Bag format is not approved
Handles, gussets, seals, rolls, perforations and closures need to match the actual use.
Format, claims and brand execution
Custom compostable bag OEM programs with controlled claims and packaging
Select bag construction, material option, printing and packing alongside the exact evidence and destination-market wording required for the ordered SKU.
Compostability language must stay within the referenced standard, certificate holder, product code and validated construction. A generic material statement is not enough.
Buyer risk
Attractive artwork cannot compensate for an unverified product specification
Construction, end-of-life wording and evidence are interdependent. Changing film, thickness, adhesive or another component can change what is supportable.
Claims exceed the available documents
“Biodegradable” and “compostable” are not interchangeable and local collection rules differ.
Closure or component specifications are incomplete
Ink, adhesive, drawstrings and other components may need review within the complete product claim.
Supporting documents chain
Keep every claim within the ordered SKU document scope
Qualification is strongest when each step can be checked against a controlled record.

Buyer questions
Questions worth resolving before the purchase order
The exact answer still depends on the SKU, destination and approved commercial brief.
Can an existing certificate be used for any custom bag?
No. Certificate holder, product code, material, thickness range, components and validity must be checked against the ordered SKU.
Can compostable bags carry a custom logo?
Yes. Printing can be developed after the bag construction and supportable environmental wording are agreed.
Are all components automatically covered by the film evidence?
No. Closures, adhesives, inks or other components may require review. The finished construction should not be inferred from the base film alone.
What should a sample test cover?
Test dimensions, opening, carrying or sealing action, load or contents, perforation if used, print proof and pack presentation.
