What is fashion and textile shipping packaging?

Fashion and textile shipping packaging are specialised bags and polybags for fashion e-commerce and textile shipping: polybags for T-shirts and trousers, adhesion seal film pouches for fashion online shipping, premium drawstring bags for high-quality fashion ranges, shoe shipping bags.

The main requirements are low-crease finishing (textiles must not be crushed), shipping efficiency (lightweight materials), branding look (fashion shipping is a brand experience) and reusability (customers often keep the packaging).

Typical materials: OPP 30 microns with an adhesion seal for classic fashion polybags, LDPE 50–100 microns for robust shipping bags, HDPE 25–50 microns for light shipping pouches, cotton and PP non-woven for premium gift packaging and fashion carrier bags.

All materials are certified to EU 10/2011 for direct food contact (relevant for fashion brands with a complementary beauty range).

Material properties of fashion shipping packaging in detail

Fashion shipping packaging combines shipping efficiency, protection against creasing and a branding look. The material choice depends on the product type, shipping distance and brand positioning.

OPP 30 microns with adhesion seal — the fashion polybag standard

Crystal-clear polypropylene film with a self-adhesive flap. The standard solution for fashion online shipping: T-shirts, tops, light fashion ranges. Crystal-clear brilliance for the visual presentation of the garment.

LDPE 50–100 microns — the standard shipping variant

Polyethylene shipping bags with different material thicknesses: 50 microns for light fashion, 70–90 microns for medium-weight ranges, 100 microns for heavy consignments with multiple items.

LDPE 100–150 microns — extra strong

Reinforced material thickness for heavy fashion consignments: coats, winter jackets, boots, shoe ranges, multi-item consignments. Higher tear and puncture resistance for multi-stop logistics.

HDPE 25–50 microns — vest-bag look

High-density polyethylene film with a crinkly look and high tear strength at low material thickness. Material-efficient for light fashion shipping with high unit numbers in the mass market.

Cotton and PP non-woven — the premium standard

For premium fashion brands: cotton and non-woven drawstring bags as a first presentation. OEKO-TEX certified, printable with an embroidered logo finish. Reusable as a storage bag or travel bag in the customer's wardrobe.

Food certification

All materials are certified to EU 10/2011 for direct food contact — important for fashion brands with a complementary food or beauty range (concept stores). Declaration of compliance (PIM) on request.

Custom adaptation – fashion branding and unboxing experience

Fashion shipping packaging is a direct brand carrier in the customer's home — the unboxing experience is central in fashion e-commerce for brand perception and the repeat-order rate.

Printing processes

Printing in flexographic with up to 6 colours on OPP and LDPE polybags. For premium fashion brands, gravure with up to 10 colours for high-resolution photo presentation of brand visuals. Full-surface printing across the entire outside.

Special sizes and format adaptation

Format adaptations freely selectable in width (150–700 mm) and height (180–900 mm). Optimal size classes for fashion sales campaigns: S for T-shirts, M for jumpers, L for coats/jackets, XL for multi-item orders. Advice on shipping-cost optimisation on request.

Fashion-specific options

On request, hanging fashion packaging for tailors and made-to-measure with wrap protection. Adhesive-pad closure for reusable shipping concepts. Euro hole on the polybag for hanging presentation in bricks-and-mortar fashion retail.

We clarify the minimum quantity and lead time individually after your enquiry, from print approval. For fashion start-ups with small runs we recommend unprinted standard goods with adhesive labels as an interim solution. Submit an enquiry.

Sustainability – fashion shipping packaging and fashion sustainability

The fashion industry is under particular sustainability scrutiny — fast fashion and high shipping volumes make the packaging strategy an important element of brand positioning.

Mono-PE and mono-PP — PPWR-compliant

Pure LDPE and OPP polybags are mono-material recyclable in the PE and PP stream respectively. NIR-detectable in German sorting plants, compliant with the RecyClass design guideline. They meet the EU Packaging Regulation from 2030.

Post-consumer recyclate (PCR)

For fashion brands with a sustainability strategy we process PCR recyclate with contents of 30–80%. Slightly cloudier in appearance, technically fully functional. An important lever for fashion brands with extended recycling obligations under the PPWR.

Reusable cotton bags

Premium fashion brands use cotton drawstring bags as reusable packaging with a 50–100-use service life. Ecologically worthwhile from around 10 uses — fashion customers often keep the packaging as a storage or travel bag.

Compostable fashion shipping packaging

On request, kraft paper shipping bags with a PLA coating to EN 13432, industrially compostable. Suitable for sustainable fashion brands and organic textile shipping. More discreet in appearance than classic polybags.

Material efficiency in fashion shipping

The optimal wall-thickness choice is the biggest lever for material reduction. 30 microns OPP is sufficient for light T-shirts, 100 microns LDPE for heavy winter ranges. Blanket over-dimensioned fashion polybags are ecologically and economically counterproductive.
