How we evaluate advent calendar packaging

We evaluate packaging the way a factory quotes it. Every case in our library is broken down by box structure, implied board and thickness, finishing processes, and the weak points that would surface in mass production.

We never invent specifications. When a brand's page doesn't publish dimensions or materials, we say so. A manufacturer that guesses on a blog will guess on your purchase order.

Our library is refreshed every September–October, ahead of the Christmas sourcing season. Structures, prices and processes track the current retail year.

Every case page states what we could verify — price, structure, processes — and marks the rest as not published.
