Shelf-ready pouches that look premium & sell faster

Each stage of production requires machine setup, which makes very small runs expensive per unit. Our MOQ is 5,000 units—you can split across SKUs.

Combination finishes require a selective matt varnish (traditional plate/cylinder printing). Digital runs on a matt or a gloss film for a full-pack finish.

These formats need specialised machinery and extra components fitted during bag-forming. Our current equipment isn’t configured for them.

Changes are fine up to final proof sign-off. Revisions may add time while we redo proofing and setup.

CMYK = Cyan, Magenta, Yellow & Key (Black). Digital printing layers tiny dots of these inks (plus White where needed) to build up your artwork. Up close, any photo is a pattern of coloured dots — your eye blends them into full-colour images.

Yes — we now offer printed kraft paper packaging via our custom service. Talk to us about whether kraft works for your product.

Pricing depends on volume, size, features (zipper, hang hole, etc.) and material structure. Because every job is custom, we quote like most commercial print/manufacturing providers. The more detail you provide, the faster and more accurate your quote will be.

We focus on production and don’t currently offer in-house artwork. We can recommend experienced packaging designers we work with regularly.

Lead times depend on many factors: how quickly artwork is approved, print & lamination scheduling, bag-forming slots, and final QC. With multiple orders in the queue, timing can vary — but once artwork is signed off we can provide a reliable window.

Traditional gravure/flexo presses run at very high speeds with higher MOQs, so setup cost is spread over more units — giving a lower unit price at scale. Digital inks/materials are comparatively dear (think home printer cartridges), and our goods are 100% Australian-made, so we don’t benefit from offshore labour rates.

A small production tolerance (under- or over-run) is normal due to:
- Machine setup and test material
- Items failing strict QC (e.g. early-run seal or print imperfections)
- Film supply variances
We aim to deliver as close as possible to the ordered quantity with minimal waste.

Plate/cylinder printing uses spot inks mixed to exact PMS recipes and applied in dedicated stations — perfect for precise matches. Digital uses CMYK (+ White) to simulate colours. New digital inks (Orange, Green, Violet) can get closer to PMS; let us know if you need these for your job.
