Review OEM / ODMFrequently asked questions
Questions to resolve before sampling
Can retail bags carry custom branding?
Yes. Artwork and print coverage can be developed after the bag structure and environmental wording are approved.
How should load performance be specified?
Use a representative filled-bag test with an agreed load, carrying time and acceptance criteria.
Does compostable mean the bag can be littered?
No. Compostability claims describe controlled end-of-life conditions and do not justify littering.
Can pack count be customized?
Bundle, inner-pack and carton quantities can be configured for checkout and warehouse workflows.
