Arnoult told DCN that the company has been funded to this point by its owner and co-founder Frank Plechschmidt, who has run a digital printing company in Germany called Labelisten for over 20 years.
Pouches.com Co-Founder Michael Wey also has over a decade in the digital printing industry and is on Labelisten’s board of directors.
“We founded Pouches.com to simplify the custom packaging process,” Wey said. “Our platform gives businesses across the U.S. a fast, reliable solution that combines rapid delivery with excellent customer service.”
Pouches.com does not require minimum orders, although the price-per-unit reduces with higher volume tiers. Pricing is not published up front. With online payments, the company offers a standard 20-day delivery, with an additional fee for expedited orders.
