What's the minimum order quantity for custom bar wrappers?
Digital printing: 5,000 wrappers minimum. Flexographic printing: 100,000 minimum (better unit cost for established brands). Most startups order 10K-25K digital to test market, then switch to flexo for core SKUs at 50K+ monthly volume.
Do I need a grease-resistant wrapper for nut-based bars?
Yes. Standard wrappers will show oil staining from almonds, peanuts, cashews within 1-2 months. Use grease-resistant coatings (wax, or PVOH-based) or metallized films. For chocolate-coated bars, add moisture barrier to prevent bloom (white spots).
Can I use compostable wrappers for protein bars?
Yes, but with trade-offs. BPI-certified compostable films (PLA-based) work well for dry bars (6-9 month shelf life). Limitations: higher cost (+30-50%), lower puncture resistance, not suitable for hot-fill or frozen products. Best for: oat bars, fruit bars, granola bars sold at farmers markets or Whole Foods.
What's the difference between flow wrap and pillow pack?
Flow wrap (HFFS): Horizontal wrapper sealed on sides and ends, fed through automated machines (fast, low labor, 200+ bars/min). Best for: high-volume production. Pillow pack: Vertical wrapper sealed at top (VFFS), often hand-filled (slower, 50-100 bars/min). Best for: artisanal brands, small batches, irregular shapes.
Do you print inner wrappers for multi-pack boxes?
Yes. We support both individual flow wrappers (for single-bar retail) and simplified inner wrappers for multi-packs (e.g., 12-count variety pack boxes). Inner wrappers can be plain with minimal branding (cheaper) or full-color printed (premium). Specify during design.
