You can use our content to quickly access the right information.
Custom packaging production is tailored to the customer’s brand, product, and specific needs. In the first step, details such as the size of the package, pouch type (e.g., doypack, flat bottom, quadro, etc.), material structure (kraft, PE, PET, etc.), printing specifications, and additional features like zippers or windows are determined. In the second step, a packaging design is prepared, and after the customer’s approval, the production process begins. During production, flexographic or rotogravure printing methods are preferred. Depending on order volume, the production is typically completed within an average of 4–8 weeks.
Doypack packaging: A flexible type of packaging that can stand upright after filling, thanks to its oval-shaped bottom gusset.
Flat bottom packaging: Made with five sealed edges and a flat, firm base. This structure allows the pouch to remain upright on shelves after filling.
Gusseted packaging: Features expandable gussets on both sides, increasing the internal volume. During filling, the pouch expands to accommodate greater product capacity.
Each packaging type offers different advantages depending on the product characteristics, target audience, and logistical needs.
We have doypack, flat bottom, gusseted, and other packaging types in stock in various sizes and colors. Depending on stock availability, our products can be delivered immediately in different finishes such as colored, matte, glossy, kraft, transparent, or with window details.
