Small details do not always print well on polypropylene (non-woven) bags due to the texture of the material. For more detailed imprints, we recommend you choose a bag made of polyester material or eliminate the fine details.

Bags are imprinted via screen printing, foil stamping, flexographic printing or heat transfer decal.

Screen printing burns the selected image into a screen that is then positioned on top of each bag as the ink is pushed through. The ink is then transferred onto the bags in the shape of the image.
The heat transfer decal process uses a heat press to apply a decal in full-color graphics onto each bag.
Foil stamping is the application of metallic or pigmented foil onto material by using a heated die.
Flexographic (“flexo”) printing is a process that utilizes a flexible plate on a rotating drum to apply ink to the product.
