Collection: CUSTOM PACKAGING

Why F&B Brands in Canada Choose KimEcopak for Custom Packaging

Your packaging is the first physical thing a customer holds from your brand. For coffee shops, bubble tea chains, bakeries, and restaurant groups across Canada, it's often the most visible brand asset they own — more tangible than a website, more personal than a digital ad.

KimEcopak is a custom packaging manufacturer and distributor serving the Canadian and US food service market. Every product in this collection can be printed with your brand, produced to international eco-certifications, and warehoused until you need it — so you're never scrambling for stock or settling for generic.

Custom Packaging Wholesale Pricing — What to Expect

One of the first questions every business owner asks is: how much does custom packaging cost in Canada?

Here's a direct answer.

Pricing depends on four variables:

1. Product type — A custom coffee cup has different production costs than a sushi box or a non-woven shopping bag.
2. Order quantity — Custom packaging wholesale price drops significantly as volume increases. Orders at 10,000 pcs cost meaningfully less per unit than orders at 5,000 pcs.
3. Print complexity — Number of colours, Pantone matching, full-wrap vs. one-side print.
4. Material & certification — Water-based coated cups, FSC-certified kraft, or compostable sugarcane each carry different base costs.

As a benchmark, most custom packaging orders on this collection page range from $2,100 to $16,500 CAD per case depending on the product and quantity. This is wholesale pricing — per-unit costs are comparable to unbranded alternatives at equivalent volumes.

Low MOQ Custom Packaging — Starting at 5,000 Pieces

Most large custom packaging companies require minimum orders of 50,000 to 100,000 pieces — putting custom branding out of reach for independent cafés, growing restaurant groups, and food startups.

KimEcopak's low MOQ custom packaging starts at 5,000 pieces per size, making branded eco-packaging accessible to:

• Small businesses ordering custom packaging for the first time
• Startups building brand identity on a realistic budget
• Short-run campaigns for seasonal menus or limited edition packaging
• Multi-location brands testing a new product format before scaling

Some products — such as hot coffee cups in single-wall format — have higher minimums (30,000–50,000 pcs) due to printing press constraints. Our team will confirm the exact MOQ for your chosen product during the consultation.

Eco-Certifications: What They Mean for Your Brand

Sustainability claims in packaging are only as credible as the certifications behind them. Here's what KimEcopak's custom packaging is certified to — and what each certification means for your business:

FSC Chain of Custody
Paper-based products (kraft boxes, napkins, wooden cutlery) sourced from responsibly managed forests. Relevant for brands communicating responsible sourcing to customers.

BRCGS Global Standard for Packaging Materials
Food safety certification for the manufacturing environment. Required by many retail and foodservice procurement teams in Canada.

OK Compost INDUSTRIAL
Packaging breaks down in commercial composting facilities — relevant for Canadian cities with municipal organics collection (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montréal, and others).

OK Compost HOME
A higher standard: breakdown in a backyard home compost setting. KimEcopak's sugarcane straws and water-based cup coatings carry this certification.

DIN CERTCO
German certification body recognised internationally and accepted by Canadian compostable facility operators.

ISO 9001:2015
Manufacturing quality management standard — consistency across production runs.

Certification documentation is available on request for every product — useful for compliance records, retail partnerships, and customer-facing sustainability claims.

What is the minimum order for custom packaging?

KimEcopak's custom packaging starts at 5,000 pieces per SKU for most products, including cups, boxes, bags, and bowls. Some products (such as large-format coffee cups) have higher minimums due to printing press requirements. Your packaging specialist will confirm the exact MOQ for your chosen product during the initial consultation.

Is there custom packaging with no minimum or very low quantity?

Custom logo printing always involves a minimum quantity to cover plate/setup costs and make per-unit pricing viable. KimEcopak's low MOQ from 5,000 pcs is one of the lowest available from a custom packaging supplier in Canada. For businesses that need quantities below 5,000 pcs, we can advise on stock packaging with custom sticker labelling as an interim solution.
