What Can Be Customized on Compostable Garment Bags?
Custom garment bags should be developed around the garment type, packing workflow, storage requirements and distribution process—not simply by changing the bag size or adding a logo.
ORIZON can review the complete garment bag specification.
| Specification | Custom Options |
|---|---|
| Bag format | Open-top, self-seal, hanger opening or custom structure |
| Width | Custom |
| Length | Custom |
| Thickness | Selected according to garment and handling requirements |
| Flap length | Custom |
| Adhesive position | Custom for self-seal formats |
| Hanger opening | Custom where required |
| Ventilation holes | Custom quantity and position |
| Side gusset | Available where applicable |
| Film appearance | Clear, translucent, tinted or custom colour |
| Printing | Unprinted or custom printed |
| Print colours | Pantone references |
| Barcode / SKU | Available where required |
| Pack quantity | Custom |
| Carton quantity | Custom |
| Carton marking | Custom |
Bag dimensions, thickness, structure, film appearance and artwork should be reviewed together because each can affect packing efficiency, garment visibility, print layout and material usage.
For standard garment bag formats and wholesale supply, see our Compostable Garment Bags range.
Custom Compostable Garment Bag Formats
Different apparel packing workflows require different garment bag structures.
Custom Open-Top Garment Bags
Open-top garment bags are suitable for garment factories, warehouses, sorting, export packing and other workflows where an adhesive closure is not required.
Custom options may include:
- width;
- length;
- thickness;
- film transparency;
- ventilation holes;
- logo printing; and
- pack quantity.
Open-top structures are useful where garments need to be inserted or removed quickly.
Custom Self-Seal Garment Bags
Self-seal garment bags use a flap and adhesive strip to keep garments enclosed after packing.
They are commonly considered for:
- folded apparel;
- e-commerce inner packaging;
- warehouse packing;
- retail preparation; and
- export garments.
Custom variables may include:
- bag width and length;
- flap length;
- adhesive position;
- film thickness;
- film appearance;
- printing; and
- packing quantity.
The bag body, flap and adhesive position should be developed as one finished structure.
Custom Hanger Garment Bags
Hanger garment bags are designed for clothing that remains on hangers during storage, transport or retail preparation.
Important specifications may include:
- garment length;
- shoulder width;
- bag width;
- bag length;
- hanger opening;
- film thickness;
- ventilation holes; and
- printing position.
The hanger opening should be positioned according to the actual garment and hanger structure rather than using one standard position for every project.
Custom Garment Bag Size & Thickness
Garment bag dimensions should be developed from the actual clothing format and packing workflow.
Custom Bag Size
Bag size may vary according to the garment being packed, including:
- T-shirts;
- shirts;
- trousers;
- dresses;
- jackets;
- suits;
- coats;
- folded apparel; and
- hanging garments.
For folded apparel, the bag should provide enough clearance for easy loading without excessive unused film.
For hanging garments, shoulder width, garment length and hanger position become more important.
If you already use a conventional PE garment bag, the existing dimensions can be used as a starting reference.
Custom Thickness
Thickness should be selected according to:
- bag dimensions;
- garment weight;
- warehouse handling;
- export transport;
- closure structure;
- zippers, buttons or hangers;
- required film feel; and
- visibility requirements.
Using unnecessary thickness increases material use and cost, while insufficient thickness may increase the risk of tearing during packing or handling.
The final specification should therefore be selected according to the garment and packing process rather than bag dimensions alone.
For more detailed guidance, see our Garment Bag Size & Thickness Guide.
Custom Flap & Adhesive Seal
For self-seal garment bags, flap dimensions and adhesive position directly affect the finished packing workflow.
Flap Length
Flap length can influence:
- garment loading;
- bag closure;
- adhesive position;
- final bag dimensions; and
- artwork placement.
A flap that is too short may make sealing difficult, while unnecessary flap length increases material usage.
Adhesive Strip
The adhesive strip should be reviewed together with:
- flap length;
- bag width;
- garment packing method;
- required closure;
- release-liner position; and
- artwork layout.
For printed garment bags, the flap and adhesive areas should be confirmed before artwork is finalized.
The practical relationship is:
Bag Size → Flap Length → Adhesive Position → Closure → Finished Packing Workflow
Custom Hanger Openings & Ventilation
Hanger openings and ventilation holes can be added where required by the apparel packaging workflow.
Hanger Opening
For hanging garments, the opening should be reviewed according to:
- hanger-hook size
- hanger position
- shoulder width
- garment length
- film thickness
The opening should provide practical access for the hanger without creating unnecessary stress around the top of the bag.
Ventilation Holes
Ventilation holes may be used where air release is useful during packing, stacking or carton loading.
Hole size, quantity and position can be reviewed according to the final bag dimensions and packing method.
