Frequently asked
What is the minimum order on custom-printed mailers? +
250 units for flexo. 50 units for digital. Volume pricing kicks in at 1,000.
What artwork files do you need? +
Vector logos (AI, EPS, or PDF). Brand colours as Pantone codes. Apex's design team can convert raster art to print-ready vector — included with order.
How does the price compare to overseas suppliers? +
For runs under 5,000 units, Apex is typically cost-comparable or cheaper after freight and duty. Above 10,000 units, overseas can win on unit cost but loses 4–6 weeks of lead time and incurs higher tariff risk.
Can I print on the inside of the box? +
Yes — one-colour or full-colour interior. Adds about 8–12% to per-unit cost depending on coverage.
