Protect Your Garments With Packaging That Disappears Responsibly
Every clothing brand ships garments in poly bags. Most of those bags sit in landfills for centuries. Compostable garment bags give your customers the same protection for their purchase while breaking down naturally in commercial composting facilities within 90 to 180 days. Whether you sell vintage tees, luxury dresses, or subscription clothing boxes, these bags keep your products clean, dry, and wrinkle-free during transit without the environmental guilt.
Made from PLA (polylactic acid) derived from renewable plant sources like cornstarch, these bags offer clarity and strength comparable to traditional poly. Your customers can see the garment inside, and your brand looks like it actually cares about sustainability, because it does.
Full-Color Custom Printing on Every Bag
Plain compostable bags do the job, but branded ones tell your story. Teal Packaging prints your logo, tagline, care instructions, or composting guidelines directly onto each bag using water-based inks that keep the entire package compostable. Choose from full-color CMYK printing to match your brand palette precisely.
Common customization options include:
- Your logo and brand colors printed on one or both sides
- Composting instructions so customers know exactly how to dispose of the bag
- Self-seal adhesive strips for easy packing and a clean unboxing experience
- Multiple sizes to fit everything from socks and accessories to full suits and gowns
- Custom thickness options for lightweight basics or heavier outerwear

Plant-Based Materials That Actually Compost
These bags are certified compostable under ASTM D6400 standards, meaning they break down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass in industrial composting conditions. The base material is PLA film, which comes from fermented plant starch rather than petroleum. Even the inks are plant-based and free from heavy metals.
Unlike "biodegradable" plastics that simply fragment into microplastics, certified compostable packaging genuinely returns to the earth. That distinction matters to eco-conscious shoppers, and it matters for brands building long-term trust. If your brand already uses recycled mailers or paper tags, compostable garment bags are the natural next step in a fully sustainable packaging system.
Who Uses Compostable Garment Bags
Fashion and apparel brands are the obvious fit, but the applications run wider than you might expect:
- Online clothing stores protecting folded garments inside shipping boxes
- Subscription box services wrapping each month's items individually
- Dry cleaners and laundry services replacing traditional poly covers
- Boutique retailers packaging tissue-wrapped purchases for customers
- Textile manufacturers protecting rolls and samples during B2B shipment
- Hotels and resorts wrapping guest laundry or turndown amenities
Any business that currently uses single-use poly bags for garments can switch to compostable alternatives without changing their packing workflow. The bags feel familiar in hand, seal the same way, and protect just as well.
