Tell us what you pack and on which machine. A packaging engineer will get back to you within 24 hours on working days.
MOQ depends on the product, the material structure, the size and the printing – a printed laminated pouch and a plain co-extruded vacuum bag run on different lines. Tell us what you need and we confirm the MOQ together with your quotation. If your volume is small, ask anyway: we will tell you openly what is possible.
The food you pack, its storage or heating conditions (chilled, frozen, cooked in the pack), the bag or film type and size, the thickness or structure if you know it, printing requirements, the estimated quantity and unit, and the packaging machine you use. “Not sure” is a fine answer – our engineers can propose a structure. Send an inquiry.
Lead time depends on the structure, whether new printing cylinders or plates are needed, the order quantity and the production schedule at the time of order. Once structure, size, printing and quantity are confirmed, we give you a delivery date with the quotation or order confirmation – share your target date early so we can plan for it.
Yes, we provide samples for evaluation. Whether they come from existing stock or are made to your size, and how freight is handled, depends on the product and on the quantity needed for a meaningful trial. We confirm the arrangement with you before anything is sent.
Tell us the machine type and model – chamber vacuum, thermoformer, VSP, flow-wrap or form-fill-seal – and the settings you use today. Our recommendation is a first proposal; we confirm it with samples tested on your own machine before production.
Size, thickness, material structure (PA, PE, PP, EVOH or PVDC layers), bag format (flat, 3-side seal, stand-up, zipper, spout, shrink bag or rollstock) and printing – gravure or flexo, 3 to 11 colours. Vacuum bags and roll bags can also be embossed. Not every option suits every product, so our engineers confirm what works for yours.
Yes. Send your artwork (vector AI or PDF preferred) and colour references. We check it against the bag or film size and the printing process and send you a proof to approve before production starts.
Technical data sheets are available on request for every product – see Downloads. Our in-house lab tests tensile and seal strength, puncture, shrinkage and barrier; test reports for your specific structure can be provided with samples or orders. Copies of our certificates (BRC, ISO 9001, Halal) are available on request.
These are the questions we are asked most. The full list covers ordering, samples and trials, customisation and documents.
