FAQs
BIO-CASSAVA BAG
It is made from cassava starch and vegetable oil derivatives as an sustainable alternative to traditional plastic bag.
The ink for the printing logo is alcohol based, heavy metal free, non-toxic and eco-friendly.
The bag will get soften and break easily if it has direct contact with normal temperature water and could dissolve in hot temperature water above 90 degrees Celsius. This is to show the worst case scenario if the bags ended up in landfill, river or ocean it will cause no harm to any living beings. Though, the best end-of-life scenario for the bag is to compost it.
The main purpose of the bag is to carry stuff and/or as multifunction bag. The bag has passed Oral Toxicity Test but please note that this test can’t be compared in any way to food regulatory test, thus this product is not considered as food or beverage.
The shelf life is up to 2 years if stored in its original-sealed protective PE packing. Once the PE packing is opened, the shelf life of cassava bags shortens to months (less than 1 year) when stored in ideal storage condition.
Calculation will be based on bag’s width x length x thickness.
The maximum width of bag (including gusset) is 60 cm, maximum length is 100 cm.
*We can accommodate production of bag with width up to 90 cm and length up to 160 cm, without print.
*Due to technicality during the making of printing cylinder, we are unable to accommodate bag with width ranging from 33 cm – 37 cm.
The minimum micron thickness is 40 micron, the maximum micron thickness for bag without
gusset is 100 micron while the bag with gusset the maximum micron is 50.
Yes, you can customize the size and design according to your needs. Measurement will be based on bag’s width x length x micron thickness. The price will depend on the bag’s specification.
You can purchase at minimum one carton. One carton consists 500-2.000 pcs of bags. It depends on the bag type and size.
10.000 pcs/size/design/color.

Available printing colors:
A Printing cylinder is needed for each ink color printed on each side of the bag (maximum 2 ink colors), example:
- Two colors, one side: 2 cylinders needed
- One color, two sides: 2 cylinders needed
- One color, one side: 1 cylinder needed
Printing cylinder is a chromed cylinder with final customized de sign on it and it is needed to print
the logo/design onto the bag. Printing process will be done at the same time during bags production process. One cylinder can be used up to 70.000 – 100.000 pcs as long as the bags are of the same size and the same design.
The cylinder pricing depends on width and length of the bag, our sales team will assist you for the cylinder cost information.
Considering the raw materials used for the cassava bags are bio-based, the consistency of quality
is a challenge that we continually improve at any time. For this reason, a deviation of 5-10% can
occur in the results of bag colors and the printing colors.
