// Custom Printed Packaging · Europe
Your brand, printed on our bags. Full-colour custom packaging from 1,000 units, with published minimums and production times, your artwork checked by our in-house designer, and a team that guides you from first quote to stock arriving in our Netherlands warehouse.
// Three Ways To Print
Every method has a sweet spot. We publish the minimums, production times and trade-offs up front, so you can pick the right press before you even ask for a quote.
Press-direct full-colour printing with no plates and no hidden charges — the way most brands start.
Your artwork engraved onto print drums — the workhorse for big volumes and the lowest unit cost at scale.
A heated die presses your mark straight onto the bag — the fastest, lowest-commitment way to brand a bag.
// The Numbers, Published
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.
Production times above run from artwork approval. Shipping is separate — and flexible.
The most cost-effective way to receive your order.
Around 10 days when you need stock sooner.
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?
No problem — and no pressure to over-order. Our stock bags dispatch next-day from our Netherlands warehouse when you order before noon, 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
Every bag format we stock can also be custom printed — plus laminated roll film and boxes to match.
// Materials & Eco Options
Print your brand on recyclable mono-PE, PCR film with a post-consumer recycled core, or compostable film — alongside the kraft and high-barrier structures roasters rely on. All three help you get ahead of the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).

// FAQ
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 Netherlands warehouse — from a single carton, with next-day dispatch when you order before noon — and switch to custom printing when your volumes are ready.
