OEM Project Workflow: From Inquiry to Repeat Order
An OEM compostable bag project involves more than manufacturing the bag itself.
The product specification, target market, certification requirements, artwork, packaging and commercial terms should be confirmed before mass production begins.
Our typical OEM workflow follows the steps below.
Step 1. Requirement & Application Review
We start by reviewing your product application and basic requirements.
Please provide the product type, bag size, thickness, structure, estimated quantity, target market and packing requirements where available.
If the final specification is not ready, you can also send an existing bag, drawing, photo or reference sample.
If you need help defining the bag size, thickness, structure or packing format, explore our Custom Compostable Bags capabilities.
Step 2. Specification & Certification Confirmation
We review the proposed bag specification together with the target market, certification requirements and commercial conditions.
Key items may include size, thickness, bag structure, color, printing, order quantity, packaging format, MOQ and estimated lead time.
Different markets may require different compostability standards. Review our Compostable Certifications for the USA, Europe, Australia and other target markets.
For standard order quantities, production planning and typical project timing, see our MOQ & Lead Time Guidelines.
Step 3. Sample & Artwork Approval
Depending on the project, buyers may evaluate existing samples, similar-specification samples or customized samples before mass production.
For printed or branded products, we also confirm artwork, Pantone colors, print position, roll labels and retail packaging files where applicable.
If your project requires logos, product text or custom artwork on the bag, see our Custom Printed Compostable Bags capabilities.
If you also need roll labels, retail boxes, barcode/SKU control or branded cartons, explore our Private Label Compostable Packaging program.
Step 4. Production & Quality Control
After the specification and required artwork are approved, we arrange production planning and prepare the materials, printing plates and packaging components required for the order.
A typical production flow may include:
Film Extrusion → Printing → Bag Making → Sealing → Rewinding / Folding → Packing
During production, key specifications are checked against the approved project requirements.
For a detailed look at film extrusion, printing, bag making and conversion, see our guide to the Compostable Bags Manufacturing Process.
Step 5. Final Inspection & Shipment
Before shipment, the finished products and packing are checked against the approved order requirements.
Typical checks may include product specification, carton quantity, retail packaging, barcode/SKU, carton markings, pallet configuration and shipping documents.
EXW, FOB, CIF or DDP can be reviewed according to the destination and project requirements.
Step 6. Repeat Order Control
For repeat production, the approved specification and project records are used as references for the next order.
These may include bag dimensions, thickness, film color, printing artwork, Pantone references, roll configuration, packaging version, barcode/SKU and carton specification.
Any requested changes are reviewed before the next production run.

OEM Quality Control Checkpoints
Quality control should follow the product through different stages rather than rely only on a final visual inspection.
| Stage | Typical Check |
|---|---|
| Raw Material | Material and batch reference |
| Film | Thickness and appearance |
| Bag Making | Dimensions and structure |
| Sealing | Seal quality |
| Perforation | Tear performance |
| Printing | Position and consistency |
| Roll | Count and winding |
| Packing | Quantity, label and carton |
| Final Inspection | Approved specification reference |
The exact inspection points depend on the product type and customer requirements.
What Buyers Should Prepare Before Starting
A clear RFQ allows us to evaluate the OEM project more accurately.
Please send:
- Product category
- Intended application
- Bag dimensions
- Thickness
- Bag structure
- Bottom seal
- Film color
- Printing requirements
- Bags per roll or pack
- Retail packaging requirements
- Estimated order quantity
- Target market
- Required certification
- Destination country
- Existing sample or drawing, if available
If the specification is incomplete, send the information you already have.
Missing technical or packaging details can be identified during the requirement-review stage.
OEM Process FAQ
No. If the final specification is not ready, you can send an existing bag, drawing, target product, photos or basic dimensions.
We can identify which details still need to be confirmed.
Not necessarily.
Depending on the project, evaluation may begin with existing samples, similar-specification samples or custom samples.
Retail packaging should normally be finalized after the bag or roll specification is confirmed.
Changes in thickness, roll count or finished roll diameter may affect the required box dimensions.
Artwork is normally reviewed after the relevant bag size, printing area and packaging format are sufficiently defined.
Only where the final product is covered by the applicable certification scope and the logo-use requirements are satisfied.
Certification marks should not be assumed to apply automatically to every custom product.
Standard custom production MOQ typically starts from approximately 500 kg per specification.
Actual requirements depend on the bag type, size, thickness, color, printing and packaging.
Yes.
Approved specifications, artwork, color references and packaging information can be maintained as references for repeat orders.
Yes. If you need retail boxes, roll labels, barcode / SKU control and branded carton packaging, see our dedicated Private Label Packaging program.
