Product packaging · checked 11 November 2026
Get primary packaging and its mandatory labels right first; ship in a plain box with a sticker and a printed card until repeat orders justify custom print.
Primary packaging touches the product and carries the legal label: FSSAI details on food, and MRP and net quantity under Legal Metrology for packaged goods sold online. Corrugated box makers such as Packman and NextInPack print custom ecommerce boxes at MOQs of a few hundred units; get quotes from two or three, drop-test before your first bulk run, and do not let the packaging MOQ set your product MOQ.
