Are We a Factory or a Trading Company?
ORIZON is a direct compostable bag manufacturer with its own manufacturing facility in Qufu, Shandong.
Our production system covers core manufacturing and quality-control stages required for compostable bag projects.
Depending on the approved product specification, these stages include:
- film extrusion
- film thickness control
- printing
- bag cutting and sealing
- perforation
- roll conversion
- flat packing
- quality inspection
- labeling
- carton packing
- warehousing
- shipment preparation
For international buyers, factory verification is available through on-site visits and scheduled live video tours.
Qualified projects can also be supported with relevant production, quality and compliance documentation.
Factory Verification Options
| Verification Method | Available |
| On-site factory visit | Yes |
| Live video factory tour | Yes |
| Production workshop inspection | Yes |
| Sample evaluation | Yes |
| Certification documentation | According to project requirements |
| Product specification review | Yes |
| Quality-control records | According to project requirements |
For B2B sourcing, factory transparency is especially important because compostable bags require more than basic cutting and sealing.
Material formulation, film processing, thickness, sealing, printing and certification scope can all affect the finished product.
From Raw Material to Finished Compostable Bags
A finished compostable bag passes through several production and inspection stages before shipment.
The exact process varies by bag structure, printing, packaging format and target-market requirements.
1. Raw Material and Batch Confirmation
Production begins with the material specification approved for the project.
Incoming compostable materials are checked against the required formulation and project requirements before production.
Relevant batch and material information can be maintained for traceability.
For certified projects, the material and finished-product configuration must also be reviewed against the applicable certification scope.
2. Film Extrusion
The compostable material is processed into film under controlled extrusion conditions.
During film production, operators monitor factors such as:
- film width
- thickness
- appearance
- roll condition
- processing stability
Film thickness is checked against the approved specification.
A compostable film does not perform well simply because it is thicker. Film formulation, processing conditions and thickness consistency also affect the finished bag.
3. Printing
Custom printing can be added for OEM and private-label projects.
Depending on the project, printing requirements may include:
- company logo
- brand graphics
- disposal instructions
- certification-related information
- Pantone color requirements
- repeated bag printing
- roll or product identification
Artwork and printing requirements should be confirmed before mass production.
Printing color, position and appearance can then be checked during production against the approved artwork or sample.
4. Bag Conversion
After film production and printing, the material is converted into finished bags.
Depending on the product, this may include:
- cutting
- sealing
- perforation
- roll winding
- flat packing
- star sealing
- flat-bottom sealing
- handle or T-shirt bag conversion
Bag dimensions, sealing and perforation requirements vary significantly by product.
For example, a kitchen food-waste liner, supermarket produce bag and dog waste bag may use completely different dimensions and roll formats even when they are made from similar compostable materials.
5. In-Process Quality Inspection
Quality checks are performed during production rather than waiting until all bags are finished.
Depending on the approved specification, inspections may include:
- bag width
- bag length
- film thickness
- seal condition
- perforation
- print position
- print appearance
- roll condition
- bags per roll
- label position
- packing configuration
When a problem is detected during production, correcting it at the process stage helps reduce the risk of repeating the same issue across an entire batch.
6. Packing and Identification
Finished bags can be packed according to the customer’s distribution model.
Available formats may include:
- bulk cartons
- individual rolls
- multiple rolls per box
- private-label retail boxes
- custom labels
- core or coreless rolls
- custom carton quantities
- palletized shipment
Carton marks, labels and packing information can also be customized according to project requirements.
7. Final Review and Shipment Preparation
Before shipment, the finished goods are checked against the approved packing and order requirements.
Export orders can then be prepared for courier, air freight, sea freight or other agreed shipping methods.
Depending on the transaction and destination, projects may be supplied under EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
Production Equipment and Capacity
ORIZON operates 16 automated production lines within a 20,000 m² manufacturing facility.
Monthly production capacity is approximately 500 tons.
This capacity supports both customized projects and repeat-volume B2B supply.
However, production capacity should not be interpreted as meaning every order can be produced immediately.
Actual scheduling depends on:
- bag structure
- film thickness
- order quantity
- printing requirements
- packaging
- certification requirements
- current line loading
- approved sample status
For repeat customers, production planning can be arranged around forecast volume and shipment schedules.
This is particularly important for distributors, private-label brands and institutional buyers that require stable supply over multiple shipments.
Compostable Bags Manufactured in Our Factory
Our factory supports multiple compostable bag categories for different B2B markets.
Compostable Trash Bags and Bin Liners
Available for household, food-waste, commercial and institutional applications.
