Custom Sandwich Bags

1. What materials are used for custom sandwich bags?

Custom sandwich bags are typically made from food-grade paper (kraft paper, grease-proof paper), or sometimes lightweight biodegradable materials. Finishes may include coatings to resist oil or moisture, depending on your needs.

2. Can I customize the design and logo on these bags?

Yes — you can add your logo, brand name, slogan, or other artwork. Many suppliers offer full-color printing on one or both sides of the bag.

3. What sizes are available for sandwich bags?

Sizes vary according to supplier, but common sizes include small, medium, and large sandwich sizes. Custom dimensions are often possible if you need something special.

4. What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order quantity (MOQ) depends on printing and material setup costs. Often MOQs start at a few hundred or thousand bags, but some suppliers may accept smaller print runs.

5. How are custom sandwich bags shipped and what is the lead time?

Lead times generally include design proofing + manufacturing + shipping. For many custom bag orders, expect 8-10 business days production, plus transit time. Rush production may be offered at extra cost.

6. Are custom sandwich bags food-safe and compliant with regulations?

Yes, reputable suppliers ensure that the materials and inks are food-safe and meet regulatory standards (e.g. FDA, or relevant food safety authorities in your country). Always request confirmation of compliance.

7. Are these bags eco-friendly or recyclable?

Many custom sandwich bags are made from recyclable or biodegradable materials. If eco-friendly options are important to you, you can choose uncoated kraft paper or compostable finishes.

8. Can the bags resist grease, moisture, or liquid?

Some sandwich bags offer grease-proof or moisture-resistant coatings. However, most paper bags are not fully liquid-proof. For wet or heavily sauced foods, specialized coatings or laminations may be required.

9. Can I order just a sample before placing a large order?

Yes — many suppliers allow you to order sample bags so you can check the print quality, material, and fit before committing to large volumes.

10. What are the payment terms?

Payment terms vary; many suppliers require a deposit (often 50 %) up front, and the remainder before shipping, or ask for full payment. Accepted payment methods may include bank transfer, credit card, or online payment platforms.

11. Can I get a discount for bulk orders?

Yes — typically, the more you order, the lower the per-unit cost becomes. Suppliers may also offer lower shipping rates for large orders.

12. What printing methods are used?

Common printing methods include offset/full-color, digital print, screen print, or flexographic print depending on quantities and complexity. The choice of method can affect cost and minimum order size.

13. What if I want special finishes (e.g. matte/gloss, lamination, window)?

Special finishes are usually possible. Matte or gloss lamination, windows (clear film inserts), or special coatings (UV, aqueous) are often offered—for an additional cost.

14. How do I submit my artwork for printing?

Artwork is often submitted as high-resolution vector files (e.g. .AI, .EPS, .PDF). Suppliers usually provide templates to match the bag dimensions and bleed area. Make sure colors are converted properly (CMYK or spot colors).

15. What is the return/refund policy if the bags are defective?

Most suppliers offer refunds or replacements if there is a manufacturing defect, misprint, or damage in transit. Be sure to inspect your order on arrival and report any issues immediately.
