Shipping & Logistics Recommendations
Printed paperboard rolls wrapped with waterproof film on pallets to avoid moisture absorption and print damage. Finished nested printed paper cups packed into corrugated master cartons, palletized for sea freight. Store in dry and ventilated warehouse; high humidity will weaken paper stiffness and cause print smudge. Stack height ≤1.2m to prevent carton deformation and cup crushing. Complete food contact test reports and compliance certificates ready for customs clearance. 24-hour after-sales support for product and packaging adjustment.
