Custom Printed Packaging

Product Overview

AISUNBIO's custom printed packaging service, also commonly known as biodegradable plastic bags or biodegradable bags, is tailored for brands that cannot find suitable packaging solutions in standard formats. Whether you need an unusual bag shape, specific size, unique closure method, or printing with special colour effects and surface finishes, our in-house design team can develop fully bespoke solutions aligned with your brand requirements. We provide end-to-end support from the initial brief stage to final production drawings, ensuring every detail of your packaging meets your expectations. All our custom printed packaging uses compostable printing inks, and every element of the pack is certifiable, with full certification scope documentation provided to support retailer audits. We also offer full artwork proofing services, including digital colour proofs and physical pre-production samples, to eliminate errors before full production begins. Custom orders carry the same certification scope as our standard product range, ensuring consistent compliance for all your packaging needs.

End-to-end Design & Production Support

Our in-house design team works closely with your team throughout the entire custom packaging development process, starting from your initial brief. We first conduct a detailed assessment of your packaging requirements, including functional needs, brand positioning, and application scenarios, to develop a clear structural specification and print layout. We offer flexible customisation options for handles, closures, gussets, and perforations, allowing you to create packaging that perfectly fits your product and brand identity. After the initial design draft is completed, we provide a free digital colour proof to help you verify the layout, colour matching, and structural design. Once the digital proof is approved, we produce a physical pre-production sample within 7 days, which allows you to test the packaging's functionality, feel, and print quality in real-world conditions. This two-step proofing process ensures that all details are confirmed before full production begins, reducing the risk of errors and rework. After artwork sign-off, our production team completes the full production run within 20 to 30 days, with lead times varying slightly based on the complexity of your custom design.

Our custom printed packaging is available in a wide range of base materials, structures, print methods, and surface finishes to meet diverse brand and application needs. For base materials, we offer PBAT + PLA blends, corn starch blends, and PCR polyethylene / PE / PCR / RECYCLE materials, all of which are fully compostable or recyclable to support sustainable brand goals. For print methods, we provide flexographic printing with up to 10 colours, or gravure printing with up to 12 colours, allowing you to achieve vibrant, high-quality print results for your brand artwork.

Our available structures include flat bags, gusseted bags, stand-up pouches, mailer bags, and die-cut shape bags, giving you the flexibility to choose the perfect structure for your product. For surface finishes, we offer matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination options, allowing you to create the desired tactile and visual effect for your packaging.

Industry Pain Points Solved

1. Solves the problem of standard packaging formats not meeting unique brand or product needs: Many brands struggle to find standard packaging that fits their unusual product shapes, specific size requirements, or unique functional needs, and our fully bespoke design service eliminates this limitation.
2. Eliminates colour inconsistency issues: Inaccurate colour matching is a common problem in custom packaging, which can damage brand identity, and our Pantone and custom spot colour matching service ensures consistent, accurate brand colours across every batch.
3. Reduces compliance risks for sustainable brands: Many compostable packaging products lack proper certification, which can lead to compliance issues with retailers or regulatory bodies, and our full certification scope documentation ensures all custom packaging meets required sustainability standards.
4. Reduces costly production errors: Without proper proofing, custom packaging production can lead to errors in design, print, or functionality that are costly to fix, and our two-step proofing process (digital proof + physical sample) eliminates this risk by allowing you to verify all details before full production.
5. Reduces supply chain complexity: Coordinating with multiple suppliers for design, printing, and production can be time-consuming and prone to miscommunication, and our end-to-end in-house support streamlines the entire process, from brief to production, reducing administrative burden for your team.
