Dog Poop Bag OEM Project Checklist: Specifications, Samples, Packaging and QC

Many dog poop bag OEM projects are delayed for a simple reason.

The factory can make the product, but the product details are not fully confirmed before sampling or mass production.

The bag size may be approved, but nobody confirms whether the size includes the handles.

The buyer may choose 15 bags per roll, but the finished roll diameter is not checked against the dispenser.

The retail box may be designed before the final roll size is known.

A digital proof may be approved even though nobody has tested the seal, perforation or actual film color.

Small gaps become expensive after printing plates, packaging and production have started.

This dog poop bag OEM checklist helps pet brands, distributors, importers and e-commerce sellers confirm the main product and packaging details before mass production.

It covers:

• Product specifications
• Film thickness and color
• Bag printing
• Roll structure
• Samples
• Retail packaging
• Quality control
• Carton packing
• Shipping
• Repeat-order records

Start With the Target Market and Sales Channel

Do not start with the bag color.

Start with the market.

The destination country and sales channel can affect the product claim, certification, packaging text, barcode, shipping carton and final cost.

Confirm the destination market

State where the product will be sold.

Common markets include:

• United States
• Canada
• European Union
• United Kingdom
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Other regional markets

The destination market may affect:

• Compostability standards
• Certification logo requirements
• Packaging claims
• Required language
• Size units
• Import documents
• Local labeling rules
• Disposal instructions

Do not assume that artwork prepared for one market can be used in another market without review.

Confirm the sales channel

The same bag may need different packaging for different channels.

Common channels include:

• Amazon FBA
• Pet stores
• Supermarkets
• Brand websites
• Subscription boxes
• Distributor wholesale
• Commercial refill programs

An Amazon seller may need a barcode, FNSKU and specific carton labels.

A pet-store brand may focus more on shelf display, box size and front-panel claims.

A distributor may prefer bulk cartons and local repacking.

A commercial buyer may not need a full-color retail box at all.

Market and channel checklist

• Destination country confirmed
• Sales channel confirmed
• Target customer confirmed
• Target retail price considered
• Certification needs reviewed
• Barcode requirements reviewed
• Local packaging statements reviewed

Define the Bag Size Correctly

Bag dimensions should be written clearly.

Do not use only a product photo or a competitor listing.

Confirm the flat bag dimensions

The specification should state:

• Bag width
• Bag length
• Side gusset, if any
• Handle dimensions, if applicable
• Whether the total length includes the handles
• Whether the stated length includes the sealed area

A common retail dog poop bag size is about 9 × 13 inches, or 23 × 33 cm.

That does not make it the correct size for every product.

Consider:

• The target dog size
• The opening width
• The usable internal length
• Space needed for tying
• The dispenser size
• The retail-box dimensions
• The target price
• The number of bags per roll

Larger bags may be useful for large-dog products or bags with handles.

Smaller bags may reduce material use, but they may also be harder for some customers to use.

Check the usable length

The stated bag length may not equal the full usable length.

The bottom seal, tear line or handle area may reduce the space available for waste collection and tying.

Ask the supplier to show the measurement method on a drawing.

Confirm the finished roll dimensions

A flat bag can match the specification while the finished roll does not fit the intended dispenser or box.

Confirm:

• Roll height
• Roll diameter
• Core inner diameter
• Core outer diameter
• Core width
• Maximum dispenser cavity

I would not approve the final retail-box size until the finished roll dimensions are known.

Bag-size checklist

• Bag width confirmed
• Bag length confirmed
• Measurement method shown
• Gusset confirmed
• Handle dimensions confirmed
• Usable length reviewed
• Roll height confirmed
• Maximum roll diameter confirmed
• Dispenser compatibility checked
• Retail-box fit checked

Buyers comparing different structures can review our custom dog poop bags options.

Select Thickness Based on Performance

Thickness is important.

It is not the only measure of quality.

A dog poop bag must work as a finished product. Film formulation, seal strength, perforation and production consistency also affect performance.

Common thickness options

Private label dog poop bags may be produced in different thicknesses, such as:

• 15 microns
• 18 microns
• 20 microns
• 25 microns

The correct choice depends on:

• Bag dimensions
• Film formulation
• Seal design
• Puncture resistance
• Opacity
• Bags per roll
• Roll-diameter limit
• Target market
• Customer expectations
• Target price

A higher micron number does not automatically mean a better product.

