    Pack-out & release

    Release against BOM, carton and final inspection.

Inputs needed from the buyer

A practical file list for the project coordinator.

An incomplete brief can still start, while open items remain visible and never become an automatic capability promise.

Database materials, finishes & packaging

Show reviewable directions without publishing one universal specification.

Material, finish and packaging directions may be introduced, while the exact combination, thickness, tolerance and production-file parameters must follow the applicable template and prepress review.

01

Material directions

  • Grey board
  • Blue-core paper
  • White-core paper
  • Black-core paper

Historical reference range 1.5-2.0 mm; the project value remains to be confirmed

02

Surface & forming directions

  • Gloss, matte and tactile lamination directions
  • Scratch-resistant surface-protection direction
  • Foil, texture, spot UV and emboss/deboss directions
  • Shaped die cutting and window directions

Suitability follows material, size, quantity and sample review.

03

Packaging directions

  • Lid-and-base box
  • Tuck or lock-bottom carton
  • Drawer box
  • Book-style box
  • Gift box
  • Magnetic presentation box

A box name does not confirm load, dimensions or production route.

Prepress selection rule

A 3 mm or 5 mm bleed may be selected; the two values do not conflict. Use the value stated in the applicable product template, dieline or project confirmation. The final file format likewise follows the project template and prepress review.

Follow the project template and prepress check

Product FAQ

Lead with known facts and state the open boundary.

Can every silhouette be manufactured?+

A silhouette alone is not enough to decide. Sharp corners, narrow sections, interlocks, tool strength and board behaviour all require engineering review.

Does every shaped puzzle need a new die?+

Not necessarily. Qinyi can first check documented formats; otherwise the quotation should define the new tool, ownership and storage.

What information is needed for a children’s product?+

At minimum, provide intended age, destination country, target size, material requirements and any buyer-specified standard. The actual test scope remains product-specific.
