Apparel packaging should start with the folded product size. A shirt, socks, underwear set or hoodie may need very different packaging even when the brand artwork is similar.

Share the box or bag style, size, quantity and destination. Artwork is helpful, but not required for the first estimate. If your project has recycled paper, FSC paper, plastic-free packaging or supplier code requirements, send them before sampling.
