FAQs

Questions, answered

Can't find what you need? Call (647) 494-7229.

What is your minimum order quantity?

It depends on the product and the print method. Our pop-top and 125 mm screw-cap tubes start at 40,000 units and wide screw-cap tubes at 30,000. Digitally printed pouches, labels and cartons suit much smaller runs. Tell us your quantity and we will recommend the most cost-effective option.

How fast are your lead times?

Tubes run on a 30-day production lead time. Printed pouches, roll stock and folding cartons depend on the print method, quantity and finishes, and every quote includes a production timeline so you can plan your launch.

Do you charge plate fees?

Not on digital printing. Flexo uses printing plates and rotogravure uses engraved cylinders, which pay off on longer runs through a lower unit price. We will tell you which method gives you the lower total cost for your order.

Digital, flexo or rotogravure: which printing method should I choose?

Choose digital for the quickest turnaround, short runs and multiple designs, since there are no plates to make. Choose flexo for the most cost-effective unit price on medium and long runs. Rotogravure suits very large, repeat runs that need premium image quality and the lowest unit cost at volume. Tell us your quantities and we will quote the method that fits.

What colours do your pop top tubes come in?

Generic white, generic black and clear are our standard colours, and we can produce any custom Pantone colour, from pink and purple to your exact brand blue.

Is your packaging child-resistant?

Our child-resistant pouches are certified, and our tube range includes child-resistant closures and label templates for your compliance review. Ask us for the certification documents for the exact format you are ordering.

Can you match my brand colours?

We use Pantone references and proofs to target your brand colours. Results depend on the substrate and print method; approve colour expectations before production.

Where do you deliver?

We supply brands across Canada and the United States, with a focus on Ontario, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.

Are you a Canadian company?

Yes. Lion Packaging is a proud Canadian company, serving brands across Canada and the United States.
