Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Pack Printers manufactures pharmaceutical-grade 5ml vial boxes that align with GMP packaging guidelines and support FDA and EU regulatory labeling compliance. Our SBS and coated board materials are sourced from certified suppliers appropriate for pharmaceutical packaging applications. The exterior print surface accommodates all required regulatory text elements including product name, active ingredients, batch number, expiry date, manufacturer details, and health and safety warnings. We recommend consulting your regulatory and compliance team to confirm specific requirements for your product category before finalizing your packaging specification.
For 5ml glass vials, we strongly recommend die-cut EVA or polyurethane foam inserts as the primary protection solution. The narrow diameter of 5ml vials (16mm to 21mm) makes them particularly vulnerable to lateral movement and tip-over inside a box without a precision-fit insert. Our foam inserts are engineered to the exact external diameter and total height including cap of your specific vial, providing full circumference contact that completely eliminates movement and absorbs impact forces. For luxury applications, foam inserts can be paired with a velvet or satin lining for a premium interior finish. For eco-conscious brands, molded pulp inserts offer a sustainable alternative. Explore the full range on our custom vial boxes with inserts page.
Yes, and sampler set packaging is one of our most popular 5ml vial box formats. We produce duo, trio, 6-vial, and larger set boxes with precision-cut inserts that hold each vial individually and securely in its own compartment. These configurations are widely used by fragrance brands for travel perfume collections, skincare brands for concentrated serum discovery sets, and essential oil brands for therapeutic blend samplers. The outer box is fully customizable from a clean kraft carton with single-color logo print to a premium rigid box with soft-touch lamination, gold foil stamping, and velvet interior lining.
Minimum order quantities for custom 5ml vial boxes start from 100 units for digitally printed folding carton formats making branded packaging accessible for new brands, sampling campaigns, and boutique launches. For offset-printed runs and rigid box formats with inserts, minimums typically start at 500 units. Standard production lead times range from 8 to 15 business days after artwork approval for folding cartons, and 14 to 20 business days for rigid formats with inserts and premium finishing. For high-volume requirements, visit our vial packaging wholesale page for bulk pricing tiers and dedicated production scheduling options.
Yes. Many brands use multiple vial sizes across their product range for example, 5ml vials for travel and sample formats alongside 10ml vial packaging for their core retail line, or 3ml vial packaging for micro-sample promotional campaigns. Pack Printers handles multi-size vial box orders as a single coordinated production project, with each size variant produced to its own precise specification and delivered together on a consolidated schedule. Combined order quantities across all sizes may also unlock higher wholesale pricing tiers speak to our team for a multi-size quote.
