General Flexible Packaging Questions

Is Packtastic a manufacturer or trading company?

Packtastic is a China-based flexible packaging manufacturer with 26+ years of experience. Our factory in Dongguang, Cangzhou — one of China's top packaging clusters — and our raw material base and office in Tianjin give us direct access to Tianjin Port, supporting customized production and global supply to clients including Fortune 500 companies.

Materials & Structure Questions

What materials are commonly used for flexible packaging?

Common materials include PET (printability and clarity), PA/Nylon (puncture resistance and toughness), PE (sealing and moisture barrier), CPP (heat resistance and clarity), Aluminum foil (AL) (total barrier), EVOH (high oxygen barrier) and PVDC (high barrier). Each structure is selected according to your product's barrier, shelf life and processing requirements — see our packaging technologies for more.

How do I choose the right packaging structure for my product?

Structure selection depends on your product's characteristics: oxygen and moisture sensitivity, required shelf life, temperature resistance (retort or frozen), transparency, and printing or shelf display needs. Share your product details with our engineers and we will recommend the optimal film structure — contact us with your product information.

Printing & Customization Questions

What printing methods are available for custom packaging?

We offer gravure printing for high-volume, high-precision orders (up to 10 colors with Pantone matching), digital printing for low-MOQ runs with zero plate fees and fast delivery, and flexographic printing where suitable. Explore our custom printed flexible packaging options.

Can you provide low MOQ custom printed packaging?

Yes. Our low-MOQ digital printing line supports small-batch custom printed packaging with zero plate fees and fast delivery, including high-impact 8-side seal pouches. For gravure printing, the MOQ depends on the structure and print design.

Production & Quality Questions

What is the typical production lead time?

Standard production time is 15-20 working days after artwork approval. Custom structures that require film lamination or special testing may take longer. Rush orders are available upon request.

What quality documents can you provide?

According to your project requirements we can provide FDA related documents, food contact declarations, SGS testing reports and Technical Data Sheets, as well as registrations such as Germany LUCID and France Léko, and BPA-free material statements — see our certifications & compliance page.

Ordering Questions

What information is needed for quotation?

To get an accurate quotation, please provide: product type, bag size and dimensions, material structure and thickness, printing colors and artwork, order quantity, and destination country. Send these details via our contact page or email info@packtastic-cn.com.

Can you provide samples before mass production?

Yes. We provide free stock samples, and custom printed samples are available at a nominal cost which can be credited toward your first order. Digital printing samples are fast; gravure-printed samples require cylinder making time.

What is your MOQ?

Our standard MOQ is 5,000 pieces per design, significantly lower than the industry average of 20,000-30,000 pieces. Digital printing supports even lower quantities. The exact MOQ depends on the product structure and print process.

Shipping & International Trade

Do you export worldwide?

Yes. We export worldwide from Tianjin Port, serving food, retail and industrial clients across many countries, including Fortune 500 companies. See the industries we serve for reference.

What shipping terms do you support?

We support common international trade terms such as FOB, EXW and CIF, and ship by sea, air or express according to your needs. Please confirm your preferred terms when requesting a quote.
