Branded Packaging Bags With Claims You Can Defend
For DTC and retail brands, the bag is a media channel — and every sustainability line printed on it is a legal claim. LiHai manufactures custom printed branded packaging on a vertically integrated base: own recycled resin, own film, own 10-colour printing. That means colour consistency across re-orders and recycled-content documentation your legal team can stand behind. From 500 pcs per design, samples in 3–5 working days.
The pain point
Brand Colour Drift and Undefended Claims
Two recurring failures in branded packaging: re-orders arrive off-colour against the brand book, and “made with recycled materials” printed on the bag cannot be substantiated when a retailer or regulator asks. Both originate in fragmented supply chains.
Our solution
One Chain From Resin to Artwork
We control the full chain: 2 pelletizing lines produce the recycled resin, 2 film-blowing lines produce the substrate, 8 printing presses (up to 10 colours) reproduce your artwork. The approved sample is retained as the production reference; recycled content is declared per shipment under GRS, not asserted from marketing copy.
| Printing | Up to 10 colours, matched to approved retained sample |
|---|---|
| Recycled content | 30%–100% post-consumer, per claim requirement |
| Film / Slitting | 50–80 µm typical · 800–1300 mm |
| MOQ / Volume tiers | 500 pcs per design · 5,000 / 20,000 / 100,000 pcs |
| Sampling | 3–5 working days, free on standard lines; NDA available for custom development |

Case study
UK Retail Brand Programme (Anonymised)
A brand supplying a large UK supermarket chain moved its printed packaging to LiHai to consolidate claims and colour control. On-pack recycled-content statements are now backed by GRS transaction certificates per shipment, and each re-order is printed against the retained approved sample. The buyer receives certification packs within 24 hours for retailer compliance requests, and orders scale across the 5,000–100,000 pcs tiers by season.
