PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Small compostable trash bags specified for the bin and the waste
A good 4–6 gallon liner should fit the actual small bin, open easily, carry its intended light waste and ship in a count the buyer can verify. Compare those details together before approving a colour or claim.

SPECIFICATION LOGIC
Four decisions before quotation
Choose the right film and bottom
The listed 16 μm economy option is for light dry contents. Request a sample of the chosen gauge and inspect opening, folds, bottom star seam and lift handling with realistic waste.
Approve the visible rim design
The warm ivory film with a narrow plum seed motif is an illustrative private-label direction for guest-facing bins. Check ink, registration and how the artwork looks once the rim is folded over.
Keep the pack and claim aligned
Confirm bags per sleeve and per carton, then match any compostability wording and permitted mark to the same finished printed item and sales market.
FASTER RFQ
Prepare these four inputs
Complete inputs reduce back-and-forth and help us match the sample, evidence and commercial quote to one defined construction.
- Actual bin top opening, height and folded-rim allowance
- Waste type, service interval, gauge and sample handling check
- Destination market, disposal route and finished-item evidence
- Colour, artwork, bags per sleeve, cartons and annual volume
WHY CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT
Six checks for a better small-bin liner order
Light-gauge film, matched to use
Use the listed 14–25 μm range and 16 μm option as quotation starting points. Check the production sample against light dry waste, opening and service frequency; an image cannot measure gauge.
Star-seal bottom construction
Inspect the gathered underside seam on a real bag. Perform a handling and bottom-seal check with the intended contents before using any puncture or liquid-resistance language.
4- and 6-gallon bin fit
Compare the two reference sizes with each bin model. Check how the rim folds over and whether the bag reaches the base without excessive bunching.
Custom print without visual clutter
Keep the plum seed-and-stem border small on an optional ivory OEM variant. Agree ink type, colour, registration and the finished-item certification scope before printing.
Pack count buyers can verify
Review sample sleeves and cartons for bags per pack, sealed pack dimensions, case quantity and shipping marks. Existing online packing counts need a production packing-list check.
Consistent converting and QC criteria
Set acceptance criteria for gauge, top opening, print placement, base seam and packs per case. The production photograph is a generated concept, not a QC record for supplied stock.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications

| Packaging | Flat packs or sleeves with master cartons; agree count, labelling, barcode, case marks and pallet plan |
CERTIFICATIONS
Four document checks before a compostability claim
These are four buyer checks, not four certifications proven for the ivory, plum-printed concept shown. Earlier site badges do not replace a current certificate tied to the finished SKU. Confirm intended disposal route and local acceptance separately from material or logo evidence.
OK compost HOME — verify the finished liner
The earlier listing names OK compost HOME, but request the current TÜV AUSTRIA certificate and check holder, exact ES-GB-02 bag or covered family, thickness, ivory tint, plum ink, licence number and validity before using its mark. A home-compost label does not determine whether used bathroom or office waste belongs in a home compost heap.
EN 13432 — review EU industrial scope
For a European industrial-compostability claim, request finished-bag EN 13432 test or certificate scope including film, seam, colour and printing. Verify whether the intended mark is licensed and whether the target receiving facility accepts this liner and contents.
ASTM D6400 — review the US industrial route
If marketing this liner for US managed aerobic composting, request evidence against the applicable edition of ASTM D6400 for the actual printed finished bag and gauge. This industrial standard does not establish home-compost suitability or guarantee municipal collection acceptance.
BPI — check item eligibility and licence
If proposing a BPI mark, first ask whether this light-duty dry-waste use is eligible for BPI certification. For an eligible organics-collection variant, match the exact finished item, holder, print and thickness in the BPI catalog and secure any required private-label sublicense before artwork approval.
OEM / ODM
Customization Options
Review 4- or 6-gallon width and length, flat open-top construction, film gauge, ivory or other approved film colours, minimal rim printing, 50- or 100-count pack options and wholesale case marks. The plum seed-and-stem artwork is a concept only. Colour, ink, thickness and any private-label mark must be checked against the actual finished-item compostability scope before production.