For example, an evenly produced 18-micron bag with a stable seal may perform better than a thicker bag with poor sealing or uneven film.

Test the complete bag

A buyer should test more than the stated micron value.

Useful checks include:

• Ease of opening
• Hand feel
• Opacity
• Stretch
• Puncture resistance
• Seal strength
• Leakage
• Tear-line performance
• Ease of tying
• Finished roll diameter

When comparing a new sample with an existing product, send the physical reference sample to the factory where possible.

The stated specification alone may not explain the full product feel.

Thickness checklist

• Target thickness confirmed
• Finished sample tested
• Seal strength checked
• Leakage checked
• Opacity checked
• Ease of opening tested
• Tear line tested
• Roll diameter reviewed
• Customer-use test completed

Confirm the Bag Format and Seal

The product brief should clearly state the bag structure.

Do not write only “dog poop bags on rolls.”

Flat-top roll bags

Flat-top bags have a straight opening and are commonly supplied on perforated rolls.

They are compact and suitable for many retail and refill products.

Confirm:

• Opening width
• Bottom-seal type
• Perforation
• Roll direction

Star-sealed bags

A star seal gathers the film at the bottom and forms a sealed base.

The seal should be tested for:

• Strength
• Leakage
• Consistency
• Film gathering

Flat-bottom bags

Flat-bottom bags use a straight bottom seal.

They may be selected for:

• Specific product designs
• Printing layouts
• Manufacturing requirements
• Different bag-opening preferences

Dog poop bags with handles

Handle bags provide built-in tying points.

They may be easier for some customers to close, but they also change:

• Total bag dimensions
• Film weight
• Roll structure
• Roll diameter
• Packaging size
• Unit cost

The specification must state whether the quoted size includes the handles.

Perforation and tear line

The tear line is easy to overlook.

Check:

• Perforation position
• Tear strength
• Tear direction
• Whether the next bag is damaged
• Whether several bags pull out together
• First-bag access

A perforation that is too weak may separate during packing.

A perforation that is too strong may make the roll difficult to use.

Bag-format checklist

• Bag format confirmed
• Seal type confirmed
• Seal position confirmed
• Perforation position confirmed
• Tear performance approved
• Handle dimensions confirmed
• First-bag access reviewed
• Roll direction confirmed

Confirm Bags per Roll, Core and Roll Structure

The number of bags per roll affects more than the product count.

It can change the roll diameter, box size, dispenser fit and shipping weight.

Bags per roll

Common options include:

• 10 bags per roll
• 15 bags per roll
• 20 bags per roll
• Custom roll counts

Before increasing the roll count, check:

• Roll diameter
• Box dimensions
• Dispenser capacity
• Roll weight
• Retail pack weight
• Cost per roll

Adding more bags may sound like a simple value increase.

It may require a different box and dispenser.

Paper core or coreless roll

Confirm whether the product uses:

• Paper core
• Coreless winding
• Custom core dimensions

For a paper core, provide:

• Core inner diameter
• Core outer diameter
• Core width
• Core material
• Whether the core extends beyond the roll

Core dimensions may matter when the roll is used in a fixed dispenser.

Winding direction

The winding direction affects how the first bag appears and how printed artwork faces the customer.

Confirm:

• Printed side facing inward or outward
• First-bag position
• Tear direction
• Bag opening direction
• Artwork orientation

Roll-structure checklist

• Bags per roll confirmed
• Paper core or coreless confirmed
• Core inner diameter confirmed
• Core outer diameter confirmed
• Core width confirmed
• Winding direction confirmed
• First-bag position confirmed
• Roll diameter tested
• Dispenser fit approved

Confirm Film Color and Opacity

Film color affects branding, printing and product appearance.

Common options include:

• Green
• Black
• Natural shades
• Custom colors

Use a Pantone reference

For a custom film color, provide:

• Pantone reference
• Physical color sample, where available
• Desired opacity
• Desired finish
• Packaging reference
• Competitor sample or photograph

A Pantone number is a production reference.

It does not mean compostable film will look exactly the same as coated paper.

The final appearance may change because of:

• Film thickness
• Material formulation
• Opacity
• Lighting
• Photography
• Ink printed over the film

Confirm opacity

Some brands want a more opaque bag.

Others prefer a lighter or more natural appearance.

State the requirement before sampling.

Do not use color alone to describe opacity.

White ink on dark film

A light logo may not appear clearly on green, black or another dark film.

