  • Professional appearance: Custom printed packaging signals quality and attention to detail

  • Retail-ready: No need for additional labels or stickers - save time and money
  • Compliance: Print required warnings, allergen info, and legal text right on the packaging

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order for custom poly bags?

Most custom poly bags have a 500-piece minimum, which is far lower than the 10,000-piece minimums many printers require. Some specialty sizes or configurations run 1,000 to 2,500 pieces, so contact us for the exact minimum on your bag.

Are custom poly bags food safe?

Yes. Our custom poly bags are printed on FDA-compliant polyethylene that meets food contact regulations, making them safe for direct contact with bakery goods, candy, dried foods, and frozen items.

Can I print on both sides of the bag?

Yes, you can print one side or both sides, in up to 6 colors on clear or white polyethylene film. Two-sided printing adds cost but doubles your branding space.

How long does custom poly bag printing take?

Production takes 2 to 3 weeks after you approve the digital proof. Rush production of 7 to 10 days is available for an additional fee.

What sizes and thicknesses do custom poly bags come in?

Custom poly bags run from 4x6 inches up to 24x36 inches in thicknesses from 1.5 mil to 6 mil, in flat, gusseted, zipper, header, and bottom-seal styles. Standard sizes such as 6x9, 9x12, and 12x15 inches save on tooling costs, while custom dimensions require a one-time plate fee.

What artwork file format do you need for custom printing?

Vector files work best: Adobe Illustrator (.AI), EPS, or PDF with outlined fonts. High-resolution JPG or PNG files at 300 DPI minimum are also accepted, and our team can build artwork from your logo for a small fee.

Who uses custom printed poly bags?

Custom poly bags are used by bakeries, candy and coffee producers, apparel and jewelry brands, ecommerce and subscription-box sellers, and industrial shippers packaging parts, hardware, and medical supplies. Any business that hands a product to a customer can turn the bag into branding.
