Custom Spice Bags printed for a UK food business

Printed Paper Bags

Custom Spice Packaging Bags

Spices are sold in small quantities and used a pinch at a time, so a bag is opened dozens of times over months. Reseal quality matters more than almost anything else.

Ground spices also lose their aroma quickly once air gets to them, which the barrier has to slow down.

Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Spice Bags

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Sleeve colour

Name on the pack

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Opened Many Times, Over a Long Period

Unlike most food packaging, a spice bag has a long working life. A reseal that stops holding after ten openings is a real problem for the customer.

That argues for a proper closure rather than a fold-over top, even at small pack sizes.

Tea faces a similar preservation problem, covered on packaging with the same aroma requirements.

Small Pack Considerations

A bag that stands up, so it can sit in a cupboard rather than lie flat.
A reseal that survives repeated use over months.
Space for ingredients, weight and best-before information on a small face.
A barrier against moisture, which cakes ground spice solid.

The printed face on a small bag fills up quickly, so plan the required information before the design.

Ordering, Artwork and Delivery

Getting a Quote

Measure the item, then add enough on each side to fold and tuck. We reply with a written specification, the minimum order quantity and the lead time for your job.

Artwork

One or two colours reproduce most reliably on an absorbent stock. Full file requirements are set out in our artwork guidelines.

Turnaround

Lead times depend on the print method, run length and press schedule, so we confirm yours on the quote rather than publishing a single figure.

Delivery in the UK

Orders are dispatched on national carriers to any UK address. Seedelivery information for how dates are given.

Custom Spice Bags: Common Questions

Do spice bags need to stand up?

It helps a great deal in a kitchen cupboard, where a flat bag disappears under everything else. A standing bag is easier to find and easier to pour from.

How much information has to fit on a small bag?

More than most people plan for — ingredients, weight, best-before and business details all have to be legible. Lay out the required panel before designing the front.

Should spice bags stand up?

It helps a great deal in a kitchen cupboard, where a flat bag disappears. A standing bag is easier to find and pour from.

How much information has to fit?

More than most people plan for on a small face — ingredients, weight, best-before and business details, all legible.

Why does the reseal matter so much?

Because a spice bag is opened dozens of times over months. A closure that stops holding after ten uses is a real problem.

Do ground spices need more protection?

They lose aroma faster than whole spices once air reaches them, which is what the barrier is slowing down.

Will moisture cake the spice?

It will without a barrier. Caking is the most common complaint and it is a packaging problem rather than a product one.

Can we run several spices in one order?

On digital printing, yes, and a range is the normal case. Send the quantity of each.

What size suits retail?

Small, matched to your price bands. Spices are sold in modest quantities and used a pinch at a time.

Should there be a window?

It shows the colour, which sells a spice. It also lets light in, so many brands print an image of the product instead.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