White ink may be needed under the printed color.

Without a white base, the logo may look dull, transparent or affected by the bag-body color.

Color checklist

• Pantone reference supplied
• Physical sample supplied where possible
• Opacity level confirmed
• Finish discussed
• White ink requirement confirmed
• Print color reviewed on the selected film
• Color tolerance discussed
• Physical color sample approved where required

Prepare the Bag Printing Artwork

Printing should be reviewed before the supplier gives a final quotation.

The number of print colors and print sides can affect plate cost, setup and MOQ.

Confirm the print structure

State whether the bag will be:

• Unprinted
• Printed on one side
• Printed on two sides
• Printed with the same design on both sides
• Printed with different designs on each side

Also confirm:

• Number of print colors
• Logo size
• Print position
• Repeat distance
• Print direction
• Film color
• White underprint

Supply editable artwork

Preferred file types include:

• Adobe Illustrator
• EPS
• Editable PDF
• Vector logo files

A JPG or PNG may help the supplier understand the design.

It is normally not the best final production file.

Review the repeat distance

The artwork repeat should work with:

• Bag length
• Perforation position
• Seal position
• Bag orientation
• Printing direction

A logo should not be cut by the perforation or placed too close to the bottom seal.

Printing plates and setup

Printing plates may be required for each print color or design area.

Confirm:

• Number of plates
• Plate cost
• Whether plates can be reused
• Plate-storage period
• Cost of artwork changes
• Whether two-side printing needs extra plates

For more detail, review our guide to custom printing for compostable bags.

Printing checklist

• Editable artwork supplied
• Print sides confirmed
• Number of print colors confirmed
• Pantone ink references supplied
• White ink confirmed
• Logo dimensions confirmed
• Print position confirmed
• Repeat distance confirmed
• Print direction confirmed
• Plate cost confirmed
• Final artwork version approved

Review Certification and Packaging Claims

Compostability claims should be reviewed before artwork approval.

ASTM D6400 covers plastics and products designed for aerobic composting in municipal or industrial facilities. It also establishes requirements used when identifying and labeling products for those conditions.

BPI manages separate commercial-only and commercial-and-home compostability certification schemes. Its certification system also includes specific processes for sublicensing and use of the BPI mark.

This means a certification logo should not be added simply because the raw material supplier has a certificate.

Before approving the artwork, confirm:

• Destination country
• Intended compostability claim
• Applicable standard
• Finished-product certificate scope
• Certificate holder
• Logo-use permission
• Sublicense requirement
• Required wording
• Minimum logo size
• Clear-space requirement
• Disposal instructions

Avoid vague claims

“Biodegradable” and “compostable” are not the same claim.

A biodegradable statement may not explain:

• Which standard was used
• What conditions are required
• How long the process takes
• Whether third-party certification exists
• Whether the claim is allowed in the destination market

Define the required environmental claim before the packaging is designed.

Certification checklist

• Destination-market rules reviewed
• Applicable standard confirmed
• Finished-product scope checked
• Certificate holder confirmed
• Logo-use permission confirmed
• Sublicense requirement reviewed
• Packaging wording approved
• Disposal wording reviewed
• Final artwork checked before plate production

Choose the Retail Packaging Structure

Retail packaging must fit the actual rolls.

Do not complete the box design before confirming the roll diameter, roll height and dispenser dimensions.

Printed retail box

A box may contain:

• Individual rolls
• Multipacks
• Rolls with a dispenser
• Subscription sets
• Gift sets

Confirm:

• Rolls per box
• Roll arrangement
• Box dimensions
• Box style
• Board material
• Printing method
• Opening method
• Barcode location
• Certification marks
• Product statements
• Export-carton quantity

Paper sleeve

Paper sleeves may suit simple multipacks.

They can use less board than a full box, but they must still hold the rolls securely during handling and transport.

Check:

• Sleeve width
• Sleeve tension
• Roll movement
• Barcode position
• Product information space

Printed or transparent outer bag

Outer bags may be used for:

• Roll multipacks
• Refill packs
• E-commerce products
• Promotional kits

Confirm:

• Outer-bag material
• Size
• Seal
• Print
• Warning text
• Barcode
• Closure
• Product visibility

Bulk carton

Bulk packing may suit:

• Distributors
• Local repacking
• Commercial customers
• Refill programs

Confirm:

• Rolls per inner pack
• Rolls per carton
• Inner protection
• Carton weight
• Carton dimensions
• Shipping marks

Dispenser-kit packaging

When the retail set includes a dispenser, confirm:

• Dispenser dimensions
• Dispenser shape
• Leash clip
• Logo
• Color
• Product arrangement
• Empty space
• Box strength
• Separate dispenser MOQ

A dispenser may have a different MOQ from the bag rolls.

