FAQ
Questions from Egypt
- Do you make Ramadan gift boxes for Egypt?
- Yes. We make rigid and printed gift boxes for Ramadan and Eid collections.
- Which language must packaging use in Egypt?
- Mandatory information is generally required in Arabic. Confirm the exact rules for your product with your importer or adviser, and we lay out the text you supply.
- Air or sea: which should I choose?
- Air for launches and urgent stock; sea for production volumes where the timeline allows. We quote both so you can compare.
- Can collapsible rigid boxes reduce my shipping cost?
- Yes. They ship flat, so many more fit in each carton, which cuts freight volume and storage. We compare assembled and flat options in your quote.