These features should be treated as structural packaging details rather than automatically applied to every garment bag.
Custom Printed Compostable Garment Bags
Custom printing can be developed for apparel brands, distributors and private-label packaging programs.
Printed content may include:
- company logo;
- brand name;
- garment size;
- barcode;
- SKU information;
- style code;
- handling instructions;
- product information;
- multilingual text; and
- permitted environmental or certification wording.
Printing should normally be finalized after the bag dimensions, closure structure, film appearance and any hanger or ventilation openings have been confirmed.
Logo & Brand Printing
Brand artwork can be positioned on the main body panel according to the usable print area.
For self-seal garment bags, sufficient clearance should be maintained around the flap and adhesive area.
For hanger bags, artwork should also avoid hanger openings and other structural features.
Barcode & SKU Identification
Apparel programs may require:
- garment size;
- style code;
- barcode;
- SKU;
- product reference; or
- market-specific identification.
Where barcodes need to be scanned through the bag, readability should be tested using the finished film and actual warehouse scanner before production approval.
Pantone Print Colors
Pantone references can be used as print-colour targets.
Final print appearance may vary according to:
- film transparency;
- film colour;
- thickness;
- ink;
- print coverage; and
- the background behind the bag.
Print colour should therefore be reviewed together with the selected film appearance.
Print Area & Structural Clearance
The full dimensions of a garment bag are not always the same as the usable printing area.
Artwork may need clearance around:
- flap areas;
- adhesive strips;
- hanger openings;
- ventilation holes;
- side gussets;
- folding areas; and
- bag edges.
The practical relationship is:
Bag Size → Structural Features → Usable Body Panel → Artwork Size & Position
Artwork should therefore be prepared after the main bag structure has been confirmed.
For broader information about artwork files, printing plates, Pantone references and flexographic printing, see our Custom Printed Compostable Bags capabilities.
Film Appearance & Transparency
Film appearance is an important part of garment packaging, particularly where the garment, size label or barcode needs to remain visible.
Available appearance options may include:
- transparent;
- translucent;
- tinted; and
- custom film colours where technically applicable.
Compostable film may show some haze depending on formulation, thickness and film colour.
Large printed areas can also reduce garment visibility.
For apparel programs requiring both branding and product visibility, film appearance and artwork coverage should therefore be reviewed together.
Custom Packing & Carton Configuration
Garment bags are typically supplied flat, stacked or bundled according to the buyer’s packing workflow.
Custom options may include:
- bags per bundle
- bags per pack
- bags per carton
- carton size
- carton markings
- barcode or SKU labels
- pallet packing
Packing should be selected according to:
- garment bag dimensions;
- film thickness;
- pack quantity;
- warehouse handling;
- carton gross-weight target; and
- shipping efficiency.
For multi-size programs, each SKU should be clearly identified to reduce warehouse and packing errors.
For projects requiring branded cartons, labels or broader private-label packaging coordination, see our Private Label Compostable Packaging service.
MOQ & Multi-SKU Customization
Standard custom production MOQ typically starts from approximately 500 kg per specification.
One specification generally means one combination of:
- bag dimensions;
- thickness;
- bag structure;
- closure;
- film appearance;
- film colour; and
- artwork.
Different sizes, colours or print designs may therefore require separate production quantities.
Printed and private-label projects may also involve separate printing plates, artwork setup or packing requirements.
For multi-SKU apparel programs, send the required quantity for each size and design so the most practical production arrangement can be reviewed.
For detailed production quantities and timing, see our OEM MOQ & Lead Time for Compostable Bags guide.
Sampling & Custom Specification Approval
For custom garment bag projects, samples are recommended where garment fit, film appearance, closure, printing or packing performance needs to be evaluated before bulk production.
A project can begin from:
- an existing PE garment bag;
- technical dimensions;
- a packaging drawing;
- artwork files; or
- a new specification.
Before mass production, buyers should review the relevant combination of:
- garment fit;
- bag dimensions;
- thickness;
- film visibility;
- flap and adhesive position;
- hanger opening;
- ventilation holes;
- barcode readability;
- printing; and
- packing configuration.
The approved sample or confirmed specification should then be used as the production reference for repeat orders.
Compostability & Certification Scope
Custom garment bags may be produced using PBAT / PLA / starch-based compostable film formulations.
However, a compostable material formulation does not automatically mean that every finished custom garment bag is covered by an existing compostability certificate.
Certification applicability may be affected by factors including:
- product type;
- material formulation;
- thickness;
- film colour;
- printing;
- adhesive components;
- labels;
- release liners; and
- other finished-product details.
Certification applicability should therefore be confirmed against the applicable current certificate and final finished-product specification.
Certification marks should only be printed where the applicable finished-product scope and mark-use requirements have been verified.
