Model No.: FH-021
Brand: FENGHAI
Japanese and Korean retail environments reward brands that get attention. Convenience stores, department store basements, and e-commerce shelves are densely packed with limited editions and character collaborations. Standard rectangular bags blend in and consumers scroll past. Our shaped pouches help brands cut through: a die-cut contour that follows a character, product shape, or seasonal theme, so the bag itself becomes the recognition signal. As a Three Dimensional Special Shaped Packaging format, a custom shaped pouch goes beyond a predictable Stand Up Pouch or a structurally rigid Octagonal Seal Bag, working across supermarkets, convenience stores (7-Eleven, FamilyMart, CU, GS25), and e-commerce in Japan and South Korea.

Q: Can you reproduce licensed character artwork on shaped bags? A: We work from approved design files provided by the brand or license holder. Our rotogravure printing supports fine detail required for character artwork. Please share your approved artwork files and any brand guidelines, and our team will advise on layout and printability.
Q: How fast can you produce small runs for Japanese and Korean limited editions? A: We accept small batch orders for market testing and limited editions. Minimum order quantities depend on shape complexity and bag size. Lead time depends on your specification and artwork approval—please contact us with your timeline and volume for a specific estimate.
Q: What other packaging formats work alongside shaped bags in Japan and Korea? A: For high-volume snack lines on roll stock, Three Side Seal Bag formats are more cost-effective. For dry products needing shelf standing, a stand up pouch or octagonal seal bag offers proven presence. For daily chemical and cosmetic refill products, we also supply Daily Chemical Pack formats. Our team can help you choose the right format for each product line.
Please share your product type, target market (Japan and/or Korea), desired shape reference, and expected volume. Our team will review your artwork, recommend material options, and provide a detailed quotation.
