For most clothing, a printed ziplock bag is the usual starting point, and stand-up, flat-bottom or die-cut bags suit retail display and gift sets.
Apparel packaging has to do three jobs: keep dust and moisture off the garment, carry your branding, and fit your packing method. Ziplock bags suit folded garments that customers open and re-close. Stand-up and flat-bottom bags suit small items that sit on a shelf or peg. Roll stock film suits brands that pack on automatic form-fill-seal lines.
We make every style in custom size, material and artwork. Printing, lamination and bag making run in our own cleanroom plant in Shenzhen, so the structure we recommend is one we produce ourselves. Send us the garment type, folded size and quantity, and we will quote a bag type and itemize the price.

What you can specify on a clothing bag
Print and artwork
We print digitally or by gravure, with 9-color printing in house. Finished files are reproduced as supplied. If you only have an idea or a reference photo, our design team lays it out for free. The number of colors affects price and is itemized on the quote.
Closures and extras
Zipper, window, hang hole and tear notch are available on suitable styles. Each extra adds to the unit price and is listed as its own line, so you can see what it costs.
Materials
Options include kraft paper laminate, Mylar and aluminum foil laminate for a premium look. Foil and Mylar bags are not recyclable. Garments rarely need a foil barrier, so we recommend the lighter structure first.
Checked before packing
Production runs in a cleanroom with 30+ printing and converting machines. Each order goes through 11 quality checks before packing.
Which bag series fits which garment?
Choose by how the garment is packed, displayed and opened.
Ziplock bags for folded garments
Ziplock is the most common choice for T-shirts, underwear, socks, baby clothing and similar folded items. The zipper lets the customer open and re-close the bag, and the bag ships flat, so it stores and packs compactly. We make them in custom sizes. Size the bag to the folded garment with a little room for the zipper, and send us the folded dimensions so the quote matches your packing.
Stand-up and flat-bottom bags for retail display
Stand-up pouches stand on a shelf with a zipper, window or tear notch, and suit small folded items, rolled goods or accessories. Flat-bottom bags have a box-like base and a larger printed front panel. They suit gift sets and premium items where shelf impact matters. Both styles give full-print branding. They take more film than a flat ziplock, so the unit price is usually higher.
Die-cut shapes and roll stock film
Fancy-shape (die-cut) bags are cut to a custom outline. They are used for kids' products and suit children's clothing and gift packs, where the bag shape is part of the product. Roll stock film is for brands with form-fill-seal lines. The film is printed and supplied on rolls, with a MOQ of 100 kg. If you pack by hand, a pre-made bag is usually simpler.
If two bag types would both work, we recommend one in writing, with the reason.
Where are these bags used in the apparel trade?
Basics and multipacks
Socks, underwear and T-shirts, packed folded in printed ziplock bags. Digital print at 1,000 pcs per design lets you run many size or color variants.

Clothing bag questions buyers ask
- What is the smallest order for printed clothing bags?
- 1,000 pcs per design with digital print. Gravure starts at 10,000 pcs per design and gives the lowest unit price on repeat orders. Choose digital if you have several designs or are testing a range.
- Can I get a sample before ordering?
- Yes. We send free similar bags so you can check size, feel and fit. You pay the courier.
- Do I need finished artwork?
- No. Our design team can lay out the bag from an idea or a reference photo at no charge. If you already have files, we reproduce them as supplied.
- How do I choose between a ziplock bag and a stand-up pouch?
- Use ziplock for folded garments that ship flat and are re-closed by the customer. Use stand-up for small items you want on a shelf. Send us the garment and your packing method and we will recommend one in writing.
- Which documents can you provide?
- We hold ISO 9001 and ISO 22000, and our PE film is tested to FDA 21 CFR food-contact requirements. We are also BSCI-audited, and audited by Disney. Documents can be viewed on our website, and copies are sent with the quote.
