No, we do not have a minimum order. However, orders over a specific size or amount may need to be coordinated specially. If you have an order that is too large to meet our online requirements, please contact us directly.

For most orders we ship UPS ground, however, if you need your order faster or in a different manner, we can ship that too. Our online system calculates shipping using ground standards automatically. If you need another shipping method, please contact us directly.

We offer a large variety of box types. Here is a list of a few, plus their descriptions.

  • Full Overlap Container (FOL) - a standard shipping carton where the top and bottom flaps overlap.
  • Half Slotted Container (HSC) - a standard box with no flaps and is open on top.
  • Corrugated Pad - used as an insert, extra padding, or to separate layers.
