Boxes

[Hope Springs Distillery]

We think we are about to be ready to start distilling -- and we are assembling our packaging suppliers.  For boxes, do you recommend printing them or just labels?  Our distributor recommended not spending a lot of money on the boxes, at least in the beginning.  Second, I cannot seem to find a definitive answer on what the TTB requires on the boxes, and if I need to have them approved.  Any guidance?

Hey and congrats and starting up! I recently had the same questions as you. Check out the CFR links below. Shawn from Hoochware helped me out with this. If you are looking for a management and reporting software, he is the best bang for the buck!! IMHO

Is there any guidance on what "adequate size to be easily read" means?  Is 24 point type big enough?
