We know reliable timelines are important for your business.

Here’s a clear breakdown: Production Time + Shipping Time = Turnaround Time

Important Notes for a Smooth Process:

  • Quality First, Always: Timelines provided are only estimates. Every order goes through rigorous quality control to ensure your labels are perfect. While we aim for our estimated dates, sometimes unforeseen issues on the press might require a free reprint. If this happens, it will add to the overall production time, but we promise to keep you informed every step of the way.
  • Your Timeline Starts When You’re Happy: Your estimated turnaround time officially begins once your final artwork is approved by you. This means you’ve given us the green light after any revisions and proofing.

Generally, digital printing takes a bit faster to complete than gravure printing. Typical times to complete orders are:

  • DIGITAL PRINTING: 20-22 days (17-19 days print production, QC, packaging + 3-4 days shipping)
  • GRAVURE PRINTING: 30 days (1 week to prepare cylinders + 27-29 print production, QC, packaging + 3-4 days shipping)

Preserve Product Freshness with Performance-Driven Packaging

Your custom food bags and pouches do more than hold your product, they protect it from spoilage, extend shelf life, and influence purchasing decisions.

You’ve made a smart decision by investing in high-quality, reliable food packaging bags.

To fully maximize their performance, it’s important to understand how materials like multi-layer film laminates and barrier properties work to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.

From managing oxygen transmission rates (OTR) to selecting the right seal type or adding a window for visibility, each choice impacts how your product performs, on the shelf and with your customers.

Here are a few practical tips to help you get the best results from your custom food bags and pouches.

ALWAYS AIM FOR A HEARTY IMPACT

Design with Purpose: Build Packaging That Connects

To create food packaging that resonates, it takes more than great design.

This endeavor must take insight from every angle of your business.

Here’s how you can approach your custom bag project with intention and impact:

1. Gather Cross-Team Insights

Consult your product development team, customer service reps, salespeople, and graphic designer.

Each team brings unique knowledge about your customers’ preferences, feedback, and product usage. Their input can help shape packaging that informs, appeals, and performs.

2. Identify Customer-Centric Features

Think about what your customers want to know at a glance:

  • Clear serving sizes?
  • Ingredient sourcing?
  • Storage or reuse tips?
  • Recipes or pairing suggestions?

These small details, when built into your bag’s layout, add real value and build trust.

3. Map Packaging to Real-Life Use

Visualize how your product fits into your customer’s daily or weekly food rituals.

Is it part of a quick breakfast? A weekend treat? A pantry staple?

Designing with these use moments in mind helps your packaging feel personal and intuitive.

4. Get Creative, Stay Strategic

Custom bags offer endless creative potential.

You can do unique shapes, finishes, colors, and layouts with our presses.

Use them to tell a compelling brand story while keeping messaging clear, useful, and emotionally resonant.

SHARING IS CARING, ESPECIALLY WITH FOOD!

Turn Every Bag Into a Conversation

With food, trust is everything.

Give your customers the information they need (and the confidence they crave) right on your custom food packaging they hold in their hands.

Our variable data printing service allows you to print a series of custom food bags where each one is unique.

From batch-specific details to rotating content, this lets you personalize at scale, with no extra effort.

Want to build deeper engagement? Add a QR code that links to:

  • Your brand story or sourcing transparency
  • Recipes or serving suggestions
  • A feedback form or loyalty program
  • Nutritional info updates or certifications

Why limit your calls to action to your website?

Your packaging is already in your customer’s hands—make it work harder.

This is more than a bag. It’s your storytelling, quality assurance, and customer connection tool, all in one.

GO FOR “VIEW WINDOWS” FOR FRESHNESS GUARANTEED

Show What Sets You Apart

While fully opaque bags offer excellent protection and shelf presence, adding a clear window gives customers an instant look at what matters most, which is your food product’s natural freshness and prime quality.

In markets where transparency builds trust, a see-through window is more than a design feature. This can be a proof of your product’s integrity.

Choose from a range of custom window shapes and placements to create packaging that not only protects, but also sells itself at first glance.

We’re excited to bring your custom food pouches to life!

To help our Prepress Team ensure your artwork is flawless and to avoid any delays, please prepare your files with these important guidelines.


Your File Preparation Checklist for Your Custom Food Packaging

  • Preferred File Type: Layered .PDF: This allows our team to easily check and report any potential issues. (We can also work with .TIFF, .EPS, .PSD, and .AI files – just pay extra attention to the points below.)
  • Text Accuracy is Key: Please proofread all text for typos and grammatical errors. We want your message to be perfect, and we don’t alter your original text files.
  • CMYK for Vivid Prints: Set your images, objects, and overall file color mode to CMYK. This is essential for vibrant digital printing.
  • Add a 3mm Bleed: Crucial for professional-looking edges, remember to add a 3mm bleed on all sides.
  • High-Resolution Images: For crisp, clear custom food bags and custom food pouches, ensure all raster images are at least 350dpi.
  • Visible Lines: Your lines should be a minimum of .57pt or 0.2mm thick to print clearly.
  • Confirm Dimensions: We print your custom food bags to any size, so please double-check your artwork dimensions upfront. This helps us get to proofing faster.
  • Clean PDF Export: When exporting your PDF, do not include any printer’s crop marks or registration marks.
  • Outline Your Fonts: Always outline all fonts to prevent any font-related issues during production.
  • Double Check Bleed Settings: If you use a bleed, make sure your file has the correct bleed settings.
Naoko Tsunoda - Key To Teas ★★★★★ (Sep 18, 2020)

Excellent printing company and services! Ordered custom pouches (6 colors, 3 sizes) and tissue (2 sizes) from them. As a start-up co. I did so much research on product, quality, graphics and couldn't be more happy of the Final Quality received, their competitive price (trust me I did my thorough research -even one of the largest US label/bag companies prints in Taiwan which is where this co. prints as well) and top-notch customer service. Starting from receiving initial samples via Int'l FedEx (received in 48 hrs. since requested), receiving quotes, templates...lots of back and forth regarding custom graphics but I don't think there's any company who could translate graphics in one go, and their CS team is located in the Philippines which I leveraged to my full advantage (*as I work after US 9-5pm Hours and they're awake) Definitely will re-order and contemplating on moving forward with their labels which seems like their core product to begin with.

Renée Volchko ★★★★★ (Jul 18, 2020)

I have contacted many printing places for labels and packaging. Inkable Label was BY FAR the BEST customer service I've had. Not to mention their costs were the lowest I could find! To top it off, and what completely blew me away, was the quality of the product! We have so many people say how they love the packaging for our Super Salad Bar, I can not thank this company enough. We will be lifetime customers, as they have given us so much value already. If you are considering using this company for the first time, you will not be disappointed. I have to imagine it could very well have been one of the smartest business decisions we've made to-date! Thank you!

Lisa Holtz ★★★★★ (Apr 1, 2020)

Excellent pricing and quality, We were very pleased with how our pouches turned out. Highly recommended

Jessica Cormier ★★★★★ (Mar 6, 2020)

Fast communication and very helpful. We received our bags for Buster's Bark and they look great, thank you!

Joshua H. ★★★★☆ (Aug 20, 2018)

I expected the printed colors to be brighter than what I received. Inkable Label Co. rectified the situation and we adjusted based on the hard proof and the color swatches they sent from their CMYK book. Didn't know screen color was tricky. Overall very happy with the final results.
