Printed Polybags
Your brand, on the first thing they touch
The bag is often the first physical thing a customer touches. A printed polybag turns a packing cost into a brand asset, and for e-commerce sellers it does double duty — logo on one side, care instructions or a returns note on the other.
We print in-house, which matters for two reasons: your artwork does not sit in a queue at a third party, and if the registration drifts we stop the line rather than shipping it. Turnaround for printed stock is measured in days, not weeks.
When not to buy this
Very small runs. Our minimum is 100 kg per size, and near it the cylinder setup dominates the cost — a plain bag with a printed label is often the cheaper answer, and we will tell you so.
Best for
Retail, D2C and dispatch packing where the bag is part of the brand experience.
Anatomy
What you are actually specifying
What you get
Four things we hold to
In-house printing
Up to two colours, printed on our own line. No third-party queue, no surprise lead times.
Artwork support
Send a logo in almost any format — we will convert it, position it and send back a proof before we run anything.
Registration held
Print position stays put across the run, so bag one thousand looks like bag one.
Food-safe inks
Print sits on the outer face; the inner contact surface stays clean virgin film.

Common questions
Before you ask
- How many colours can you print?
- Two as standard. If you need more, tell us at enquiry stage and we will be straight with you about whether we should be the ones to run it.
- Do I pay for the cylinder every time?
- No. The cylinder is a one-time cost per design and we keep it for your repeat orders.
