Frequently Asked Questions

Our prices are competive. Will you find cheaper packaging elsewhere? Perhaps, but we strongly doubt you would receive the same level of service or quality from another supplier that you will get from us. 

We don't aim to be cheap, but we certainly aim to be the best. In return, you will get much better value for your dollar.

Yes. All our product is produced here in Melbourne and our materials are sourced locally to support other local businesses.

When businesses import products from overseas claiming them to be "cheaper", they need to establish if there are any real savings in the long run? When products that can easily be manufactured here in Australia are imported from overseas, it is at the cost of the Australian economy and jobs, which results in a steady decline in domestic manufacturing and skilled workers and also places a strain on our welfare system.

In short, Australian products are manufactured up to a standard, not down to a price. We all need to get behind Australian companies to keep Australian jobs and the money circulating in the local economy.

How long is a piece of string? We always aim for the quickest possible turn around times, but there's many variables that must be factored in. These include the the production processes involved, the amount of work going through the factory at the time of ordering, and how your order fits into the weekly board production schedule. On average, we would advise a week from order, but there are times where this can be extended out. We will provide you with an ETA when you order and keep you updated as it progresses through production.

It sure is. Please don't feel guilty about using cardboard packaging. Cardboard is a biodegradable, compostable, renewable, sustainable product made from recycled paper and raw pulp from trees that are sourced from sustainable forests. Also, the inks used in packaging are made from eco-friendly vegetable oils and suitable for recycling too. We recycle all the offcuts from the manufacturing process so there's minimal wastage. However, cardboard can only be re-used if you fo your but and recycle your cardboard packaging to avoid it from going into landfill so please recycle!
