Custom & Private Label Project Questions
What information should I provide to start a custom or private label review?
Start with the intended application, product or bin size, preferred specifications, packaging direction, expected volume, target customer channel and delivery location. Artwork, colour references or existing product samples can also be shared where available.
What customisation options are available for compostable bags?
Custom reviews may cover product format, dimensions, gauge, seal structure, roll configuration, printing, colour, labels, retail or wholesale packaging and private label presentation. Final options depend on the intended application, expected volume, manufacturing feasibility and applicable certification scope.
Does every custom project require a completely new product specification?
Not necessarily. A project may begin with the closest suitable existing format and then review the changes needed for size, print, packaging, branding or supply configuration. The most practical pathway is confirmed during the feasibility review.
How is certification handled for custom and private label projects?
Guarden’s current compostable liner range is certified to AS 4736 and AS 5810. Proposed changes to product specifications, artwork, packaging wording and certification logo use are reviewed against the applicable certification scope. Relevant certification and product documentation can be provided for the confirmed product and project pathway.
Can product or packaging samples be reviewed before production?
Samples may be reviewed where appropriate once the product and packaging requirements are sufficiently clear. The sample type, availability, cost, freight and timing depend on the project scope and can be confirmed during the feasibility and quotation review.
When are MOQ, lead time and pricing confirmed?
MOQ, lead time and pricing are confirmed after the product specification, printing, packaging, expected volume, sample requirements and delivery arrangements are sufficiently clear. These factors can vary by project, so they should not be assumed before the feasibility and quotation review is complete.
Can Guarden support a distributor-led customer project?
Yes. Guarden can support product, packaging, certification and feasibility review behind a distributor-led sales process, while the distributor retains the commercial relationship with its customer. The working arrangement should be agreed at the start of the project.
