Overview
US buyers tend to work to a fixed retail calendar, so the critical question is not whether we can print the box but whether it lands before the reset date. We schedule backwards from the in-store date and put every milestone in writing.
The same standard applies to a first pilot run and to a full seasonal programme.
What US Buyers Usually Specify
Retailer-compliant carton markings, scannable barcodes, clear country-of-origin marking and sturdy master cartons top the list. Beauty, candle, confectionery and apparel programmes also commonly request inside printing and Pantone-matched brand colours.
