PACKAGING FAQ
Flexible Packaging FAQs
Practical starting points for comparing flexible packaging formats, materials and project requirements.
How do I choose the right pouch format?
Start with your product type, target pack size, filling process, closure requirements and desired retail presentation. We can help compare suitable structures based on those requirements.
Can you match an existing pouch size?
If you can provide current pouch dimensions, a dieline or a physical reference, the specification can be reviewed to determine a suitable production setup.
Can you support multiple artwork versions or SKUs?
Yes. Multi-SKU and multi-artwork projects can be coordinated based on quantity, pouch format, printing method and artwork requirements.
How do I choose the material structure?
Material structure should be reviewed around the product, target shelf life, filling process, storage conditions and required packaging performance.
Are recyclable material options available?
Recyclable structures may be available depending on pouch format, barrier requirements, printing method and project specifications. Suitable options can be reviewed for the application.
What do you need for preliminary pricing?
Start with your product, approximate quantity, preferred pouch format if known, target dimensions or fill weight, artwork count and any required features such as a zipper, valve, window or spout.
