For manufacturers and brand owners, choosing packaging involves more than selecting a bag shape or printing design. Material structure, barrier performance, sealing properties, opening methods, product compatibility, and production requirements all influence the final packaging solution.

Recognizing these requirements, Heshan Zhongxing Laminated Packing Co., Ltd. presented its customized flexible packaging capabilities at PACK EXPO International 2026, held from October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago, USA. Located at West Building, Booth W-50060, Zhongxing introduced different packaging formats and customization options to international industry visitors.

With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, the company continues to provide flexible packaging solutions for businesses with different product characteristics and market positioning.

Material Selection Based on Product Requirements

Different products require different levels of protection. Packaging for dry snacks may prioritize moisture resistance, while coffee products often require additional protection against oxygen and moisture to help preserve freshness and aroma.

Zhongxing offers multiple laminated material structures, including PET/PE, PET/VMPET/PE, PET/NY/PE, PET/AL/PE, and other combinations.

The selection of materials depends on several factors, including the physical characteristics of the packaged product, required shelf life, storage environment, transportation conditions, and packaging equipment compatibility.

For products requiring stronger barrier performance, aluminum foil and metallized film structures can be considered. For other applications, transparent or customized laminated structures may provide a suitable balance between appearance, protection, and functionality.

Material selection is therefore an important starting point in developing customized flexible packaging.

Flexible Designs and Functional Customization

Beyond material structures, Zhongxing provides various pouch styles and functional features to support different product applications.

Customers can choose stand-up pouches, flat-bottom bags, side-gusset pouches, three-side seal bags, quad-seal bags, and Spout Pouches according to their packaging requirements.

Additional customization options include:

• Closure Systems: Regular zippers, slider zippers, pocket zippers, and Velcro zipper designs.

• Opening Features: Laser scoring and easy-tear structures for convenient access.

• Visual Presentation: Custom printing, shaped windows, and hot foil stamping.

• Product-Specific Functions: Coffee degassing valves, handles, and specialized sealing designs.

These options help businesses develop packaging that reflects their brand identity while meeting practical requirements throughout storage, distribution, and consumer use.

Digital and Gravure Printing for Different Orders

Printing is another important consideration in packaging development. Zhongxing supports both gravure printing and digital printing to accommodate different customization requirements.

Gravure printing is suitable for established packaging designs and larger production quantities. Digital printing provides flexibility for customized designs and smaller production batches.

According to the product specifications published by Zhongxing, digital printing orders can start from 100 pieces, while gravure printing orders generally start from 10,000 pieces. Actual order requirements depend on the product type and specifications.

This flexibility gives customers more options when testing new designs, introducing new products, or arranging established packaging programs.

From Packaging Development to Manufacturing

A successful packaging project requires coordination between design specifications and manufacturing requirements. Material selection, pouch dimensions, printing artwork, functional accessories, and sealing performance should all be considered before mass production.

Zhongxing supports OEM and ODM customization, helping customers develop packaging based on their product and market requirements.

Following its participation in PACK EXPO International 2026, Zhongxing will continue communicating with international customers and exploring customized packaging opportunities.

With an extensive product portfolio and more than three decades of industry experience, the company aims to support brands and manufacturers in developing flexible packaging solutions that combine functionality, product protection, and brand presentation.
