Please provide the product contents, intended application, package type, dimensions or filling capacity, preferred material structure, required functions, printing colors, artwork status, order quantity, destination country, and requested delivery date. If the material structure is unknown, our team can recommend one based on the product and shelf-life requirements.
Yes. We can recommend a structure based on the contents, barrier requirements, filling process, storage temperature, shelf life, transportation conditions, target market, and recycling goals. An initial solution can normally be proposed within 48 hours after sufficient project information is received.
Custom options include dimensions, thickness, material structure, printing, zipper closures, spouts, tear notches, hanging holes, transparent windows, easy-peel seals, resealable features, and special shapes. Some accessories or special shapes may require tooling.
There is no single MOQ for every product. It depends on the material, dimensions, printing method, number of designs, pouch type, and required accessories. Digital printing may be considered for some small-batch or proofing projects because it does not require printing plates.
Regular orders generally take 15–20 working days. The final lead time depends on material availability, production quantity, printing requirements, pouch complexity, and accessories. It should be confirmed when the order specifications are finalized.
Yes. The suitable proofing method depends on whether the customer needs to verify dimensions, material, structure, printing color, or finished-pouch functionality. The sample method, cost, and lead time are confirmed for each project.
Customers should provide Pantone color codes or physical color samples. A proof can be prepared for confirmation before mass production, and an agreed color standard can be used for production control.
Please provide editable, high-resolution artwork and clearly identify Pantone colors, barcodes, QR codes, regulatory text, transparent areas, and any variable information. The dieline, bleed, safe area, sealing area, and accessory position should be confirmed against the final package dimensions.
Yes. Roll width, repeat length, core size, winding direction, sealing layer, coefficient of friction, and other machine-related parameters can be matched to the filling and sealing equipment. Customers should provide the packaging-machine specifications when possible.
Available materials include PE, MDOPE, BOPE, BOPP, CPP, PA/nylon, EVOH co-extrusion films, vacuum-metallized films, aluminum foil laminates, high-barrier films, heat-sealable films, easy-peel films, anti-fog films, and coated barrier films.
PE, or polyethylene film, is a lightweight and flexible plastic film widely used as a sealing or inner contact layer. Depending on the grade and structure, it can provide moisture resistance, toughness, low-temperature performance, and heat-sealing properties.
MDOPE is machine-direction-oriented polyethylene film. Orientation improves stiffness, strength, dimensional stability, and printability compared with conventional PE. It is commonly used as an outer layer in all-PE recyclable packaging structures.
BOPE is biaxially oriented polyethylene film. It combines high strength, puncture resistance, transparency, and moisture resistance and can help build mono-PE recyclable packaging structures.
BOPP is biaxially oriented polypropylene film. It offers good transparency, gloss, stiffness, moisture resistance, and printability. Depending on the application, it may be laminated with a separate heat-sealing layer.
CPP is cast polypropylene film. It is soft, impact-resistant, and heat-sealable, making it a common inner layer in laminated packaging. Available variants include lamination-grade, retort, low-temperature sealing, inflatable, and metallized CPP films.
A high-barrier film is designed to reduce the transmission of oxygen, water vapor, aroma, oil, or light. Barrier performance may be achieved with aluminum foil, metallized layers, EVOH, PA, PVA coatings, or multi-layer composite structures.
Two key indicators are oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). Lower values generally indicate stronger oxygen and moisture barriers. The target values should be selected according to the contents and required shelf life.
A vacuum-metallized film is a plastic film with a thin aluminum layer deposited on its surface under vacuum. It provides metallic appearance and improved barrier performance while remaining lighter and more flexible than solid aluminum foil.
Metallized film uses a very thin deposited aluminum layer and offers a balance of appearance, barrier performance, flexibility, and cost. Aluminum foil provides a much stronger light, oxygen, and moisture barrier but usually requires lamination with plastic films for strength and heat sealing.
