FAQ
Questions from Portugal
- Can Portuguese packaging also work in Brazil?
- The language is shared, but Brazilian rules differ, including front-of-pack nutrition labels. We plan market-specific panels.
- Which language must packaging use in Portugal?
- Mandatory information is generally required in Portuguese. 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.
