Frequently asked questions
The questions technical buyers ask us most often. If yours is not here, send it through — a real person answers.

Quoting and ordering
- Why are there no prices on the site?
Because a price without a quantity, a format and a delivery point is a guess. What a line costs depends on volume, packaging, where it is going and how quickly you need it, and publishing a single number would mislead more often than it helped.
Send a request and you get a real price against your actual requirement.
- Do I need an account to request a quote?
No. There is no login and nothing to register. Add what you need to a request list, or describe it in the contact form, and send it.
- Can I request something that is not in the catalogue?
Yes, and it is a normal request rather than an exception. The catalogue shows the categories we work in most often; it is not the limit of what we source. We first assess the requirement against our established partner network, and where no suitable technical or commercial fit exists we may qualify an additional source.
- Is there a minimum order?
It depends on the product and the format, and we will tell you the minimum for your specific request when we quote it rather than quoting a blanket figure that would be wrong for most lines.
- Does Tundra manufacture the products directly?
Products are manufactured, printed, filled or supplied by selected partner facilities. Tundra manages the commercial, specification, approval, documentation and delivery workflow, and stays accountable for the program end to end.
- Do you already have manufacturing and supply partners?
Yes. We maintain established category-specific relationships across flexible packaging, labels and shrink sleeves, private-label manufacturing, ingredients and laboratory supplies. Where the existing network does not fit a requirement, we may qualify an additional source rather than force the requirement into an unsuitable option.
Specification and documentation
- What documentation comes with an order?
Documentation varies by product and intended use. During quotation we confirm the documents applicable to your order, which may include a certificate of analysis, certificate of conformity, safety data sheet, technical data sheet, origin statement, lot traceability, calibration certificate or facility credential. What we confirm at quoting stage is what ships with the order.
- What if I do not know the exact product I need?
That is the common case, and it is fine. Describe the application — what the item has to do, what it has to be compatible with, and what it has to comply with. We work back from the requirement to the specification.
- Will you suggest a lower-cost equivalent?
Where one meets the specification, yes, and we will show the comparison so you can make the call. Where one does not, we will say so rather than quietly substituting it.
Delivery and logistics
- Where do you deliver?
Across Canada and the United States. We coordinate export documentation, freight, customs support and delivery, including on internationally sourced items. Importer-of-record and customs-clearance responsibilities are confirmed for each order based on the destination, product and agreed commercial terms.
- What happens if a lead time moves?
You hear about it from us as soon as we know, not when the delivery fails to arrive. A date that moves early is a scheduling problem; a date that moves late is an outage.
- Who acts as importer of record?
The importer-of-record structure depends on the product, destination, your own requirements and the commercial terms. The responsible party is confirmed before order acceptance rather than assumed.
Private label and packaging
- Do you offer private label?
Yes. We supply products under your own brand, including packaging and labelling. The private label and packaging page covers what is involved.
- What pack formats are available?
Bulk formats such as drums and totes through to retail-ready formats including resealable pouches. Which formats apply depends on the product; we confirm the options when we quote.
- Are pouches and labels produced by the same manufacturer?
Not necessarily. We use specialist manufacturing partners for different packaging technologies — flexible pouches on one, labels and shrink sleeves on another — and coordinate them through one project relationship, so dimensions, artwork, colour expectations and timelines are settled in one place.
