|---|---|---|
| Scenario 1: Not Sure What Pouch Dimension Fits Your 250g Powder or 5ml Serum | Guessing flat width × height without accounting for bulk density (g/cm³) and gusset expansion. | Just tell us your net weight (e.g., '250g roasted coffee beans' or '3ml thick hyaluronic serum')—we pull the exact proven dieline from our 4,000-die library. |
| Scenario 2: Designer Doesn't Know How to Set Up White Ink Underbase or Metallic Spot Layers | Standard graphic designers only work in CMYK for paper printing. | Send us your standard layered .AI or .PDF artwork; our prepress engineers build the 5th-color White Underbase, Metallic Knockout, and Spot Matte Varnish layers for you free of charge. |
| Scenario 3: Urgent Trade Show or Retail Pitch in 12 Days | Standard sea-freight production takes 5–7 weeks. | We run an expedited 5-day HP Indigo digital press batch and ship via 4-day DHL Express Priority so finished pouches are in your hands in 9–10 calendar days. |
