Delivered project
A US wedding-stationery and rental brand ordered 100 slot-top acrylic boxes in 2 variants cut from one file: retail boxes with names and a date laser-engraved on the front, and rental boxes with a swappable printed panel. We matched the white acrylic to their printed stationery on swatch chips, delivered the run in 18 production days, and reorders now take 15 days. For metallic gold artwork across several SKUs, see the metallic gold box project.
“We compared quotes from three suppliers and only Wetop was the actual factory. The first sample matched our vector logo exactly, the bulk run matched the sample, and the reorder six months later was identical. That consistency is why we stopped shopping around.”
Our standard production MOQ is 100 pieces per design. It covers the tooling and print setup a custom box requires. Quantities cannot be combined across designs: 50 units of Design A plus 50 of Design B do not make one production MOQ. If you want to trial a hinged or lidded box first, order a paid sample so you can approve fit, closure, print, and finish before production.
The 100-piece MOQ applies per design and per size, because each variation needs its own cutting layout and, if printed, its own screen or print file. You cannot blend several under-minimum designs into one 100-piece order at the single-design price. Pick the strongest one or two designs to meet the minimum, or use paid samples to decide which artwork should enter production. UV printing remains the better route for variable artwork because it avoids a separate screen per design.
Per-unit cost drops in tiers as quantity rises because cutting setup, print preparation, and sampling spread across more pieces. The steepest drop is usually between the 100-piece production floor and a few hundred units. By several thousand pieces, material and labor dominate and the curve flattens. We quote 100 / 500 / 5,000 / 10,000 so you can see where the price breaks fall. Send your target quantity for exact FOB Shenzhen pricing.
Because the setup work does not shrink with the quantity. Every custom box run requires cutting layout, print-file preparation, process setup, and inspection. Spreading that work across fewer than 100 pieces makes the production run a poor use of time and an expensive order for the buyer. The better test path is a paid production sample in 3–5 days, followed by the 100-piece production minimum after approval.
Sometimes — it depends on the calendar, so count backward with us. Production runs 15–20 days after sample approval, the sample takes 3–5 days, and international shipping adds transit on top; artwork must be final before the sample starts. An artwork-to-delivery window of two weeks is usually not realistic for a custom printed run, and we'll say so upfront rather than take an order we can't land. What helps: a simple standard-shape box, UV printing (no screens to make), and air freight. Note that we supply the boxes only — we don't fill or kit them with your products. Send the event date, quantity, and artwork status, and we'll map the realistic calendar within 24 hours.
Four common methods, each with a different look and cost. Silk-screen printing lays down bold, opaque solid colors and spot colors (including metallics) but needs one screen per color, so it suits single- or few-color logos in volume. UV printing prints full-color, photo-quality artwork directly onto acrylic with no screens, so it's ideal for multi-color logos, gradients, and low-volume variable artwork. Laser engraving cuts a permanent frosted-etch mark into the acrylic — no ink, catches the light, reads as premium. Etched (sandblast) marking gives a similar frosted effect over larger areas. Send us your logo and we'll recommend the method that matches your color count, quantity, and finish.
Yes, with a caveat worth knowing upfront. True metallic gold and silver are produced most reliably by silk-screen printing with metallic inks or by a foil/hot-stamp application — a flat digital UV print can approximate a gold tone but does not carry the same reflective shine. So a genuine mirror-metallic logo usually means silk-screen or foil, which adds a per-color screen or a stamping die to the setup. If a printed gold that reads well at arm's length is enough, UV print costs less. Tell us how premium the metallic needs to look and we'll match the method to the effect.
Yes — nothing goes into production on a verbal description. You get a dimensioned drawing or mockup confirming box size, thickness, hinge or lid construction, and the print layout with your artwork placed exactly as it will sit on the panel, full-color included. After your sign-off we build the physical sample, and we send photos — or video for moving parts like hinges — before bulk production begins. What you approve is what we produce: the approved drawing and sample are the reference every unit is inspected against.
Yes. Beyond the acrylic box itself, we produce a printed outer carton or gift box — a branded cardboard or rigid box that the acrylic box ships inside — so the product arrives retail-ready or gift-ready. This is packaging around the acrylic box, quoted separately from the box, and it's a common add-on for retail and D2C buyers. Note we do not make food-service or dessert packaging. Send your artwork and box dimensions and we'll quote the outer packaging alongside the acrylic box.
A repeat order skips the setup you already paid for — your cutting files, screens, and approved sample stay on record — but the per-unit price can still move. Acrylic sheet cost, labor, freight, packaging materials, and exchange rates all shift between orders, and any spec change (size, thickness, print, quantity tier) is a new calculation. Before invoicing a reorder we confirm four things: that the previous spec is unchanged, the quantity, the destination, and your payment method — then we send the invoice. If the price moved, the quote shows exactly which line moved it.
Wetop is the factory. We cut, fabricate, print, engrave, and inspect custom acrylic boxes in our own Shenzhen plant, and we have manufactured acrylic there since 2008. A trading company resells another workshop's production, so it cannot promise that a bulk run comes off the same line as the sample you approved. Ask any supplier the test question we welcome: which machine cut the sample, and who inspected it? We answer with the line and the inspector, and we can arrange a factory visit or a live video walkthrough on request.
Three practical reasons. First, price: a broker adds a margin on top of the factory quote, and the margin usually grows on reorders once the relationship is locked in. Second, accuracy: every question about hinge fit, print registration, or wall thickness passes through one more person, and the answer degrades each hop. Third, control: your cutting files, screens, and approved sample stay with the team that made them, so a reorder six months later matches the first run. We quote direct, the engineer who reviews your drawing is the one who signs off the sample, and there is no intermediary between you and the line.
Every unit passes 100% pre-shipment inspection against your approved physical sample, and QC photos go to you before the cargo leaves the warehouse. On arrival you have a 7-day inspection window to check the shipment against that master. Transit damage or units that fail the approved spec are reviewed with photo evidence and remade. Custom production is not sold with a warranty period; the approved sample, not a time-based guarantee, is the acceptance standard.
Standard terms are a 30% deposit before production and the 70% balance before shipment, paid by T/T bank transfer, PayPal, or Western Union. Sample fees are invoiced separately and are never credited against the production order. The pro forma invoice lists the box spec, branding method, quantity tier, packing, and freight term so you can check every line before the deposit goes out.
Ask for both if you are comparing suppliers, because the number that matters is the landed cost per box, not the factory price. FOB Shenzhen is our standard: you or your forwarder take over at the port, which suits buyers who already ship from China regularly. DDP adds freight, duty, and delivery to your door in one figure, which suits a first order or a buyer without a forwarder. Our guide to FOB vs DDP for acrylic orders walks through what each term includes and how to compare quotes fairly.
We can sign a reasonable NDA after reviewing and agreeing its terms. Your artwork and project files are used only to quote, sample and manufacture your order, never published or reused for another customer. The agreement should protect your confidential project information without treating common manufacturing methods as your exclusive property. Please send the proposed agreement for review before sharing confidential files.
Send us your box dimensions, quantity, and your logo or artwork — we recommend the right printing or engraving method, mock it up, and respond within 24 hours with tier pricing. No commitment required. Sample before you commit to production.