Typical examples include BOPP/PE for economical moisture-resistant packaging, PET/VMPET/PE for metallic appearance and higher barrier, PET/AL/CPP for light protection and high-temperature applications, and PET/AL/PA/CPP for high toughness, puncture resistance, and retort applications.
Heat-sealing performance is the ability of a film to bond under controlled heat and pressure. Seal initiation temperature, seal strength, sealing window, and contamination resistance can affect packing-line efficiency and package integrity. PE and CPP are common sealing-layer materials.
Please specify the material or structure, thickness, width, roll diameter, core size, winding direction, treatment side, color or transparency, printing requirements, application, and special properties such as barrier, anti-static, retort, freezer, easy-peel, or recyclable performance.
Store rolls indoors in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, low temperatures, and moisture. Keep the rolls in their original protective packaging and use first-in, first-out inventory control. Nylon-containing films require particular protection from humidity.
Possible causes include insufficient surface treatment, declining surface tension, unsuitable ink, incomplete drying, excessive winding tension, or excessive temperature. Film surface treatment and production parameters should be verified before printing.
Available directions include Mono PE and Mono PP structures, such as MDOPE/PE, BOPE/PE, and compatible PP-based structures such as BOPP/CPP. The final structure depends on barrier, sealing, mechanical, printing, and target-market recycling requirements.
The structure can use oriented PE or PP films for strength, compatible sealing layers, and functional barrier coatings or co-extruded layers. Each project must balance OTR, WVTR, sealing, puncture resistance, shelf life, and the recycling rules of the destination market.
Novel Packaging presents development work involving materials such as PLA and PBAT and can discuss degradable packaging bags, rollstock, and raw materials. Compostability, degradation conditions, and certification claims must be confirmed for the selected material and target market before ordering.
No. Actual recyclability depends on the material structure, labels, inks, adhesives, product residue, local collection systems, sorting facilities, and applicable regulations. The disposal claim should therefore be verified for the destination market.
Available formats include 3-side seal pouches, stand-up pouches, flat-bottom pouches, quad-seal pouches, spout pouches, dual-chamber pouches, special-shaped pouches, aluminum foil pouches, vacuum pouches, kraft pouches, transparent pouches, zipper pouches, and other resealable formats.
The structure depends on the product. Common options include PET/PE, BOPP/PE, PA/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, and PET/AL/PE or CPP. The selected structure should match the barrier, sealing, puncture, temperature, and appearance requirements.
Stand-up pouches provide upright shelf display, a large printable area, low packaging weight, and convenient features such as zippers, spouts, windows, and tear notches. They can be configured for dry, powdered, liquid, or semi-liquid products.
A flat-bottom pouch has a stable box-like base and multiple printable panels. It provides strong shelf presence, efficient internal volume, and good packing and transportation efficiency for products such as coffee, snacks, and pet food.
Quad-seal pouches use four reinforced sealing edges to create a stable three-dimensional pack. Their front, back, and side panels provide extensive printing space, making them suitable for pet food, heavier products, and premium dry goods.
Options include standard corner-spout pouches, angled-spout pouches, flat or wide-spout pouches for viscous products, and spout pouches combined with zipper closures. The spout size, position, cap, color, and pouch structure can be selected for the contents and filling method.
Spout pouches are commonly used for beverages, sauces, purees, baby food, oils, detergents, personal-care products, and certain powders. The structure should be selected according to viscosity, acidity, filling temperature, barrier needs, and cap compatibility.
A dual-chamber pouch separates two components during storage and allows them to be mixed or dispensed when required. The central isolation seal is designed to prevent premature contact while supporting the intended activation method.
Special-shaped pouches are used when strong visual differentiation or a product-specific shape is required. They are common in confectionery, snacks, beverages, personal care, promotional packaging, and children’s products. Accurate die cutting, registration, and complex-edge sealing are essential.
Aluminum foil pouches provide excellent protection against oxygen, water vapor, light, aroma loss, and external odor. Laminated structures also provide strength and heat sealing. They are suitable for sensitive foods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and long-shelf-life products.
