Plain or printed packaging: what to order first
02 Nov 2026
Every PlastZero product is available plain or printed. Which should you order first?
Start plain if you are still testing
Plain packaging is unprinted and ideal while you are settling your product range, sizes and volumes. Add a branded sticker, card or stamp to make it feel like yours.
Go printed when your sizes are settled
Printed packaging carries your logo and is the strongest brand touchpoint after the product itself. Once you know the size and volume you need, printing avoids reprints when a size changes.
