Questions
Format-specific answers. Read before you quote.
Three ways to buy. Plain stock on a standard size starts at £250 and ships fastest, with no tooling and no artwork setup. Custom print on a standard size starts at £1,000. You skip the tooling but supply your own artwork. Custom print on a custom size starts at £1,750 and gives you full control over dimensions, closures, valves, substrates, barrier specs, and finishes. Pick the tier that matches your timeline and budget.
UK or EU production takes 15-20 working days from artwork approval. Asia takes 20-25 working days. Then add transit: 1-3 days within the UK, 7-10 days for EU road, around 10 days for Asia air, around 30 days for Asia rail and road, or around 50 days for Asia sea freight. Your total depends on where you produce and how you ship.
Five standard sizes cover 50g to 1.5kg. SUP-01 and SUP-02 suit light powders, capsule refill packs, and gummies. SUP-03 is built for 250g to 500g, the range that works for coffee, tea, and premium snacks. SUP-04 takes 500g to 1kg, which covers most retail. SUP-05 is the heavy option for 1kg to 1.5kg. Not sure which fits? Request a free sample pack and test the fill line before you commit. For products heavier than the stand-up range, flat bottom pouches give you better shelf presence and stability.
Yes. Request plain stock pricing and tick the sample pack option in the form. We'll send you one of each standard size so you can feel the construction, test your fill line, and confirm the fit before you commit to volume.
Yes. Start with plain stock to validate your product and shelf presence. When you're ready, request a custom print quote on the same standard size. No new tooling, just your artwork applied. If you need a different size or fitment later, we'll quote you for Tier 3 custom dimensions.
In most cases, yes. Stand-up pouches can be specified in mono-PE for soft plastic recycling, PP/PE blended structures, or paper for paper recycling streams.

Substrates accommodate OPRL labelling for member brands, general recycling marks, or your own brand symbols.
