About CrateBee

A packaging factory that works at small-brand scale.

Yuelian Packaging (Shenzhen Yuelian Global Technology Co., Ltd.) produces custom paper boxes, flexible pouches, labels and gift boxes for startups and growing brands in Europe and North America.

We keep order quantities low, sampling fast, and communication direct - you talk with the people who run your production, from the first dieline to the final shipment.

Our story

Built to make custom packaging simple for small brands.

We started as a sourcing team in Shenzhen helping overseas small brands buy printed packaging, and kept seeing the same problem: factories wanted big orders, and small buyers got unclear answers.

So CrateBee built its own production and service flow around low MOQs, free dielines, 3-5 day sampling, and one contact person who follows your project from quote to delivery.

How we work

Four principles for working with small brands.

These principles shape every quote, sample and shipment we handle.

01

Clear before clever

Every quote lists material, structure, print and cost in plain language, so there are no surprises later.

02

Right material, right budget

We recommend the most cost-effective material that still meets your standard, not the priciest one we stock.

03

One contact person

The person who answers your first message follows your order through sampling, production and shipping.

04

Small orders treated seriously

A 500-pc order runs on the same production line and gets the same inspection as a 50,000-pc order.

Team

Three teams handle your project end to end, so nothing gets lost between departments.