Packaging checklist

• Retail pack type confirmed
• Rolls per pack confirmed
• Roll dimensions confirmed
• Dispenser dimensions confirmed
• Internal arrangement tested
• Box style approved
• Barcode location confirmed
• Certification statements reviewed
• Master-carton quantity confirmed
• Carton gross weight estimated

Decide Which Sample You Actually Need

Not every sample answers the same question.

Choose the sample type based on what you need to confirm.

Existing stock sample

A stock sample may help you check:

• Material feel
• Common thickness
• Bag opening
• Seal structure
• Perforation
• Roll format

It normally cannot confirm:

• Final custom color
• Final logo printing
• Final roll count
• Final retail packaging

Custom unprinted sample

A custom unprinted sample may confirm:

• Bag size
• Thickness
• Seal style
• Perforation
• Bags per roll
• Core
• Finished roll dimensions

It does not confirm the final printed appearance.

Custom printed sample

A printed sample may help check:

• Logo appearance
• Print position
• Film and ink combination
• White ink
• Repeat distance
• Print direction

Printing plates or setup charges may apply.

Packaging prototype

A packaging prototype may confirm:

• Box dimensions
• Product arrangement
• Dispenser fit
• Artwork placement
• Barcode position
• Opening method

A digitally printed prototype may not look exactly like mass-produced offset or flexographic packaging.

It is still useful for checking structure and layout.

Pre-production sample

A pre-production sample may be used to confirm the final setup before mass production.

The approval record should state:

• What has been approved
• Which sample is the reference
• Which tolerances still apply
• Whether any item remains pending

Sample type	What it can help confirm	Main limitation
Stock sample	Material, seal, perforation	Does not match the full custom product
Custom unprinted sample	Size, thickness, roll structure	Does not confirm final printing
Custom printed sample	Bag print and color combination	Does not represent every mass-produced unit
Packaging prototype	Box size and product arrangement	May use a different printing process
Pre-production sample	Final approved setup	Production tolerances still apply

Understand What a Digital Proof Can Confirm

A digital proof is useful.

It is not a physical product.

A digital proof can confirm:

• Text
• Logo position
• Print direction
• Artwork repeat
• Barcode location
• Bag count
• Roll count
• Box statements
• Certification-mark position
• Basic color references

A digital proof cannot fully confirm:

• Actual film color
• Film hand feel
• Opacity
• Printed ink appearance
• Roll diameter
• Perforation feel
• Seal strength
• Leakage resistance
• Box strength

A digital proof approves the layout.

It does not replace a physical product test.

Create a Pre-Production Approval Checklist

Before production starts, bring the final information into one approved specification sheet.

Do not leave important details across:

• Chat messages
• Voice notes
• Separate emails
• Old quotations
• Different artwork files

Product approval

• Bag width
• Bag length
• Thickness
• Bag format
• Seal
• Perforation
• Film color
• Opacity
• Bags per roll
• Core

• Roll diameter

Printing approval

• Artwork version
• Print sides
• Number of colors
• Pantone references
• White ink
• Logo position
• Repeat distance
• Print direction

Packaging approval

• Rolls per pack
• Box, sleeve or outer bag
• Dispenser
• Barcode

• Sample cost
• Packaging cost
• Payment terms
• Lead time
• Shipping term
• Delivery destination

Our broader OEM manufacturing pocess explains how these approvals connect with sampling, production and export preparation.

Quality Control Checklist for Mass Production

Quality control should follow the approved specification.

A general statement such as “good quality” is not enough.

