Compostable Custom Printed Packaging
Pure Compostables manufactures custom-printed packaging for B2B brands, e-commerce sellers, and hospitality groups that want their logo on every piece of compostable packaging. Material formulations are built around plant-based kraft paper, PLA, and paper. Stocked sizes include 10 oz, 12 oz, 14 oz, and 16 oz.
What sets our custom-printed packaging apart
- End-to-end compostable print. Inks and substrates BOTH compost — no greenwashing risk from petroleum-based inks on otherwise compostable packaging.
- Flexo and digital both supported. Flexo for high-volume runs (low cost-per-unit); digital for short-run, multi-SKU, or seasonal artwork.
- Pantone-matched brand colors. Match-print proofs before production lock.
- Art-file proofing process. Two rounds of artwork review before plates are committed.

Certifications and compliance
Compostability claims are backed by certification from BPI, TUV Austria, DIN CERTCO, and (where applicable) ABA for Australia and New Zealand. We test against ASTM D6400 — 90% biodegradation in 180 days, full disintegration in 84 days, ecotoxicity, and heavy-metal limits — before any SKU ships. Our team holds the certificates internally and can supply documentation on request.

OEM, private label, and bulk orders
Our OEM and ODM workflow runs in parallel to stock SKU sales. You send vector artwork (PDF/AI) at print resolution; we return a digital proof for sign-off. For flexo runs, a physical match-print proof goes out before plates are committed. Lead time is typically 4–6 weeks from final artwork approval through production. We document spec sheets, certificates of analysis, and chain-of-custody for compliance.
Frequently asked questions about custom-printed packaging
What’s the typical MOQ for printed runs?
5,000 units is the standard floor; some SKUs require 10,000+ for cost efficiency. Digital printing supports 1,000-unit short runs at higher per-unit cost.
How does the artwork approval process work?
You provide vector artwork (PDF/AI) at print resolution. We send a digital proof for sign-off. For flexo runs, we then send a match-print physical proof before plates are committed.

Yes — water-based and UV inks both food-safe and compostable. Standards: BPI / EN 13432 inks compatible.
Can I get Pantone color-matched prints?
Yes — Pantone-matched, with match-print proofs before production lock.
What’s the lead time?
4–6 weeks from artwork approval. Container shipments add 4–6 weeks ocean freight.
