Hi David, the text was written by an Austrian (!) who could not speak English.

I have a short marketing description about football cheese snack; below "Existing packaging possibilities: 5 x 20 per net
bulk: 50 or 100 x 20 g per carton
Minumum circulation for a private label print:
net tag: 10 to
blister: 40 to

As Shai says, we can do no better than guess when you offer as little context; it might even help if we knew where the text was written, and by whom - as it stands it makes little sense at all. Especially when you remember "to" is usually short for tonne!

a tag, label for a net

This is as you see little more than a guess. It's based on the fact that footballs are also carried in nets (or at least they were when I played - even though that's closing in on half-a-century ago). I suspect that these football snacks are something like "savoury footballs", which I recall from the UK, and that the inside packs are indeed nets (I seem to remember red ones most commonly, FWIW!). I can only guess that the "to" does really mean "tonnes", even though that does represent millions of footballs. Possibly the labels, or tags, are elaborate to set up, and hence the high "bar" - or target for ordering.

In any case, I'd certainly query the "to" with the customer.

Number of items encapsulated in a net

I'm not sure at all and just speculating, but it might mean the number of items encapsulated in a net based packaging. Like 10 - something individual cheese disks withing the package.
Maybe you can provide some more context.

The entire context that you provided doesn't help much, but from the words net tag and blister I can (again) only assume that your clients is offering his product in one of 2 packaging options. In a net packaging (probably some items grouped together in a net), and in a blister (or might he meant container?) packaging.
This is the only possible explanation that I can think of, and that make sense.
Note from asker:
I have only the description of this cheese which is for other cheese companies (this is to say that my customer sells its products to other smaller companies)

cheese is sometimes packaged in a net

In a lot of places cheese is packaged in a cover and then by a net, the net is always on the outside of the cover and it would have the tag on it stipulating its use by date, bar code, and production batch code, this is called a tag, (like a tag on shirt)
