date. We will reconfirm pricing, artwork version, specifications, stock or production availability and shipping terms. Tell us about any changes before approving the reorder.

Is a packaging subscription the same as a growth membership?

Storage, Reorders & Multiple Locations

No. A packaging subscription, where available, schedules recurring product orders and payments. A growth or AI membership provides the services and access described in its plan. Check the separate subscription or membership agreement for billing, changes and cancellation terms.

How do I manage a recurring packaging order?

Storage, Reorders & Multiple Locations

If your account has an active packaging subscription, use the secure account or subscription-management link provided with it, or contact support. Available changes can include products, delivery frequency, address and payment method. Changes are subject to your plan terms and the next order’s processing cutoff.

What does KimEcopak offer beyond packaging?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Alongside packaging, KimEcopak is developing growth support and AI-enabled systems for food and beverage businesses. Depending on the selected offer, support can include lead capture, customer enquiries, follow-up and business guidance. Ask our team which services are currently available and what is included.

Which membership plans are available?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Please review the current membership offer or contact our team for an itemized plan comparison covering price, currency, AI channels, usage allowances, onboarding, support and packaging benefits. Packaging purchases and membership billing are separate unless your agreement states otherwise.

What can the AI systems help with?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

The current offer describes AI phone and chat support for enquiries, lead capture, qualification, follow-up and bookings. Exact channels, integrations and usage depend on the plan and configured workflow. Ask for a demonstration using your business scenarios and confirm when a conversation is handed to your team.

Does membership include a packaging discount?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Any packaging benefit depends on your current membership agreement, eligible products and offer conditions. Confirm the discount and how it is applied before ordering. Do not assume legacy template-membership discounts apply to the current AI offer.

Can I cancel, change or get a refund for my membership?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Billing, trial, plan-change, cancellation and refund rules are set out in the membership agreement accepted at signup. Review those terms before joining and contact support if you need help managing your plan. Do not assume a previous membership’s refund guarantee or change rules apply.

Can my team or multiple locations use the membership?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Access, location coverage and licensing depend on the selected plan. Tell us how many users, locations, phone numbers and brands you need so we can confirm the appropriate setup and any additional fees.

Are social media templates and content resources included?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Available resources depend on your current plan. Ask our team to confirm which templates, guides or content tools are included, the delivery schedule, permitted users and brand-editing rights. Older monthly design counts and colour-theme rules should not be treated as current entitlements.

Do you provide business toolkits or done-for-you support?

Membership, AI & Growth Support

Contact our team to discuss the business problem you want to solve and whether a toolkit, advisory engagement or implementation service is currently suitable. Scope, deliverables, fees, timeline and your team’s responsibilities must be confirmed in a separate proposal.

How do I contact the right team?

Contact & Partnerships

Call us at +1 778-946-0585 or email halo@kimecopak.ca. For an existing order, have your order number and issue ready. For a new packaging project, share your product, approximate quantity, delivery location and required arrival date. You can also use our quote form to request a free 3D mockup.

Do you work with distributors, referral partners or affiliates?

Contact & Partnerships

We welcome enquiries about suitable partnerships. Tell us your business, territory, audience or customer base and expected activity. We will discuss the appropriate arrangement; eligibility, pricing, commissions and responsibilities must be confirmed in a written agreement.

Can you provide certification or food-contact documentation?

Products, Materials & Food Use

Ask for the documentation relevant to the exact product, material, manufacturing site and intended use. We will check which declarations, test reports or certificates are available and their scope. A factory or paper supplier certificate does not automatically certify every finished product.
