Custom Packaging Made-to-Order Packaging | The Pouch People

Short Run Custom Digitally Printed Packaging

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.

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 People. We offer A to Z custom packaging solutions. Whether you need coffee pouches or bags for your protein powder, our team has you covered.

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. Just tell us how many you need and how many designs you have. We will 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. However, you cannot use them for product testing. To ensure that you get the best and most appropriate designs, we can provide packaging mockups. Alternatively, we can send you a range of previous samples so you can see if our packaging suits your products.

Versatile Designs

We have the resources to support any design you want. Clients can choose from our CMYK+W colour spectrum, matt or gloss finishing, and soft or rough-touch lamination. Our goal is to provide packaging that perfectly represents your brand.

Transparent Breakdowns

Never worry about hidden costs again! Our team charges predictable, linear rates. We don’t even charge for artwork set-up or cylinder costs due to printing with digital!

Multiple SKU Printing

We can run multiple same-size SKUs simultaneously. This feature allows us to print all of your different, custom bags and pouches at the same time despite having different product flavours or types.

Fast Turnaround

Our team manufactures all custom pouches locally to avoid delays while supporting local Australian manufacturing. We’ll have your packaging ready as fast as possible.

Want more Eco-Friendly Packaging?

Ask about our more sustainable packaging solutions. Apart from the standard plastic packaging, we also have home-compostable and single-polymer films. These can provide you with more eco-friendly product packaging.

Securing the Best Custom-Printed Packaging for Your Brand

Relevance plays a crucial role in printing and designing custom pouches. Remember: no two business owners share the exact packaging needs. Blindly copying your competitors does more harm than good. Utilise everything that the industry offers to create custom packaging for your products.

What are you packing and how much?

Decide on the number of custom packages you need to order first. Printing your orders in small batches might increase your overhead costs in the long run. As such, prepare enough bags and pouches for a few months in advance

What sort of pouch do you require?

Use packaging materials that support your products. For example: jerky business owners can use high barrier custom pouches built for perishable goods. Meanwhile, coffee companies can look into kraft paper resealable bags.

How is your product being filled?

Certain products might need specialised valves or reseal zippers. Perishables like coffee beans and protein powder will go bad if you expose them to external elements.

Which size pouch fits your product?

Packaging comes in different sizes. We recommend size trialling prior to placing your order.

How many pouches are you after?

As we mentioned, printing pouches in small batches will typically cost more. Consolidate your orders to get the best pricing.

Do you have multiple designs?

Printing different colour patterns and designs is easily achievable with digital print packaging. Advise us on how many designs you need printed, and we can quote accordingly.

What sort of finish were you looking for?

The finish you choose has a significant effect on the overall aesthetic of your products. If you want a clean, minimalist vibe, opt for matt finish pouches. Alternatively, brands can convey an eco-friendly look with durability and security with a kraft paper look design.

Would you like a metalized film or clear film?

Keep your products fresh with metal films. This feature best suits food items like cured meat, roasted coffee beans, and fresh tea leaves.

Do you want a product window?

Add a window to your packaging so customers can quickly identify the products you sell. Windows can be any size, shape, or location for our custom print packaging - just leave the artwork blank where you’d like the window to go!

Do you want a zipper closure and/or hang hole?

Customise you're packaging for easy storing and usage. Zipper closures keep your products fresh, while hang holes make product storage simpler.

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