OPP
Custom printed OPP bags in clear, glossy film from 30 microns, made to your measurements and printed up to 8 colours. Plastik Malaysia has supplied flexible packaging to Malaysian businesses since 2015.
An OPP bag is chosen when the product needs to be seen, not hidden. The film is clear and glossy rather than opaque, so whatever sits inside stays fully visible on a hanger, a shelf or in a customer’s hand. Plastik Malaysia supplies custom printed OPP bags to Malaysian businesses that sell through visible packaging: clothing labels, stationery and craft sellers, and gift or bakery brands that use a glossy pack as part of the presentation.
OPP earns its place when a customer needs to see the product before deciding, or when the pack itself is part of the perceived value, such as a folded shirt, a printed card set or a bakery gift box. It is the wrong choice when the product should not be visible, when it needs to hold liquid, or when it needs to stretch around an irregular shape. In those cases a resealable pouch or a stretch film is the better fit, and we will say so rather than sell an OPP bag that does not suit the job.
OPP stands for oriented polypropylene. It is a plastic film stretched during manufacturing so that it becomes clearer, stiffer and glossier than an ordinary polypropylene or polyethylene film. That stretching is what gives an OPP bag its characteristic shine and near-glass clarity, which is why it is the standard choice whenever a product needs to be seen clearly through the packaging rather than guessed at.
Every OPP job is made to your size rather than picked from a stock chart. The specification below is our standard for custom printed OPP bags, and the exact size, finish and print treatment are set by your product and your artwork.
| Thickness | 30 microns and up |
|---|---|
| Material | OPP, oriented polypropylene |
| Finish | Side seal or bottom seal, with a self-adhesive strip for closing |
| Film colours | Clear, white, blue, green, yellow, pink, black, grey |
| Size | Made to your measurements |
| Printing | Up to 8 colours, or plain film with no printing |
| Order size | Orders start from 5,000 pieces, actual figure confirmed in the quote |
| Production time | 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment |
OPP is often confused with a plain polybag, but the two behave differently once a product is inside. A polybag usually refers to any lightweight PE bag used for bulk or protective wrapping, and it tends to look slightly cloudy. OPP is stretched during manufacture specifically to be clearer and glossier, which is why it is chosen for display rather than plain protection.
| OPP | Clear, glossy, stiffer. Chosen when the product must be seen. |
|---|---|
| PE polybag | Softer, slightly cloudy. Chosen for bulk wrapping where clarity is not the priority. |
| HDPE | Opaque to translucent, crinkly texture. Chosen for carrier and grocery bags, not display. |
| PP, unstretched | Stiffer than PE but less glossy than OPP. Less common for retail display. |
Most OPP bags close with a self-adhesive strip built into the film, so the bag seals itself without heat or tape once the product is inside. Side seal and bottom seal are both available depending on how you want the print to sit against the opening. A header card or a punched hang hole can be added at the top of the bag for products that need to hang on a hook or a peg rather than lie flat on a shelf. Tell us which one your display needs when you request a quote.
Clothing and accessory brands use OPP so a folded shirt or a scarf is visible without opening the pack. Card, print and craft sellers use it to protect a flat product from dust while it stays fully visible. Bakery and gift sellers use the glossy finish to lift how a product looks on a shelf. Across all three, the film and the print are the same technical job, made to whatever size the product needs.

That is a good position, and it does not need to change. A supplier who already understands your product carries value that is not easily replaced. Many businesses that run a stable operation still keep a second supplier on file purely for continuity, particularly around peak season or when one film type runs into a supply delay.
No. A plain polybag usually means a soft, slightly cloudy PE film used for general wrapping. OPP is stretched during manufacture to be clearer and glossier, which is why it looks closer to glass and is chosen when the product needs to be seen rather than simply covered.
That figure is a starting point, not a promise for every product. The most direct way to reduce the commitment is to settle on one size first, or choose plain film with no printing so the same bag can serve more than one product with a separate label.
No. Plastik Malaysia is an OPP bag supplier in Malaysia, not a manufacturer, and we do not own a factory. We specify the job, control the artwork and print process, manage production and deliver to you. What that means in practice is that you get one accountable point of contact for the specification, the printing and the delivery date, and you are not the one chasing a production floor.

Yes, up to 8 colours. Many brands print only one corner or edge of the bag so the product itself stays fully visible, which keeps the display purpose of the film intact while still carrying the brand.
Yes, as a self-adhesive bag that seals itself once the product is inside. State this when you request a quote, since it changes the finish specification.
Orders start from 5,000 pieces. That is a floor, not a fixed figure. The actual minimum varies by film type and format, so the number that applies to your job is confirmed in your quote.
Yes. A punched hang hole or an attached header card can be added for products that need to hang on a hook or a peg display rather than lie flat. Tell us this when you send your specification.
4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment, regardless of order size. Sending your artwork and confirming the deposit early is the only lever you have over when that clock starts.
Send it through the quote request form, or message us directly on WhatsApp 017-604 8406. A photo of the product and the size you need is enough to start.
