VARELTONPACK

Manufacturing & customisation services

Custom packaging services, from film structure to freight.

Custom sizes, thicknesses, colours, materials, logos and printed designs — plus OEM and ODM development, bulk wholesale production, samples and worldwide shipping, all handled by one factory team.

01 — What we do

Eight services that cover the whole order.

You can use one of these or all eight. Most customers start with a sample, then move a full packaging programme across once the first run lands.

SERVICE 01

Custom printing & branding

Up to 8-colour flexographic and gravure printing on every bag we manufacture, with Pantone matching, white underprint on coloured film and reverse-side printing.

SERVICE 02

OEM & ODM development

Send a sample, a spec sheet or a problem. We engineer the film structure, seal geometry and closure, then produce a pre-production sample for your sign-off.

SERVICE 03

Bulk wholesale production

Container-load capacity with scheduled call-offs and blanket pricing, so distributors and resellers can hold a price across a season instead of requoting monthly.

SERVICE 04

Custom sizing & materials

Any dimension within our web width, in LDPE, HDPE, co-extruded, recycled-content, kraft-laminated or certified compostable film — matched to the weight and route of your product.

SERVICE 05

Product samples

Free plain stock samples so you can test seal strength and feel, and low-cost printed pre-production samples so nothing about your artwork is a surprise at scale.

SERVICE 06

Worldwide shipping

Sea, air and express freight arranged door-to-door on FOB, CIF or DDP terms, with customs paperwork, carton marking and Amazon FBA labelling prepared at the factory.

SERVICE 07

Quality control & compliance

Thickness, seal-strength, adhesive-tack and print-registration checks on every batch, plus the documentation your marketplace or retail customer asks for.

SERVICE 08

Packaging design support

No artwork yet? Our prepress team lays your logo out on a dieline, checks bleed and legibility, and returns a print-ready file with your proof — at no extra cost.

NOT SURE WHERE TO START?

Send us the product, not the spec.

Tell us what goes in the bag, how far it travels and how many you need. We will propose the material and thickness, and price two options so you can compare.

02 — Customisation

Everything on the bag is a variable.

Size, thickness, film, colour, closure, finish and print are all specified per order. If you can describe it, we can usually quote it — and if we cannot make it well, we will say so.

DIMENSION

Any size

From 4×6 in poly bags to 24×36 in garment bags, plus gussets and custom flap depth.

GAUGE

1.8 – 6.0 mil

Thickness matched to product weight, handling and shipping route.

MATERIAL

LDPE · HDPE · PCR · Kraft

Virgin, recycled-content, co-extruded, laminated or certified compostable film.

CLOSURE

Seal & zip options

Permanent self-seal, peel-and-seal returns strip, zip-lock, slider or heat seal.

03 — How it works

Six steps from enquiry to delivery.

A first custom order typically takes two to three weeks from approved artwork. Reorders skip straight to step five.

STEP 01

Share your specs

Send the bag type, size, thickness, quantity and destination — or just the product and we will recommend a spec.

STEP 02

Quotation & material plan

Within one business day you receive a costed quote, usually with a cheaper and a stronger alternative to compare.

STEP 03

Digital proof

Our prepress team lays your artwork on the dieline and returns a proof within 72 hours. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

STEP 04

Pre-production sample

Optional but recommended for first orders: a physical printed sample from the real film and the real plates.

STEP 05

Mass production & QC

Production runs in 7–12 working days with thickness, seal and registration checks logged per batch.

STEP 06

Shipping & reorder file

We arrange freight on your chosen terms and archive your artwork, plates and colour target for the next run.

Step one takes about two minutes.

Send the bag type, size and quantity — or just describe the product. You will have a costed quotation, a lead time and an honest opinion on the spec by this time tomorrow.

04 — FAQ

Questions buyers ask before the first order.

Anything not covered here? Email sales@varelton.com and a real person will answer.

Custom printed poly mailers start at 500 pieces per size. Bubble mailers, zipper bags and shopping bags typically start at 1,000 pieces, and stretch film is sold from one pallet. Plain unprinted stock has no minimum beyond a full carton.

Digital proofs come back within 72 hours. Once artwork is approved, mass production runs 7–12 working days depending on quantity and print colours. Add 3–5 days if you request a physical pre-production sample, and allow separately for sea or air freight.

Yes. Plain stock samples are free — you cover the courier — and ship within one to two days. Printed pre-production samples take five to seven days and carry a small charge that we credit back against your bulk order.

A one-off plate charge applies per colour, per size, on the first run of a design. Reorders of the same artwork carry no plate fee because we keep your plates on file. The exact figure is always itemised in your quotation — never added later.

Vector files are best: AI, EPS or print-ready PDF with fonts outlined, at least 300 dpi for any embedded images, and Pantone references for brand colours. Send what you have — if it is a PNG or a logo from your website, our prepress team will tell you honestly whether it will print cleanly.

Yes. We produce mailers with recycled content up to 100% PCR, kraft-paper bubble mailers, and certified compostable films. Each option comes with the supporting material documentation, since marketplaces and retail buyers increasingly ask for evidence rather than a claim.

We quote FOB, CIF and DDP, and ship by sea, air or express to more than 40 countries. We can deliver directly into Amazon FBA warehouses or your 3PL, prepare carton marking and labelling at the factory, and consolidate with goods from your other suppliers.

Standard terms are a deposit on order confirmation with the balance against the shipping documents. Established repeat customers can be reviewed for open terms. We accept bank transfer, and other methods can be discussed with your account manager.

Send photographs and your batch number. We check them against the QC record for that run, and where the fault is ours we replace the affected quantity or credit it — we would rather carry the cost once than lose a customer who reorders.