FACTORY CAPABILITIES
Esinle OEM Capabilities
The selected format can be reviewed against these Guangzhou manufacturing capabilities. Final feasibility, tolerances and MOQ are confirmed in the approved specification.
Custom Dimensions
Width, gusset depth and length can be reviewed against your packaging-line requirements and converting limits.
Printing & Branding
Flexographic artwork, colour count, print coverage and plate requirements are checked before MOQ and pricing are confirmed.
In-House Compounding
PLA, PBAT and starch blend options are selected around flexibility, strength, processing and the documented claim required for the SKU.
BEHIND EVERY PRODUCT
Integrated production in Guangzhou
The workflow covers compounding, film blowing, printing and bag conversion, with the order specification used as the reference for in-process and final checks.
USE CASES
Four light-waste applications to sample
Hotel and office bathrooms
Line compact guest or staff bathroom bins for tissues and lightweight dry toiletry wrappers. Confirm the cuff looks tidy, and choose a higher-gauge bag if wet or heavier waste routinely enters the bin.
Office desk-side residual waste
Use a small lined desk bin for non-recyclable light dry waste, with a separate clearly identified recycling stream. Check bin dimensions and collection practice before issuing one size across a whole office.
Bedrooms and guestrooms
Fit a small bedside wastebasket for tissues and other light dry items. The subtle optional rim motif can support a calm guest-facing look while housekeeping tests opening and changeover.
Retail and janitorial distribution
Offer clearly specified 4- and 6-gallon packs through office-supply, hospitality or janitorial catalogs. Agree pack count, carton count, labeling and item-specific documentation before private-label listing.
HONEST TRANSPARENCY
Limitations & Storage
The reference 16 μm small liner is for light, predominantly dry waste and is not validated here for heavy objects, sharp items, standing liquids, wet food waste or long holding periods. Neither bin volume nor generated photography proves a weight limit, leak resistance or universal fit. The existing website has conflicting 50/100-count and carton quantities, storage periods and product colour descriptions; agree a current written sample specification. Any new ink or tint needs a finished-item evidence review.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are the sizes of the 4- and 6-gallon liners?
The current sourcing reference lists 16 × 18 inches for 4 gallons and 17 × 20 inches for 6 gallons. Nominal bin volume alone cannot guarantee fit; measure the actual opening, height and desired cuff and test both samples.
Are these bags intended for food scraps or heavy trash?
The listed 16 μm standard option is positioned for light, predominantly dry bathroom, guestroom and office waste. For wet food scraps, sharp items or heavier loads, request a different construction and test it with the intended waste.
Is the ivory printed bag a stock colour?
No stock colour is established by these generated images. Earlier listings mention green, natural and white. The ivory film and plum micro-pattern are an illustrative OEM direction to confirm by artwork proof, physical sample, feasibility and minimum order.
Can we state OK compost HOME on a private-label pack?
Only after verifying a current certificate and licence that covers the exact finished product and the chosen colour, ink, gauge and company or sublicense. A logo in earlier website copy is not sufficient evidence for this new concept.
Does ASTM D6400 mean the bag can go in home compost?
No. ASTM D6400 covers materials and products for managed aerobic municipal or industrial composting. Home-compost suitability is a separate finished-product claim requiring separate evidence and appropriate end-of-life instructions.
Does a compostable bin liner belong in a recycling stream?
Do not mix it with conventional recyclable plastics based only on the word compostable. Ask the receiving program whether it accepts the used bag and its contents; keep office recycling and residual waste separate.
Can we print the design across the whole bag?
The narrow rim print is an illustrative design choice. Broader coverage and new inks may affect price, visibility and certification scope. Share the artwork and intended certification wording for a construction and document review.
What should I send for a wholesale quote?
Send your bin opening and height, intended waste, 4- or 6-gallon format, target gauge, bags per pack and carton, artwork, annual volume, destination market and required documentation. Ask for a matching physical sample.
