MOQ for paper boxes typically aligns with specific box structures and paperboard stock: <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">Standard Folding Cartons<\/strong> typically require <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">1,000 to 3,000 units<\/strong> to optimize high-speed offset print runs and automated die-cutting sheet usage; <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">Rigid Gift Boxes<\/strong> (handcrafted or semi-automated setup boxes) start at <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">500 to 1,000 units<\/strong>, as raw greyboard sheeting and custom wrapping paper allow more flexible production runs; <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">Custom Paperboard Inserts<\/strong> generally require <strong class=\"text-[#1d1d1f]\">1,000 units<\/strong> to amortize dedicated tooling setup fees.
