Who is corporate and program packaging for?
Program buyers order the same packaging again and again, often for someone else's brand, across several SKUs or to a fixed date. These are the buyers this page is written for.
Promotional-products distributors
You sell branded goods to corporate clients and need the packaging to match. Send several client jobs to one rep, with each client's artwork on its own proof.
Swag and onboarding-kit companies
New-hire kits and swag boxes repeat every month or every quarter. The same rep handles every reorder, so you do not brief the job from scratch each time.
Event and experiential agencies
Launches, conferences and activations run to a fixed date. Give the in-hands date first. Every quote lists Normal, Express and Priority delivery with the turnaround for each, so you can pick the option that fits.
Fulfillment houses
You pack and ship for brands and need packaging at your dock. Orders ship delivered duty paid to your door, so no import duties are due on arrival.
Franchise brands
Every location needs the same box, bag and label. One rep handles the account and every reorder, and each design is approved on a proof before it is printed.
Brands with three or more SKUs
A range of products means a range of packaging. List every SKU with its quantity in one request, and one rep handles the whole range.
How are program and resale orders handled?
Program orders use the same quote, proof and rep as any Cubit order. The table lists the parts that matter most for repeat and resale work.
| What you need | How it works | Used by |
|---|---|---|
| Several SKUs in one request | List each SKU or design with its own quantity and send them together. Each design gets its own proof before printing. | Product ranges, franchise sets, multi-client jobs |
| Ordering for a client | Say on the request that the order is for a client. The packaging is printed with the artwork on the proof you approve, so it can carry your client's brand. | Distributors, agencies, swag companies |
| Reorders through the same rep | The rep who handled the first run handles the reorder. Send the quantity and the date. A proof is approved before the run is printed, as on the first order. | Onboarding kits, franchise reorders |
| Kitting and fulfillment through partners | Kitting, co-packing and fulfillment are arranged through partners, never in-house. Tell us what goes in each kit and where it ships, and your rep arranges it with the partner. | Gift sets, new-hire kits, event packs |
| One rep | One rep handles the account, every quote and every reorder, so you do not explain the program twice. | Every repeat buyer |
| Several quantities on one quote | Your quantity plus up to three larger runs, with Normal, Express and Priority delivery and the turnaround for each. | Budget planning, approvals, tenders |
| Delivered duty paid | Orders ship DDP to your door. You choose normal or fast delivery on the quote. | Fulfillment houses, fixed event dates |
Kitting, co-packing and fulfillment are arranged through partners. If your program needs packing and shipping as well as packaging, see contract packaging.

How does a corporate order run?
Every program order follows the same six steps, whether it is a first run of swag boxes or the tenth reorder of a franchise carton.
- 1
Request a quote
Send the format, your quantity, the in-hands date and the destination through the quote panel. One rep picks it up and handles the account from then on, including every reorder.
- 2
Agree the specification
Size, material, print and finish are agreed with your rep. If you are unsure of a detail, describe what goes inside and who receives it, and the rep proposes a specification.
- 3
Priced at your quantity plus up to three larger runs
The quote prices the quantity you asked for and up to three larger runs. It lists Normal, Express and Priority delivery with the turnaround for each.
- 4
Approve the proof
A proof of every design is sent for your approval. Nothing is printed until you sign it off.
- 5
Production: 7 to 12 business days
Production takes 7 to 12 business days after you approve the proof. Count business days, not calendar days.
- 6
Delivered duty paid to your door
Goods ship DDP with the normal or fast delivery option you chose on the quote. Duties are paid before the goods reach you, so none are due on arrival.
How far ahead should you order for an event or a holiday send?
Work back from the date the goods must be in hand. Production takes 7 to 12 business days after proof approval. The rest depends on your sign-off and the delivery option you pick.
| Stage | What happens | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Quote and specification | Send the format, quantities, in-hands date and destination. Agree size, material, print and finish. | Depends on how complete the brief is |
| Proof approval | Check and sign off a proof of every design. Nothing is printed before this. | Depends on your sign-off |
| Production | The run is made to the approved proof. | 7 to 12 business days after proof approval |
| Delivery | Shipped delivered duty paid to your door, with the normal or fast option you chose on the quote. | Shown on the quote for each option |

What should you send for a program quote?
The more of this the first message has, the fewer questions come back. A rough answer is fine where you are not sure yet.
- Your quantity, plus up to three larger runs to price on the same quote
- Whether it is a one-time order or a recurring program, and how often you expect to reorder
- The date you need the goods in hand
- The destination, or the list of destinations if the run ships to more than one place
- The number of SKUs or designs, and the quantity of each
- Artwork or a brief; a proof is approved before anything is printed
- Whether you are ordering for your own brand or for a client, and the client's brand guidelines if so
- What goes inside each box or kit, and whether a fulfillment partner should pack and ship it
Not sure of the specification? Describe what goes in the box and who receives it, and the rep proposes one.