Film and bag QC

Check:

• Bag width
• Bag length
• Thickness
• Individual bag weight
• Film color
• Opacity
• Surface condition

Seal and perforation QC

Check:

• Seal position
• Seal strength
• Leakage
• Tear-line position
• Tear consistency
• Separation between bags
• Damage to the next bag

Finished-roll QC

Check:

• Bags per roll
• Roll height
• Roll diameter
• Core dimensions
• Winding
• First-bag access
• End-of-roll condition

Printing QC

Check:

• Logo position
• Repeat distance
• Print clarity
• Ink adhesion
• Missing print
• Color comparison
• One-side or two-side accuracy
• White-ink coverage

Retail-packaging QC

Check:

• Rolls per pack
• Dispenser quantity
• Box dimensions
• Barcode
• Artwork version
• Certification wording
• Pack closure
• Product arrangement

Export-carton QC

Check:

• Packs per carton
• Carton dimensions
• Net weight
• Gross weight
• Shipping marks
• Carton strength
• Pallet plan where required

Not every project needs the same inspection plan.

The checks should match the product, sales channel and order value.

Confirm Production Tolerances

Mass-produced products normally have reasonable manufacturing tolerances.

The buyer and supplier should agree on the applicable limits before the order is approved.

Possible tolerances include:

• Bag-width tolerance
• Bag-length tolerance
• Thickness tolerance
• Bag-weight tolerance
• Print-position tolerance
• Color tolerance
• Roll-diameter tolerance
• Carton-weight tolerance
• Quantity tolerance

Do not assume that the digital design file represents a zero-tolerance physical product.

Ask the supplier to state the production tolerances that apply to the project.

Where one dimension is critical, such as maximum roll diameter for a dispenser, identify it clearly in the approved specification.

MOQ and Cost Checklist

MOQ is not based on one factor.

What affects MOQ?

The private label dog poop bag MOQ may depend on:

• Bag size
• Thickness
• Film color
• Printing
• Number of SKUs
• Bags per roll
• Rolls per pack
• Retail packaging
• Certification
• Total film weight

Different specifications may not be combined into one MOQ without factory approval.

For example:

• Green and black bags may require separate production.
• Two different thicknesses may be separate specifications.
• Two print designs may need different plates.
• Retail boxes may have their own MOQ.

Items with separate MOQs

Confirm whether the following have separate minimum quantities:

• Custom printed bags
• Custom film color
• Printed retail box
• Printed outer bag
• Paper sleeve
• Custom dispenser
• Dispenser logo
• Display carton

Costs that may be missed

An early unit price may not include every project cost.

Check:

• Printing plates
• Custom sampling
• Packaging prototype
• Barcode labels
• Dispenser
• Export carton
• Pallet
• Inspection
• International shipping
• Customs
• Local delivery

For more detail, review our OEM MOQ an lead time guide.

MOQ and cost checklist

• Bag MOQ confirmed
• MOQ unit clearly defined
• Packaging MOQ confirmed
• Dispenser MOQ confirmed
• Plate cost confirmed
• Sample cost confirmed
• Carton cost included
• Pallet cost checked
• Shipping term confirmed
• Local charges considered

Confirm the Lead Time and Launch Schedule

Production does not normally begin when the first inquiry is sent.

Before production starts, the project may need:

• Quotation approval
• Deposit
• Final specification
• Final artwork
• Plate confirmation
• Sample approval
• Packaging approval
• Certification review

Work backward from the launch date

Use the required warehouse-delivery date as the starting point.

Then plan backward:

1. Warehouse delivery
2. Customs and local delivery
3. International shipping
4. Mass production
5. Retail-packaging production
6. Sample approval
7. Artwork preparation

Shipping time is separate from production time.

A 25-day production period does not mean the cartons will arrive at the customer’s warehouse in 25 days.

Allow extra time for:

• Artwork changes
• Sample approval
• Peak seasons
• Customs
• Port delays
• Warehouse appointments

Lead-time checklist

• Required warehouse date confirmed
• Production lead time confirmed
• Packaging lead time confirmed
• Sample time included
• Artwork time included
• Shipping time included
• Customs and local delivery included
• Peak-season risk considered

Packing, Carton and Shipping Checklist

Carton planning should begin before the final order is packed.

The packaging structure affects freight cost, handling and warehouse acceptance.

Confirm:

• Retail packs per carton
• Rolls per carton
• Carton dimensions
• Net weight
• Gross weight
• Carton material
• Shipping marks
• Pallet use
• Pallet dimensions
• Maximum carton weight
• Destination port or warehouse
• Trade term

Common trade terms

The quotation may use:

• EXW
• FOB
• CIF
• DDP

The buyer should understand which costs are included.

Do not compare an EXW price with a DDP price as though they represent the same delivery scope.

