Custom Digitally Printed Packaging

If you still label unprinted bags by hand, it’s time for an upgrade. Instead of manually printing and pasting your brand logo, reach out to us at The Pouch Shop. We offer A to Z custom packaging solutions. Whether you need coffee pouches or bags for your protein powder, our team has you covered.

Customers continue to trust us for our commitment to quality.

All bags and pouches are made from scratch. Made-to-order, custom-printed packaging guarantees sizes suited to your artwork and design. Alternatively, unprinted bags only accommodate generic sizes and require labelling for customisation.

QUALITY & SERVICES

Providing Quality, Made-to-Order Custom Packaging and Printing Services

Switching from unprinted to custom packaging can be quite confusing. The various factors involved can feel overwhelming. Apart from creating a unique design, you also have to consider the delivery, budget, and packaging style. Not everyone has insights into the process.

Don’t worry if you find yourself in a similar predicament. We can help! Our team will go above and beyond to streamline your transition by providing:

Small–Medium Volume Production

Our company manufactures custom pouches and bags from just 5000 units. Tell us how many you need and how many designs you have. We’ll also work with you to ensure consistent quality and colours for future orders.

Product Samples

3D blueprints provide a helpful overview of how custom-printed packages look — but can’t be used for product testing. We can provide packaging mockups, or send previous samples so you can assess suitability.

Transparent Breakdowns

Never worry about hidden costs again. We charge predictable, linear rates — no artwork set-up or cylinder costs thanks to digital printing.

Multiple SKU Printing

We can run multiple same-size SKUs simultaneously — print all of your different custom bags and pouches at the same time, even with different flavours or product types.

Fast Turnaround

We manufacture custom pouches locally to avoid delays while supporting Australian manufacturing. We’ll have your packaging ready as fast as possible.

Versatile Designs

We support any design you want. Choose from our CMYK+W colour spectrum, matt or gloss finishing, and soft or rough-touch lamination — all to represent your brand perfectly.

DESIGN CHECKLIST

Securing the Best Custom-Printed Packaging for Your Brand

Relevance plays a crucial role in printing and designing custom pouches. No two businesses have identical needs — copying competitors can backfire. Use what the industry offers to create packaging that fits your product and audience.

Consider these factors when designing custom bags and pouches for your company:

What are you packing & how much?

Decide how many packs you need. Very small batches can raise overheads — plan enough bags and pouches for the next few months.

What sort of pouch do you require?

Match materials to product: jerky needs high-barrier pouches; coffee brands often prefer kraft resealable bags.

How is your product being filled?

Some goods need one-way valves or reseal zippers. Perishables like coffee beans or protein powder degrade when exposed to air.

Which size pouch fits?

Packaging comes in many sizes — we recommend size trialling before placing your order to confirm the best fit.

How many pouches are you after?

Consolidate orders to secure the best pricing. Printing in tiny runs typically costs more per unit.

Do you have multiple designs?

Digital print makes multi-SKU colour and design changes easy. Tell us how many designs you need and we’ll quote accordingly.

What finish are you after?

Finishes shape perception: choose matt for a clean, minimalist vibe; kraft-look for an eco-led, durable aesthetic.

Metalised or clear film?

Metalised films boost freshness — ideal for cured meats, roasted coffee beans and tea leaves. Clear films show off the product.

Add a product window?

Windows help customers identify contents quickly. Any size/shape/location — just leave artwork blank where the window goes.

Zipper closure and/or hang hole?

Zippers support freshness and re-use; hang holes simplify display and storage. Add either or both to suit your use case.
