Custom Ziplock Bags

Custom Printed Ziplock Bags with Logo in Clear and Colored Film

What custom ziplock bags are used for

A ziplock bag is a flat plastic bag with a zipper at the top that presses closed and can be opened again. Brands use custom ziplock bags to pack jewelry, samples, cosmetics, hair accessories, hardware, craft supplies, snacks, and small gifts. A clear bag lets the customer see the item, and a printed bag turns a plain polybag into part of your brand. Small ziplock bags suit single items and samples, and larger bags suit sets, apparel, and bundles. Ziplock bags are light, take little space, and keep dust and moisture out while the bag is closed.

Sizes and how to measure

Ziplock bag size is written as width x height. The height is measured from the bottom to the top of the bag, and the zipper sits a little below the top edge. To choose a size, measure your item at its widest point and add room so it slides in easily. Mini ziplock bags, such as 2 in x 3 in, suit earrings, rings, and sample sachets. A 4 in x 6 in bag suits small boxes and cosmetics, and larger bags such as 8 in x 10 in suit sets and flat items. Leave about half an inch below the zipper for the item to sit.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Mini: about 2 in x 3 in
• Small: about 3 in x 4 in
• Medium: about 4 in x 6 in
• Large: about 6 in x 9 in
• Extra large: about 8 in x 10 in

Film, colors, and options

Bags are made from plastic film with a press-to-close zipper. A clear film shows the item, and colored ziplock bags or coloured ziplock bags in white, black, or another color hide the item and make your print stand out. A frosted or matte film gives a softer look. Film thickness sets how firm the bag feels. A thicker film suits sharp items and heavier loads, and a thinner film suits light items and keeps cost down. Options include a hang hole, a tear notch, a vent hole for air, and a white box on the bag where you can write. If you want compostable ziplock bags, tell us during the free consultation. Compostable films work differently from standard plastic, and we confirm the available materials and what they do and do not suit before you order.

Printing and finishing

Custom printed ziplock bags can carry your logo and design in one or two colors for a clean look, or in full color for a bold design. Printed ziplock bags can have the print on one side or both sides, and the print can sit above the zipper, below it, or across the whole bag. Personalized ziplock bags can carry a name, a slogan, a pattern, or a small message. Custom ziplock bags with logo work well as a simple brand mark on a clear bag. Keep text large and clear, because small bags have little room. A white ink layer behind the logo helps the print stand out on a clear film.

Orders from 500 units

Orders start at 500 units, which suits a brand that ships many small items or samples. Bulk ziplock bags cost less per bag than small runs, and they can be planned in several sizes and repeated as sales grow. A single size and a single dieline can be used for several products. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Labeling notes

If your bag holds a product for sale, the bag or an outer label must carry the text that the law requires for your product, such as contents, net weight, and warnings. You supply the text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check label text or claims. Plastic bags can also carry a warning about suffocation risk for children, and you should check what applies to your product and your sizes.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the print area on the front and back of your bag, and the zipper and seal areas where print should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
