Versions
List each size, artwork and construction as a separate production version. Changes can affect preparation and production even within one packaging family. Use that breakdown to discuss whether any preparation can be shared.
Cost drivers
Ask which costs are one-time preparation and which vary with the order. Tooling, print setup, special materials and manual assembly can affect the quotation in different ways. A higher quantity should still be compared using the same materials and finishing scope.
ElevaPack orders
For ElevaPack, start with 500 pieces per style, size and artwork. Special specifications can require more. If you have several versions below that quantity, send the exact breakdown for review; do not assume that adding them together meets the MOQ.

Packaging Printing
Plan artwork and printing around the selected packaging material and construction.
Separate versions before discussing quantity
Suppose an order needs three artwork versions with different quantities. Record each version rather than presenting only the combined total. ElevaPack’s standard 500 pcs applies per style, size and artwork; combined-order possibilities require an individual review.
Versions, quantities and cost
| Check | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Versions | List each size and artwork quantity. | Shared branding does not make files identical. |
| Setup | Identify dies, plates or other project setup. | A low unit quantity can carry the same setup tasks. |
| Assembly | Identify extra components and packing steps. | The number of pieces in a set affects the scope. |
Record the actual product, material or file version used for the comparison. Identify what remains undecided and which sample or document can resolve it.