Amazon and e-commerce projects

Where applicable, confirm:

• FNSKU
• Unit barcode
• Carton label
• Unit dimensions
• Unit weight
• Carton quantity
• Carton weight
• Case-pack rules
• Warehouse address
• Current platform requirements

Platform requirements can change. The buyer should provide the current instructions before final packing.

Packing and shipping checklist

• Packs per carton confirmed
• Carton dimensions confirmed
• Net weight confirmed
• Gross weight confirmed
• Carton material approved
• Shipping marks approved
• Pallet requirement confirmed
• Maximum carton weight checked
• Trade term confirmed
• Delivery location confirmed
• Platform labels supplied

Lock the Specification for Repeat Orders

A repeat order should follow an approved specification.

It should not depend on memory or an old email thread.

Keep a controlled record of:

• Product code
• Bag width
• Bag length
• Thickness
• Material formulation
• Film color
• Pantone reference
• Printing file
• Printing plates
• Bags per roll
• Core dimensions
• Roll dimensions
• Packaging artwork
• Carton quantity
• Carton dimensions
• QC requirements

When the product changes, create:

• A new version number
• A new approval date
• A clear change record
• Updated artwork where required

This helps prevent an informal change from becoming a production mistake.

Common Dog Poop Bag OEM Mistakes to Avoid

1. Choosing thickness without testing the finished bag

Micron value alone does not confirm seal strength, opacity or customer experience.

2. Confirming the flat bag size but not the roll size

The bag may be correct while the roll is too large for the dispenser or box.

3. Designing the retail box too early

The box should follow the confirmed product arrangement.

4. Expecting the same Pantone result on film and paper

Different materials can show the same reference color differently.

5. Forgetting white ink on dark film

A pale logo may not appear clearly without a white base.

6. Adding certification logos before checking permission

Certificate scope and logo-use rules should be confirmed before artwork approval.

7. Treating a digital proof as a physical sample

A screen image cannot test film feel, perforation, leakage or roll diameter.

8. Combining different SKUs into one MOQ without approval

Different colors, thicknesses or designs may require separate production.

9. Ignoring carton weight and shipping limits

A large carton may look efficient but become difficult or expensive to handle.

10. Starting production without one approved specification sheet

The factory and buyer should work from the same final document.

FAQ

What information is needed for a dog poop bag OEM quotation?

Provide the destination market, bag size, thickness, film color, printing, bags per roll, packaging type, quantity and delivery destination. Include the dispenser and certification requirements where applicable.

What sample should I order before mass production?

Choose the sample based on what you need to test. A stock sample helps with general material and structure. A custom sample helps confirm size and roll format. A printed sample helps confirm artwork. A packaging prototype helps confirm the retail pack.

Can a digital proof replace a physical sample?

No. A digital proof can confirm layout, text and artwork position. It cannot fully confirm film color, hand feel, opacity, roll diameter, seal performance or packaging strength.

How do I choose the right dog poop bag thickness?

Consider the bag dimensions, material formulation, seal strength, puncture resistance, opacity, roll diameter and customer expectations. Test the finished sample instead of relying only on the micron value.

What affects the MOQ for OEM dog poop bags?

MOQ may be affected by bag size, thickness, film color, printing, number of SKUs, bags per roll, packaging and total film weight.

Should I design the retail box before confirming the roll size?

No. Confirm the roll height, roll diameter, dispenser dimensions and product arrangement first. The box should be designed around the actual product.

What should be checked during dog poop bag quality control?

Common checks include bag dimensions, thickness, seal strength, leakage, perforation, bags per roll, roll dimensions, printing, retail packaging and export cartons.

Can I print compostability logos on private label packaging?

Only after confirming that the product is within the relevant certificate scope and that the brand has permission to use the mark. Sublicensing or other approval may be required.

How should repeat orders be controlled?

Use an approved product specification, artwork version, packaging file and QC record. Record any changes under a new version number.

What information is needed for Amazon FBA packaging?

The buyer should provide the current unit barcode, FNSKU, carton-label, case-pack, size, weight and warehouse requirements before packing.

Start With a Clear Product Brief

A clear product brief helps the buyer and manufacturer identify problems before printing plates, packaging and mass production are approved.

Start with:

• Target market
• Bag size
• Thickness
• Film color
• Printing
• Bags per roll
• Retail pack
• Order quantity
• Certification
• Delivery destination

You do not need to have every technical answer at the first inquiry.

But the missing details should be identified and confirmed before production.
