Labelling rules for packaging
Search results point to two rules. Packaged goods in India must follow labelling requirements under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. Food hampers need FSSAI licensing and food labelling, so if the box holds sweets or other food, state what is inside before you order and ask the seller whether the label is printed.
Climate, shipping and how it is bought
The climate is tropical, hot all year with a wet season and a dry season. If gifts travel during the rains, ask for moisture-resistant paper and sealed boxes. Boxes are priced per piece or per pack, so a pack of 50 works out much cheaper per box than a pack of 12. Delivery works between Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. Give the size in centimetres or inches and the quantity so the seller can quote.
What to write in your request
Give the packaging type, the dimensions, the quantity, the material (kraft, rigid or paper), the colour, whether you need a logo printed, the deadline, your budget and your delivery city. For a corporate order, say whether the box must carry a logo. For food, say what goes inside.
To get offers, describe the boxes in one request on BlaBlaPrice. Sellers registered on the site reply in the chat with their price and delivery terms.
