Practical Checklist

Concrete points to check before you move forward, based on what buyers commonly overlook.

Confirm the supplier's minimum order for private label runs

Custom packaging and branding often carry a higher MOQ than standard, unbranded products.

Provide complete artwork files early

Incomplete or low-resolution files are a common cause of delays in the proofing stage.

Request a physical packaging proof, not just a digital mockup

Colors and materials can look different in person than on a screen.

Clarify who owns the packaging design and tooling

This matters if you later want to switch suppliers while keeping the same branding.
