Let us be precise about this, because packaging suppliers are often vague about it. We ship to Texas. We are not located in Texas. Boxes are produced at our two plants, West Chicago in the United States and Guangzhou in China, and US shipping is included in your order. Our head office is at 1664 East Florence Blvd, Casa Grande, AZ.
What that means for your delivery date
Your date is production plus transit, and the lane you choose does most of the work. Rush is expedited production plus air freight. Standard moves by air. Cost saver moves by sea, which is the cheapest and the longest. The floor is from about 7 business days of production, plus 2 to 5 for delivery, and specialty imported items can run up to about 12 weeks. Rush carries a premium of about 7 to 25% depending on the job.
| Lane | What it is | Sensible for a Texas order when |
|---|---|---|
| Rush | Expedited production plus air freight | A store set date or an event is fixed |
| Standard | Normal production, air freight | You have a few weeks of room |
| Cost saver | Normal production, sea freight | Volume is high and the date is flexible |
Delivery details that actually change the timeline
- Whether the delivery point is a commercial dock, a small retail unit or a home address. Pallets and residential addresses do not mix well.
- Receiving hours, especially for anything delivered on a pallet rather than by parcel.
- Whether someone is on site to sign, and who to call if they are not.
- Whether the shipment can be split, if part of the order is more urgent than the rest.
Give us these on the quote and the transit leg stops being the unpredictable part.
Texas heat and storage
One practical note for buyers in the state. Board is hygroscopic and it does not enjoy a hot storeroom or a sealed trailer sitting in a yard. Boxes stored in high heat and humidity can soften and lose stack strength, and printed laminates can be affected by prolonged heat. If your storage is a warehouse without climate control, tell us the loaded weight and stack height so the board grade accounts for it, and order to the space and turnover you have rather than buying two years of stock.
What we make, and what it costs
Everything in our range ships to Texas addresses: retail cartons, corrugated shippers and mailers, food and bakery boxes, rigid presentation boxes, displays and inserts. The minimum is 100 boxes per design. Pricing starts from about $0.48 per unit at bulk volumes and is confirmed on your written quote. The die, the plates, design support, US shipping and a digital proof before anything prints are included.
There is no sample kit to buy. If you want to see materials before committing, raise it in the quote conversation and we will tell you what is possible for your job.
If you are shipping product on to customers from Texas, the sizing and dimensional weight notes on corrugated box dimensions are worth reading before you order. For a plain board look at volume, see wholesale kraft boxes. To get a date and a price for your Texas address, send the spec through the quote form or call +1 (201) 510-1994.
