Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have standard sizes or is everything custom?
We have a range of standard sizes that cover most needs with lower MOQs. Custom sizes are available for orders of 500+ pieces (digital) or 5,000+ pieces (plate printing).
How do I know what size fits my product?
Send us your product details (weight, dimensions, density) or a sample. We'll recommend sizes and can send blank pouches for you to test fill before ordering printed versions.
Are dimensions exact or approximate?
Dimensions are nominal with standard manufacturing tolerance of ±1-2mm. Critical applications should account for this variance.
