Print & artwork

Turn “can you print our logo?” into a specification

Printing questions stall more quotes than pricing does, because the answer depends on things nobody thinks to mention — how many colours, which faces, how much of the bag it covers. Answer them here and the quote takes a day instead of a week.

Artwork checklist

  • Vector artworkAI, EPS, PDF or SVG. A high-resolution PNG usually works; a logo pulled off a website usually does not.
  • Outlined textConvert fonts to outlines so your typeface travels with the file.
  • Spot colours namedTell us the Pantone or a printed reference. “Our blue” is not a colour we can match.
  • Print position markedWhere on the bag, and which face. One side or both.
  • Clear of the sealWe hold a margin at the seal so heat never runs through ink — allow half an inch.

Attach your logo to a quote request and we will send back a digital proof before anything is printed.

How this works

Usable print area allows half an inch off the length for the seal margin — heat through ink is the most common printing failure — and a quarter inch at each side. Cylinder count is colours multiplied by printed faces; each cylinder is a one-time cost per design and we keep it for your repeat orders.

Ink coverage does not change the film cost, but it does change ink consumption and drying, which is why we ask. Solid coverage across a large bag behaves very differently from a small logo.