Customization can include size, thickness, color, printing, seal structure, bags per roll and carton configuration.
Compostable Produce Bags
Roll-packed and customized produce bags can be manufactured for supermarkets, distributors and fresh-produce programs.
Options may include transparent or non-transparent film, different roll counts, core dimensions and printing.
Compostable Shopping Bags
T-shirt and handle-style compostable bags can be produced for supermarkets, retailers and branded packaging programs.
Size, gusset, thickness, color and printing can be customized according to the intended use.
Compostable Dog Waste Bags
Compostable dog waste bags can be supplied for pet brands, distributors and private-label programs.
Available options can include different thicknesses, colors, printing, roll counts, packaging and bag structures.
Compostable Mailer Bags
Mailer formats can be developed for e-commerce, shipping and branded packaging applications.
Projects may require custom dimensions, printing, closure design and outer packaging.
Compostable Garment Bags
Compostable garment packaging can be customized for apparel, fashion and textile supply chains.
Dimensions, flap structure, thickness, printing and packing configuration can be developed according to the garment or product being packed.
The right bag specification depends on the actual application.
For custom projects, buyers should provide the target size, thickness, quantity, packaging format, market and required certification before quotation.
Quality Control and Batch Traceability
Quality control should be based on the approved product specification rather than general statements such as “high quality” or “heavy duty.”
Different bag applications require different controls.
A small food-scrap liner, for example, should not be evaluated using exactly the same requirements as a large commercial bin liner.
Our quality-control process can cover the following stages:
| Production Stage | Typical Check |
| Incoming materials | Material and batch information |
| Film extrusion | Width, thickness and film appearance |
| Printing | Artwork, print position and appearance |
| Bag conversion | Dimensions, sealing and perforation |
| Roll production | Bags per roll and roll condition |
| Labeling | Label type and position |
| Final packing | Quantity, carton and packing configuration |
| Documentation | Project and batch information |
Inspection requirements are adjusted according to the approved specification.
Thickness Control
Thickness affects both material usage and bag construction.
However, thickness should not be treated as the only measure of performance.
Film formulation, seal quality, bag dimensions and manufacturing consistency also matter.
Seal and Perforation Control
Sealing is one of the most important areas in bag production.
A weak or inconsistent seal can become the failure point even when the film itself is within specification.
For roll bags, perforation should also allow individual bags to separate correctly without damaging the neighboring bag.
Printing Control
For custom-printed projects, printing is checked against the approved artwork and production requirements.
Depending on the project, this can include print position, artwork orientation, logo appearance and color consistency.
Roll and Packing Control
For roll products, buyers may specify:
- bags per roll
- roll width
- core size
- coreless format
- label type
- number of rolls per carton
These details are part of the finished-product specification and should be checked before shipment.
Certifications and Compliance You Can Verify
ORIZON holds compostability certifications covering defined products and certified configurations for different markets.
Certification should always be confirmed against the final product specification rather than assumed from the material name alone.
Relevant certifications and standards include:
| Market / Composting System | Relevant Certification / Standard |
| United States | BPI / ASTM D6400 |
| European market | EN 13432 |
| Industrial composting | OK Compost INDUSTRIAL |
| Home composting | OK Compost HOME |
| Australia commercial composting | AS 4736 |
| Australia home composting | AS 5810 |
Certification scope is especially important for customized products.
Depending on the certification program, factors such as these may affect whether a finished product remains within an approved scope:
- material formulation
- product type
- thickness
- color
- printing
- ink
- additives
- other components
A certified raw material does not automatically mean every finished bag made from that material is certified.
For this reason, certification requirements should be discussed before finalizing the product specification.
B2B buyers can request relevant certification documentation according to their project and target market.
OEM and Private Label Manufacturing
ORIZON supports OEM and private-label compostable bag projects for global B2B buyers.
Customization can include:
- bag width and length
- film thickness
- bag structure
- gusset
- seal type
- color
- custom printing
- bags per roll
- core dimensions
- coreless rolls
- labels
- retail packaging
- carton configuration
- pallet configuration
A typical custom project follows this process:
Inquiry：
- Specification Review
- Quotation
- Artwork / Packaging Confirmation
- Sample Approval
- Mass Production
- Quality Inspection
- Packing
Shipment
For projects involving certification requirements, the proposed specification should be reviewed before mass production.
This helps avoid developing a customized bag first and discovering later that the selected thickness, color, printing or construction does not match the required certification scope.
MOQ depends on the product specification, printing and packaging requirements.
