Most custom packaging suppliers hide their minimums and production times behind a quote form. We’d rather you plan with the real numbers from day one.

Delivery, your way

Production times above run from artwork approval. Shipping is separate — and flexible.

Sea freight

The most cost-effective way to receive your order.

Airfreight

Around 10 days when you need stock sooner.

Split shipments

Airfreight part of a rotogravure run to start selling — the rest follows by sea.

Ask for current shipping options when you request your quote.

Not sure which fits? Tell us your volumes and we’ll recommend the right press — and say so plainly if custom isn’t the right move yet.

// Under The Minimums?

Not ready for 1,000+ units yet?

No problem — and no pressure to over-order. We hold 500,000+ stock bags in our Dubai warehouse, ready for pickup or express delivery across the Middle East, and you can order from a single carton, in the formats and materials roasters use most. Grow on stock, then come back to custom when your volumes are ready.

// Formats You Can Customise

Pick your format

Five formats, all print-ready — pick the silhouette that fits your product.

Full range of custom printed bag formats side by side

// Materials & Eco Options

Custom print, without the end-of-life compromise.

Print your brand on recyclable options, with compostable options also available for custom printing — alongside the kraft and high-barrier structures roasters rely on. Same presses, same quality, better story on the back of the bag.

01

Get a quote

Tell us your format, size, material and volumes. We quote with real numbers — MOQ, production time and unit cost.

02

Set your artwork on our cutter guides. Our in-house designer checks it and works with your designer daily on adjustments. It’s an artwork check — we don’t design from scratch.

03

04

Production

Your run is printed and made at source. Production after artwork approval: hot stamp ~3 weeks, digital ~3 weeks, rotogravure ~5–7 weeks.

05

Delivery

Sea freight for the best rate, or airfreight in around 10 days when you need stock sooner — then to our Dubai warehouse, quality-checked and ready for pickup or express delivery across the Middle East.

// FAQ

Custom printing, answered

Hot stamp printing starts at 1,000 units, digital printing at 2,000 units and rotogravure at 10,000 units. If you need fewer than that, our stock bags are available from a single carton.

Production takes around 3 weeks for hot stamp and digital printing, and around 5–7 weeks for rotogravure, counted from artwork approval. Shipping is separate and flexible — sea freight is the most cost-effective, and airfreight takes around 10 days when you need stock sooner.

You choose. Sea freight is the most cost-effective option, and airfreight takes around 10 days when you need stock sooner. You can also split a shipment — airfreight part of a rotogravure run so you can start selling, with the rest following by sea. Ask for current shipping options in your quote.

No — we are not a design studio and we don’t create artwork from scratch. We supply cutter guides for your bag, and our in-house designer checks your artwork and works with your designer on adjustments until everything is print-ready.

Yes. A digital proof is included with every order and nothing goes to press until you approve it. Printed proofs are available on demand at an extra cost.

Digital printing has no setup costs at all — no plates and no hidden charges. Rotogravure uses engraved print drums, which are a separate cost itemised in your quote — never hidden in the bag price — and a long-term asset: drums are reusable across reprints and guaranteed for 2 years, with free replacement if a drum rusts or is damaged in that period. Hot stamp pricing depends on the size of the stamp.

For 1,000–2,000 units of single-colour branding, choose hot stamp. For a first full-colour run, multiple SKUs or photographic artwork from 2,000 units, choose digital. From 10,000 units upwards, rotogravure gives the lowest unit cost.

Order stock bags from our Dubai warehouse — from a single carton, ready for pickup or express delivery across the Middle East — and switch to custom printing when your volumes are ready.
