Questions people actually ask
What exactly does Apni Potli do?+
We are a packaging company. You design the pouch — a name, a message, a meme, a photo — and we print it on kraft, compostable stand-up pouches, fill it with the snack you picked, and ship it. The snacks are sourced and packed for you; the packet is the part that's yours.
Why is the minimum order 5 packs?+
Every pouch is printed to order. Below five, the print setup costs more than what's inside, so five is where the price stays sane. Five is a small gift box, and five is also about a week of office pantry.
What pack sizes can I get?+
250 g and 500 g, in any of our five pouch colours. The 500 g pouch is taller, so your artwork gets a bit more room — the preview on the product page shows exactly how your design sits on each size.
How long do the snacks stay fresh?+
Three to nine months from the pack date depending on the mix — all shelf-stable, no refrigeration. Every pouch is nitrogen-flushed and the batch date is printed on the back.
What actually changes between Regular and Healthy?+
The ingredients, not the recipe. Healthy swaps refined oil for cold-pressed oil or A2 ghee, refined sugar for jaggery, and drops palm oil entirely. Roughly 50% higher price because the raw material costs that much more.
How long does delivery take?+
4-6 days for small batches, 6-9 days up to 60 packs, and 8-15 days for large corporate runs. Printing takes 2-3 days of that. Festival weeks (Diwali, Rakhi) get busy, so order about two weeks ahead.
Do you do bulk and corporate orders?+
Yes — Diwali hampers for teams, joining kits, event giveaways. Anything above 150 packs gets custom pricing and a proof PDF before we print. Write to info@apnipotli.com with your quantity and date.
How does the AI design assistant work?+
Tell it what the pouch is for — a meme for a friend, a motivational line for exam season, Diwali greetings with your family name. It returns three ready pack designs with a top line and a personal line, and you apply one in a tap. It keeps an eye on the Indian festival calendar, so the ideas match the season.
Can I print anything on the pack?+
Almost. You own what you write, and by submitting it you confirm you have the right to use it. We do a quick human check before printing and will refuse hate speech, slurs, third-party logos and copyrighted characters — we'll email you and refund in full if something doesn't pass.
