Bedruckte Papiertragetaschen mit Kordel

Lead Times

Standard delivery time on these bags if we are overprinting onto our stock products is 3 weeks. For larger runs and more complicated artwork that we are reproducing, the turnaround time is slightly longer, typically 4 to 8 weeks.

Minimum Order Quantity

If we are printing on our stock bags, we can supply great low minimum order quantities from 250 bags (or one box, whichever is greater). With overprinting, you can only print up to two colours.

If you are ordering over 3,000 bags then it no longer becomes cost effective to print onto our stock bags, it is more efficient to print and manufacture directly (automatic production). You can then print in full colour and we can usually reproduce complex artwork.

Colour Options

Short runs can be printed onto our stock, please click here to see the website for our current collection to check which colours are available. You can print up to two colours on top of our stock bags.

We can flood printing when printing large runs. Just send us your pantone number (check with your Packaging Consultant for more help) and we will try and match this colour. This means you can truly represent your brand in the most accurate way.

Materials

Manufactured with either white or brown Kraft paper.Paper comes in a plain or ribbed Kraft.  Most common paper weights are between 90gsm to 120gsm on kraft, and coated paper is usually 120gsm.If you require something more bespoke, we can tailor a solution to meet your needs. 

Printing Methods

Flexo Overprint 2 colours maximum Flexographic (flexo) printing uses a flexible printing plate to transfer the ink onto the substrate being printed, typically plastic, metallic films, cellophane and paper. The printing capability is not as good as lithographic printing, and is not really suitable for fine tone work and detailing. Flexo overprinting allows us to print onto stock items so is perfect for short print runs. On most products, we can print in 1 or 2 colours. The best print results are on flat surfaces so the print area available is limited by the construction of the bag or box. Due to the uncontrolled nature of the printing, registration cannot always be guaranteed, and reverse out printing is not recommended.Stack PressA stack press can usually print in between 4 and 8 colours, with six being the most common that you find. The stack press gets its name from the individual ink/printing sections, which are oriented in a vertical stack. Paper or plastic passes through each one in turn. They offer quick setup which is great for short runs; however they tend to have a lower print capability for tone work and are unable to maintain tight registration.Central Impression PressA CI press is different to a stack press, as there is a single large cylinder that supports the paper or plastic as it comes into contact with a series of printing plates, one for each colour that is being applied. Central impression presses can have anywhere from two to eight printing units, with six being the most common. The advantage of CI presses is that you can print at a much faster rate than a stack press while maintaining much tighter registration and a higher quality tone work. Unfortunately they take longer to set up and so are not used on short runs. Our Packaging Consultants will be able to give you reliable advice about the replication of your logo to ensure that we never compromise in quality.
