FAQs
Are these real cellophane bags?
No. They're made from food-grade polypropylene, often referred to as "cello" bags in retail. Polypropylene provides a clearer, glossier finish and reliable heat seals.
What's the minimum order for printing?
Our minimum order is 1,000 bags — one of the lowest MOQs in the UK for printed food-grade packaging.
Can you print on both sides?
Yes — we can print on the front and back of the bag.
How many colours can I use?
Up to 3 colours per design. Available colours include black, white, red, green, blue, metallic silver and metallic gold.
Can you help with artwork and barcodes?
Absolutely. We can create layouts from your text and generate unique barcode numbers if needed.
Can I buy unprinted bags while I wait for my printed order?
Yes — our clear cello bags are the same food-grade polypropylene and available to buy now in packs of 50 or bulk boxes.
