When your bag sits on a pallet in a truck or on a shop shelf, it is effectively a billboard for your brand. Printing your logo, product specs and contact details on PP woven bags is one of the most cost-effective marketing tools for manufacturers and distributors.
What Is Flexo Printing?
The standard method for printing on woven PP is flexography. Your design is engraved onto a rubber printing plate, which applies ink directly to the fabric — either during weaving or on the finished fabric. Each color in your design requires its own plate, which is why 1-color printing costs less than 2- or 4-color work.
What File Should You Send for Your Logo?
- Best: a vector file (CorelDraw or Illustrator — CDR or AI) with colors separated.
- Acceptable: a high-resolution image (PNG or JPG) — our graphics team will prepare the print-ready layout.
- Information to include: logo, brand name, product specs, weight, phone number and any other text you want on the bag.
Costs and Workflow
Printing cost has two parts: a one-time plate fee (paid only the first time for each design — the plate belongs to you) and a per-bag printing cost that depends on the number of colors. The workflow:
- 1. Send the artwork: logo and texts.
- 2. Print layout (proof): the design is prepared at actual bag size and sent for your approval.
- 3. Plate making: after approval, the plates are produced.
- 4. Print sample: a real printed sample is approved as final.
- 5. Bulk production: the order enters the production line.
How Many Colors Should You Choose?
For large volumes and established brands, 3 or 4 colors look more professional. For a first run or budget products, 1 or 2 colors (usually navy, red or black on a white bag) are economical and perfectly readable. On laminated bags, the smoother surface allows finer print detail.
FAQ
Is custom printing possible for small orders?
Yes, but because the plate fee is fixed, it only makes economic sense above a minimum volume. The minimum order is 100 pieces; larger volumes make custom printing far more cost-effective.
Does the plate stay mine forever?
Yes — the plate is made and paid for once, and you never pay for it again on future orders.
