Product Description
Your bag is often the first physical touchpoint a buyer has with your brand. In commodity markets — rice, fertiliser, animal feed, flour — where product quality differences are invisible before purchase, packaging design is frequently the primary purchase driver at the wholesale and retail level. A professionally printed, high-definition laminated PP bag signals quality, builds brand recognition, and justifies premium pricing.
At Tam Tam Packaging, our custom printed laminated PP woven bag combines our in-house printing expertise with BOPP and standard lamination technology. From simple two-colour trade bags to full photographic BOPP retail bags, we produce the print quality your brand demands — with consistent colour reproduction, on-time delivery, and competitive pricing at the volumes global brands require.

Why Choose This Bag?
- Rotogravure BOPP printing delivers photographic resolution — gradients, skin tones, and product photography reproduce faithfully
- Reverse-print process protects ink under the BOPP film — no scuffing or fading during shipping and retail handling
- In-house design support available — our prepress team can adapt existing artwork or guide new designs for bag dimensions
- Consistent Pantone colour matching across production runs — essential for brand integrity
- Short lead times on reprint orders — once plates and approvals are complete, reorders ship in 20–25 days
| 💡 BUYER TIP: For BOPP rotogravure printing, order all your bag sizes simultaneously in the first production run — rotogravure cylinder costs are a one-time investment, so producing multiple sizes together significantly reduces the per-unit plate cost. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: I have existing bag artwork — what file format and specifications do you need?
Please provide: AI, PDF, or EPS files (vector format); all text converted to outlines; Pantone colour codes for each colour (not CMYK); bleed of 5 mm on all edges; and a brief noting any critical colour-match requirements (e.g., brand colours). Our prepress team will confirm the file is production-ready within 2 business days.
Q2: What is the typical lead time from artwork approval to first shipment?
For a first-time BOPP order (new artwork, new client): 35–45 days from artwork approval to FOB dispatch. This includes plate/cylinder production (10–14 days), production run (15–20 days), and quality inspection (2–3 days). Reorders ship in 20–25 days. Rush production is available for an additional charge.
Q3: Can I order different sizes of the same bag design?
Yes, and we recommend it. Offering 5 kg, 10 kg, and 25 kg bags with a consistent design creates a branded product family that increases shelf recognition. Print plates/cylinders can often be adapted across sizes with minimal cost. Advise us of all required sizes at the design stage for the most cost-effective plate strategy.
Q4: Do you offer white-label (unbranded) bags for retailers who want to add their own label?
Yes. We produce plain laminated bags with a designated label-application zone — a white unprinted patch on one or both faces where a pressure-sensitive label can be applied. This is a popular choice for retailers with multiple SKUs who want to keep bag inventory flexible while maintaining a professional appearance.
