Custom Zipper Bags for Clothing
Custom zipper bags with your logo give apparel brands a resealable bag that works as packaging, display and brand mark at once. Built from frosted, clear or opaque film and sized to your folded garment, they replace the generic poly bag that makes a good shirt look like stock. Minimum order is 100 units per style, with a digital proof before anything is printed.

Choose the Closure Before the Artwork
The closure decides how the bag is used, so settle it first. We build four:
- Slide zipper: a rigid slider on the track that opens and reseals one-handed. The right choice when customers will reuse the bag, because that keeps your logo in their hands after the garment is out.
- Press-seal zip: an interlocking rib closure with a flat profile and a lower cost per unit. It suits online volume, where the bag is opened once and the unit price matters.
- Gusseted zipper bag: an expandable side or bottom panel for hoodies and knitwear that would strain a flat bag.
- Hang-hole bag: a Euro-slot or round punch at the top, for pegs and boutique wall displays.
If the same garment ships online and also hangs in a shop, those are two different bags. Many brands order a press-seal version for web orders and a hang-hole version for retail, each as its own style.
Print That Works on Frosted Film
Frosted film changes how colour reads, because the garment shows through as a soft shape behind your artwork. A dark logo on a light garment is easy to read. A light logo over a dark garment is not, which is why white ink is worth testing on frosted film as well as on opaque film, where a white logo on a solid colour bag is the classic apparel look.
You can print the front, the back or both sides, with ink matched to your brand colours in CMYK or Pantone. Leave clear space beside the zipper track so the closure does not cut through the artwork. Each finish changes how print colours read, so we confirm your artwork against the film you have chosen before full production.
Fold First, Then Size the Bag
Bag size follows the fold, and teams fold differently. Before ordering, standardise it: choose one fold for tees and one for hoodies, then measure each folded garment at its widest and thickest points. Knitwear folds to a very different depth from a cotton tee, so if one bag has to cover both, ordering two sizes usually beats one compromise.
Leave enough room that the garment slides in easily. A bag that fights its contents rarely closes cleanly over the zip. The simplest route is to send a folded sample and we size the bag to it.
One Bag, Two Jobs: Shipping and Shelf
For online orders the bag sits inside the outer shipper, so its job is the first thirty seconds after unboxing, when the branding does the work. Pair it with a custom mailer box and the customer opens a branded box and then a branded bag.
In a shop the bag is the first thing a customer touches, and it can carry the product line name and care details so there is less to fit on a hang tag. If you also sell accessories or gifts, custom paper bags and kraft paper bags carry the same branding through checkout.
Ordering Zipper Bags
Tell us the garment type, folded dimensions, closure, film finish and print colours, and roughly how many bags you need. We quote within 24 hours, then build the layout and a digital proof at no charge, and nothing is printed until you approve it. Production is 10-15 business days from approval, 8-10 on a rush, minimum 100 units per style, with free shipping across the USA and no plate or setup fees. See our retail packaging boxes, the full range by style, or request a quote.
Custom Zipper Bags for Clothing — FAQs
Got questions? We have answers. If you need anything else, get in touch.
Yes. Frosted film is the usual choice for clothing, and your logo can be printed on the front, the back or both sides in CMYK or matched Pantone colours. The minimum is 100 bags per style, and you approve a digital proof before anything is printed.
Usually, yes. Several US states require a warning on plastic bags above a certain size, and most retailers and marketplaces require one regardless of where you ship. Tell us which markets and stockists you are selling into and we will place the warning and any vent holes before the artwork is finalised.
Frosted is the usual choice for apparel: the garment reads as a soft shape rather than a product on display, and printed artwork sits well against it. Clear shows colour and fabric exactly, which suits shade-matched items. Opaque conceals the contents entirely and gives you the full surface to print on.
A folded tee sits comfortably in roughly 250 x 300mm and a hoodie in about 350 x 450mm, though it depends on how tightly your team folds. Send us a folded sample and we will size to it, since a bag cut too close will not close over the zip and one cut loose looks slack on the shelf.
The film is LDPE, which is widely recycled through store drop-off points rather than curbside collection. Printing a short line telling the customer that is more useful than a general recycling symbol, and it is the honest version of the claim.
