- What affects custom packaging pricing?
- Pricing depends on dimensions, structure, materials, finishes, tooling, order quantity, packing requirements and the delivery destination. Projects are quoted to their actual specification.
- How long does production take?
- Typical production is estimated at 5–7 weeks after approvals, excluding shipping. Timing varies by structure, materials, finishes, quantity and production schedule.
- Can TM&HT coordinate international delivery?
- Yes. TM&HT coordinates manufacturing, quality control, packing and international freight. Typical stated freight windows are 5–7 days by air and 20–35 days by sea, subject to route and shipment conditions.
