Custom Acrylic Boxes

Our standard MOQ is 50 pieces per design. That covers the tooling and print setup a custom box requires, and it's low for a real factory — most acrylic manufacturers start at 100 or 300. The 50-piece minimum applies per design, not across designs: 50 units of one box is one MOQ. If you want to trial a hinged or lidded box before committing to a full run, we recommend ordering a paid sample or a small first batch — send us your quantity and we'll tell you honestly what's feasible rather than quoting a run you don't need.

The 50-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 can't blend five different boxes into one 50-piece order at the single-design price. What you can do: pick your top one or two designs to each meet the minimum, or order a mixed batch where each design's setup cost is itemized in the quote. For buyers who genuinely need low volume across many artworks — 'we don't need 500 units of every art' — UV printing is the better route, because it prints variable artwork without a per-design screen.

Per-unit cost drops in tiers as quantity rises, because the fixed costs — cutting setup, print-screen or file preparation, and sampling — spread across more pieces. The steepest drop is usually between 50 and a few hundred units. By several thousand pieces, material and labor dominate and the curve flattens. We quote in tiers (for example 50 / 500 / 5,000 / 10,000) so you can see exactly where the price breaks fall and choose the quantity that fits your budget. All figures are indicative FOB Shenzhen ranges — send your target quantity for exact tier pricing.

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 is cheaper. Tell us how premium the metallic needs to look and we'll match the method to the effect.

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.
