Packaging rules to check first
Canada's Consumer Packaging and Labelling Regulations require packaged consumer products to show a product name, net quantity and the dealer's identity. If the box will hold something you sell, put that information on the label before the box is printed. The regulations set standard container sizes only for a few goods, such as wine and peanut butter, so a gift box has no fixed size: state your own dimensions in the request. Packaging materials imported into Canada also go through customs checks by the CBSA.
Season: why November and December matter
Winter in Canada runs from December to February, and demand for gift boxes peaks from late November, when Christmas and New Year presents are wrapped. A box ordered in early December may arrive after the parties, so give the delivery date in your request and ask for offers early. Birthdays and weddings follow the same logic all year: name the date you need the boxes by.
Delivery and how boxes are quoted
If you are in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa, ask each seller whether the price includes delivery to your city. Printed boxes are quoted per unit, so the price per box falls as the quantity rises. Many listings in our search give sizes in inches, so ask for centimetres and millimetres to avoid a box that is too small for the gift.
What to put in your request
Give sellers the details they will ask for anyway, in one message:
- packaging type (box, bag, tube or window box)
- dimensions in cm
- quantity
- material and colour
- logo, with a print file if you have one
- deadline and budget in CA$
