What to consider

01

Understand the standard packaging configuration

A common surgical mask configuration is 50 pieces per box and 40 boxes per carton, giving 2,000 masks per master carton. But this varies by model and market — some buyers prefer 25 or 100 pieces per box, and some markets require specific retail packaging. Confirm pieces per box, boxes per carton and the master carton dimensions and weight before ordering, because each choice changes your freight cost and how the product arrives at your customer.

  • 50 pcs/box and 40 boxes/carton is a common configuration
  • Pieces per box varies by model and market
  • Master carton dimensions and weight affect freight
02

How packaging affects landed cost

Landed cost is the unit price plus freight, insurance and any duties. Packaging directly affects freight because it determines the carton volume and weight. A lighter, more compact carton ships more cheaply per unit, while bulky retail packaging adds volume and cost. For a bulk order, compare the landed cost per unit across packaging options, not just the unit price.

  • Landed cost = unit price + freight + insurance + duties
  • Carton volume and weight drive freight cost
  • Compare landed cost per unit, not just unit price
03

Choose sea or air freight by volume and urgency

Sea freight is economical for large volumes but slow, while air freight is fast but expensive per unit. For a first order or a time-sensitive launch, air freight may be worth the cost. For steady restocking, sea freight lowers the per-unit cost. Confirm the freight terms (FOB, CIF or EXW) and who arranges the shipping, and build in buffer for customs and transit time.

  • Sea freight: economical for large volumes, slow
  • Air freight: fast but expensive per unit
  • Confirm freight terms (FOB, CIF or EXW)
04

Plan for private-label packaging

If you sell under your own brand, confirm the supplier offers private-label packaging — custom boxes, printing and branding — and the minimum quantity for that. Private-label packaging usually carries a higher MOQ than plain packaging because it requires dedicated tooling and setup. Confirm whether the certification file can be issued under your brand or remains under the manufacturer's name.

  • Private-label packaging carries a higher MOQ
  • Custom boxes, printing and branding
  • Confirm certification under your brand or the manufacturer's
