Frequently Asked Questions

Flexible packaging refers to materials such as films, laminates, and pouches that are designed to bend, fold, or conform to the shape of the product inside. Common forms include stand-up pouches, flat pouches, roll film, shrink film, and vacuum bags. The primary advantages are reduced material waste, lightweight shipping, and high branding flexibility.

Some flexible packaging formats are recyclable, especially mono-material PE or PP structures. Multilayer laminates with aluminum or mixed plastics are more difficult to recycle. Many brands are transitioning to mono-material recyclable solutions to meet global waste regulations and EPR requirements.

Flexible packaging is typically made from polymers (PE, PET, PA, CPP, BOPP), paper laminates, aluminum foil layers, and barrier coatings such as EVOH. The choice depends on product protection requirements, sealing performance, and sustainability goals.

Barrier levels determine how well packaging protects against oxygen, moisture, UV light, aroma transfer, and microbes. Products such as coffee, pet food, pharmaceutical items, and cosmetics often require high barrier structures (EVOH or foil) to extend shelf life and maintain quality.

Yes, flexible packaging can be customized with digital, gravure, or flexographic printing. Options include matte, gloss, metallic effects, handle cut-outs, windows, resealable zippers, spouts, valves, and tear-strip openings for user convenience.

We offer digital printing for small MOQ and fast sampling, and high-definition gravure or flexographic printing for large production runs. Ink systems include water-based, solvent-based, and eco-friendly alternatives depending on product compliance.

MOQ depends on printing method and structure. Digital printing can start at low minimums (500–2,000 pcs), while rotogravure or flexo production requires larger volumes (10,000–50,000 pcs or more) to offset cylinder or plate costs.

The ideal structure depends on product properties such as oil content, moisture sensitivity, shelf life target, filling process (manual or automatic), transportation environment, and sustainability requirements. We provide technical guidance based on product type and industry standards.

Yes. Rollstock film and premade pouches are compatible with VFFS (vertical form-fill-seal), HFFS (horizontal form-fill-seal), premade pouch machines, and other automated lines. We can adjust film thickness, slip level, friction coefficient, and sealing parameters for your equipment.

Standard lead time is 15–30 days depending on order volume, material complexity, and printing method. Custom packaging with cylinder engraving or large volume may require additional time.

We perform incoming raw material inspections, ink adhesion tests, heat-seal strength tests, drop tests, oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) measurements, and final batch verification before shipment.

Yes. We provide free standard samples for testing. Custom printed or special structure samples may require cost depending on configuration and format.

Flexible packaging is widely used across food and beverage, snacks, pet food, beauty & cosmetics, detergents, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, household goods, agriculture, and e-commerce refill products.

Shelf life varies depending on product and barrier structure. High-barrier lamination with EVOH or foil can extend shelf life significantly for oxygen-sensitive items such as coffee, nuts, and dried foods.

Yes. Special reinforced laminates and spout pouches are designed for sauces, beverages, detergents, gels, baby food, and chemical liquids, offering high sealing strength and puncture resistance.

Store in a clean, dry environment away from heat, direct sunlight, and sharp edges. Recommended storage conditions are 15–30°C with humidity below 65% to ensure optimal sealing performance and material stability prior to filling.

Yes. Options include recyclable air pillows, biodegradable mailers, kraft paper boxes, honeycomb wraps, and compostable films. We aim to reduce plastic usage while maintaining product safety.

Yes. Lightweight, space-efficient solutions like inflatable air cushions and paper-based padding reduce overall shipment weight and volume. This can lead to lower freight charges without compromising protection.

We perform product risk assessments, considering weight, fragility, size, and shipping conditions. Based on the assessment, we recommend optimal packaging combinations such as foam inserts plus tear-strip boxes or honeycomb wrap plus bubble mailers.

Yes. We can print your logo, brand colors, and designs on mailers, boxes, or cushioning materials, providing a premium unboxing experience while protecting the product.

Yes. Air column bags, roll films, and certain foam or paper inserts can be integrated into automated packaging lines. We provide guidance on machine compatibility, speed, and efficiency.

We supply a variety of to-go packaging including biodegradable clamshells, paper bowls, soup containers, takeaway boxes, disposable cutlery, paper bags, cups, and compostable trays suitable for restaurants, cafes, and delivery services.

Yes. All materials are FDA, EU 10/2011, and LFGB compliant, ensuring direct contact with hot or cold foods is safe. We also test for heat resistance, leak prevention, and material integrity.

Absolutely. Our eco-friendly range includes compostable PLA, bagasse sugarcane fiber, recycled kraft paper, water-based coated paper, and recyclable mono-material films designed to reduce plastic waste and carbon footprint.

Yes. We provide full-color digital, flexographic, or gravure printing, and custom embossing or debossing. Logos can be printed on lids, sides, or trays to enhance brand visibility and customer experience.

Yes. Containers are designed to maintain structural integrity for hot soups, noodles, rice dishes, and cold salads or beverages. High-temperature resistance and leak-proof sealing options are available.

We offer multiple capacities (250ml to 1500ml) and formats including round, square, rectangular, and compartment trays. Stackable or nested designs are available for efficient storage and transport.

Many of our products are fully compostable under industrial composting conditions. Some paper and mono-polymer pouches are recyclable. Certification documents (EN 13432, ASTM D6400) can be provided upon request.

Yes. Samples are available to verify fit, durability, printing quality, and compliance with your standards. Custom branded or printed samples may have a nominal fee depending on complexity.
