FAQ

Common questions before you start

What types of custom compostable packaging can Zero Pack make?

Zero Pack works across a broad range of custom compostable packaging applications. These can include custom mailers, shopping and carry bags, garment packaging, food-packaging formats, protective and padded packaging, flexible packaging, layflat tubing, campaign packaging and bespoke formats developed for a particular product or application. The best starting point is usually to tell us what you need the packaging to do rather than choosing from a fixed catalogue.

Can you help replace packaging we currently buy in plastic?

Absolutely. If you’re currently using conventional plastic packaging, show us what you use now or tell us what the packaging needs to do. We’ll work with you to understand the product, application and performance requirements, then explore the best compostable solution for your business. If it’s easier to talk it through, book a 30-minute packaging consultation and we can work through the opportunity together.

What information do you need to get started?

You can start with as much or as little as you have. Tell us what you’re packaging, show us what you use now, send us a photo or sample, or simply share the idea you’re working on. Rough dimensions, quantities and artwork are helpful if you have them, but you don’t need a finished brief before getting in touch. Even if you only have an idea, we’re here to work through it with you and help find the right solution. Prefer to talk it through? Book a 30-minute packaging consultation.

What quantities do custom packaging projects usually require?

Custom production quantities depend on the packaging format, material, dimensions, print and specification. For custom mailers, around 2,000 units is a common practical starting point. Other packaging formats can have different production requirements, which we confirm during quoting.

Can you help with artwork and design?

Yes. We can help prepare or adapt artwork for production and work through print placement, sizing and other practical requirements as part of the development and approval process. You do not need finished production artwork before contacting us.

Can you provide certification information?

Yes. All Zero Pack compostable packaging is certified. For the UK, our home-compostable packaging is certified to both OK compost HOME and AS 5810, while our industrial-compostable packaging is certified to OK compost INDUSTRIAL. This gives UK customers the reassurance of TÜV Austria’s OK compost certification alongside the additional requirements of the Australian AS 5810 home-compostability standard. The exact certification depends on the material and type of packaging being produced, and we’ll confirm the relevant certification for your project.

Is Zero Pack compostable packaging PFAS-free and BPA-free?

Yes. All Zero Pack compostable packaging is PFAS-free and BPA-free. Additionally, our home-compostable packaging certified to AS 5810 undergoes worm-toxicity testing as part of the certification requirements, providing further assurance that it can compost without leaving harmful residues that are toxic to earthworms or compost.

How long does custom packaging take?

Timing depends on the packaging format, specification, print requirements, production schedule, freight method and destination. We confirm the expected production and delivery timing as part of the quote rather than presenting one universal lead time.

Do you deliver to the UK?

Yes. Zero Pack supplies custom packaging to UK customers. Freight, shipping method and expected delivery timing are confirmed during quoting based on the packaging specification and destination.

What do you need to package?

Whether you already know the format or simply know what the packaging needs to achieve, start there.

Tell us about the product, the packaging you use now and what you would like to improve. We will work with you to explore the custom compostable packaging options and the most practical next step.
