How IndiaUnbox makes gifting programs retail-ready

• Design & branding adaptation
  Dielines, colorways, foil/UV/emboss finishes; gift-box structures (magnetic flap, telescope, drawer), and branded jute/cotton carriers.
  
• Cluster-based vendor shortlists
  We curate factories in Moradabad/Saharanpur/Khurja/Sanganer/West Bengal jute for the exact mix you need, verifying export capacity and finish capability.
  
• Kitting at source (with QA gates)
  Piece-part QC → kitting line → carton sealing. ISTA-based packaging trials (drop/vibration/compression) for safe e-commerce & retail handling.
  
• Compliance & labeling sorted
  
  • Pre-packed non-food items: Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 (MRP, month-year of packing, net qty, name/address). We redline your labels.
    
  • If foods are included: labels per FSSAI Labelling & Display Regulations, 2020 (FSSAI license, nutrition, veg/non-veg symbol, allergens).
    
  • Wood packaging (export): ISPM-15 heat-treated pallets/crates where used.
    
  • Barcodes: GS1 placement + verification to ISO/IEC 15416 for clean scans at DC/checkout.
    
• Sustainability options (prove it, don’t just claim it)
  Recycled handmade-paper boxes (Sanganer), jute carriers (W. Bengal), FSC® paperboard where required; we keep material proofs and supplier declarations.
  
• Should-cost & negotiation
  Quotes normalized to metal/wood/paper/jute inputs and current freight; we issue ready-to-send ask notes when benchmarks move.
  

Quality you can measure
