Polypropylene Bags: Engineering Customization for Global Brands

The Customization Conundrum: Why 68% of Brands Struggle with Packaging Consistency

In an era where 68% of consumer brands report packaging inconsistencies damaging brand equity (Smithers Pira 2024), polypropylene bags have emerged as the critical solution for visual and functional customization. At VidePak, we’ve engineered these systems to achieve 99.6% color match accuracy across 22 global production facilities. Our 568-strong team, averaging 18 years of packaging engineering experience, operates at the material science frontier, creating polypropylene bags that outperform industry benchmarks across 19 critical performance metrics.
