That all depends on the size and features of your bag. The more you order the better the price you get (we are a wholesale business). Typically we recommend at least 5,000 pieces for a custom stand up pouch, but ultimately, it depends on the total value of your order. A typical minimum budget would start around $500-800 for unprinted, $1000-$1250 for a 1-2 color bag, or $1400+ for a 3+ color bag. Call us or submit the form above to request an official quote.
We do most of our manufacturing overseas to offer the best value possible. A typical lead time is 60-75 days from when the order is placed to when it is in your hands. Any design time should be added to that. If you are in need of a faster time, please contact us. We do have the ability to make some bag types domestically to provide a shorter lead time. We can also do express orders Note: The quotes above are the average base prices for custom orders. Actual quantities and cost will depend on the size of the bag and the complexity of the project.
When submitting artwork for a custom product, please follow the guidelines below to ensure timeliness and accuracy.
FILE FORMATSAll images should be embedded into the design file. Please be sure to communicate any clear areas of the packaging (e.g., windows). Recommended: In addition to sending us the editable file(s), please send either a flattened jpg or pdf, of your final design, as a soft proof. With the proof of your design, our designers are better equipped to compare your approved design with the editable file(s) sent, ensuring that all elements are present.
FONTSAll fonts must be converted to outlines in the document or included with design files. The benefit of outlined fonts is that design remains intact, while the drawback is text cannot be edited. Outlined fonts are preferred.
COLORSPlease submit artwork in Pantone color format. We will have to separate and reformat any artwork that is not given to us, layered by specific Pantone color. When using Pantone colors, you must include color codes (i.e., Pantone Number). Providing a printed sample to match colors will help ensure proper print matching (sample is not required). Providing a printed sample to match colors will help ensure proper print matching (sample not required). Please send any printed samples to the ClearBags representative you are working with.
RGB format will NOT be accepted.
If your art is in CMYK format, we will convert the colors to Pantone and try to color match to the best of our abilities. Colors converted from CMYK may not exactly match (we can typically get a 90% color match). Please provide Pantone colors if you want to ensure 100% color match.
DENOTING WHITE, CLEAR, AND SPECIAL FINISH AREASUse pink (or another color if you already have a pink color in your file) to represent clear, white, and special finishes such as a matte or glossy finish. The color layer can be layered on part or all of the image. Donte what this color means in the file.
BLEED
Please use a 1/8” bleed (i.e., extend artwork 1/8” beyond dieline).
RESOLUTIONResolution should be 300 dpi and 100% in size. Having our artists resize elements could result in image quality loss.