Selection should consider the product shape, oil or acid content, puncture risk, required shelf life, sterilization conditions, and transparency. Common structures include PA/PE for general vacuum packing, PA/EVOH/PE for transparent high barrier, and aluminum-containing structures for light-sensitive or retort products.
They are used when high barrier and reliable airtight sealing are required, including food ingredients, pharmaceuticals, medical products, electronics, chemicals, and moisture-sensitive powders. The inner PE or CPP layer enables heat sealing.
Kraft paper can be combined with functional plastic films to create flat pouches, stand-up pouches, zipper pouches, window pouches, and high-barrier kraft structures. The laminate provides sealing and protection while the paper surface gives a natural appearance.
Resealable pouches normally use multi-layer films that balance printability, barrier performance, toughness, and heat sealing. A zipper, slider, spout, or other closure is added according to the product and expected number of opening cycles.
Consider whether full visibility or a partial window is required, then evaluate oxygen and moisture barrier, UV sensitivity, puncture resistance, shelf life, sealing, and filling conditions. Transparent high-barrier structures may use EVOH or coated films.
Novel Packaging supports gravure and flexographic printing. Digital printing may be considered for some sampling, small-batch, or variable-data projects. The best process depends on quantity, artwork, substrate, color requirements, and budget.
Key controls include substrate surface tension, artwork and plate verification, Pantone or physical color standards, registration, ink adhesion, drying, residual odor, winding tension, and batch consistency. A proof should be approved before mass production.
Checks can include dimensions, appearance, printing and registration, lamination, seal strength, leakage, zipper or spout function, film thickness, coefficient of friction, barrier performance, puncture resistance, and application-specific retort, freezer, or vacuum tests.
Food-contact materials can be supplied with relevant FDA- and EU-related test reports or compliance documents according to the selected structure. The exact document package should be confirmed for the product and destination market.
Company materials list ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 22000, BRC Grade A, AEO certification, and a GMP-compliant Class 100,000 clean workshop. Certification scope and current validity should be verified against the latest certificates when required for an order.
Pet-food packaging normally requires moisture, oxygen, aroma, oil, and puncture resistance. Flat-bottom, quad-seal, stand-up, and zipper pouches are common. High-barrier laminates or recyclable mono-material structures can be selected according to product type and shelf life.
Pharmaceutical packaging should consider barrier performance, compatibility, safety, sealing integrity, sterilization, mechanical strength, traceability, and the regulatory requirements of the destination market. The final structure must be evaluated and validated for the specific medicine or device.
Cosmetics commonly use laminated structures selected for chemical resistance, barrier, puncture resistance, appearance, and sealing. Facial-mask sachets often use PET, nylon, aluminum foil, CPP, PE, or transparent high-barrier layers to protect the formula from oxygen, moisture, and light.
Milk-powder packaging requires strong moisture, oxygen, light, odor, and contamination protection. Common structures include BOPP/VMPET/PE and PET/AL/PE, often with a zipper or other reclosure for repeated use.
Frozen-food packaging should resist puncture, low-temperature brittleness, dehydration, oxidation, and seal failure. PA/PE, PA/EVOH/PE, and other high-strength barrier structures may be used depending on vacuum, freezer, and shelf-life requirements.
Spout pouches and rollstock are common choices. The structure and spout should be selected according to viscosity, acidity, oil content, filling temperature, drop resistance, barrier requirements, and chemical compatibility.
These products generally require moisture, oxygen, aroma, and light protection. Stand-up, flat-bottom, quad-seal, zipper, and aluminum-barrier pouches are common. Coffee packaging may also include a one-way degassing valve.
Retort structures such as PET/AL/CPP or NY/AL/RCPP can be designed for sterilization at 121°C–135°C. The exact structure must match the product, sterilization program, filling process, sealing equipment, and expected shelf life.
