Samples
Q. Can you send me a sample?
A. We can supply samples of some item please contact us via the live chat or at sales@packagingchimp with your request.
Sizes
Q. What size bag do I need?
A. As a guide to the size of bag you need measure your item, take the length and add the height to this + 50mm and for the width take the width and add the height to this + 20mm.
So if your item was 200mm wide x 300mm long and 50mm deep the bag you need would be (200mm + 50mm + 20mm) = 270mm wide x (300mm + 50mm + 50mm) = 400mm long
