I got stuff done in China (drawer boxes 2@ 1000 units). Nothing too crazy amazing, and didn’t have a huge amount of control over the paperstock etc, but it worked out pretty well. Shipping was slow boat (boat to US, the Fedex from CA to NY), and cost about $400 for 11(?) pretty big boxes. I got samples made up beforehand, from my dielines and that including FedEx was about $120 for 2 pieces (2 sizes)
Maybe overkill for what you need, but I was surprised at how inexpensive it all was and how quickly it arrived post fabrication (~45 days?)
