START WITH YOUR PRODUCT
Choose Packaging Around the Product and Packing Line
Tell us what you are packing—tea, powder, snack, liquid or something else—plus how it is filled or wrapped. We’ll help narrow the format, material route and checks to make before you order.
Two Common Starting Points
The product and the line tell us more than a material name alone. These two routes cover most of the projects we see.
Tea and Coffee Lines
Choose filter media, tags and wrappers around the finished bag and machine.
Food and Specialty Lines
Choose rollstock around fill conditions, seal method, barrier target and roll setup.
Choose the Path That Matches Your Operation
| Starting point | Primary decisions | Next page |
|---|---|---|
| Tea or coffee packing line | Brew media, bag format, tag, outer wrapper and machine | Tea Packaging Hub |
| Food, powder, liquid or snack | Product condition, filling/wrapping process, barrier, seal and format | Food Packaging Application |
| Automated Specialty line | Sachet, stick, wrapper, paper-led or high-barrier rollstock | Specialty Rollstock Hub |
| Defined finished pouch | Pouch style, size, structure, closure, quantity, artwork and destination | Selected Premade Pouches |
Five Details That Change Our Recommendation
- Contents, ingredients or chemistry, fill weight and storage/shelf target
- Hot, cold or ambient filling; VFFS, HFFS, flow-wrap or premade-pouch process
- Pack size, roll-fed or finished format, opening and closure
- Machine and seal information, current material and observed running issue
- Barrier or protection target, quantity, destination and document needs
Our Advice Before You Commit to a Material
Do not choose a film only from a material name or a sustainability label. First confirm the product chemistry, filling temperature, seal method, shelf-life target and machine settings.
Then ask for documents tied to the exact structure and use a sample or line trial when the seal window or runnability is still uncertain. This is usually faster—and less expensive—than fixing the wrong material after printing.
Common Starting Questions
Should I start with the product or the material?
Start with the product, process and finished pack. Material follows from the protection and machine requirements.
Where do tea projects go?
Use the Tea Packaging Hub when the project involves filter media, tags or individual tea-bag wrappers.
What if my current film is failing?
Send a sample or structure, machine details and the observed issue—poor tracking, weak seals, leakage, cracking or another problem.
