A private-label smart lock order is two products: the lock and the packaging. The lock can be adjusted between runs. A printed colour box cannot.
What to send
- Logo in a vector format, not a screenshot or a photograph.
- Existing box artwork if you have it, or the layout you want.
- The manual language or languages required.
- Barcode and retailer requirements if the product goes into a store.
- Any compliance text that has to appear on the box.

The approval sequence
- Specification confirmed in writing, including mortise, finish and quantity.
- Digital proof of the box and the manual sent for approval.
- Sample produced and, where the packaging is new, a packed sample sent.
- Written approval of the proof and the sample before anything is printed.
- Production with photos at the packing stage.
- Packing and shipping-mark photos sent before dispatch.
The MOQ question
The lock MOQ is one carton for padlocks and thirty sets for door locks, but printed packaging usually sets a higher practical minimum because of the print run. Tell us the quantity you want and we will say what is achievable at that level rather than quoting a number you cannot use.
Send your artwork and get a packaging proof
We will review the artwork, confirm the print minimum for your quantity and send a digital proof before anything is produced.
