ABOUT THE PRODUCT
3 Ply Clip Close Handle carrier bags are made with 3 layers of materials which trap air and create an insulating effect. The outer layer is usually LDPE polythene and can be branded up to full colour process on both sides, the middle layer is foam and can vary in thickness, and the inner layer is also polythene.. Minimum order from 3000 quantity.
PRINTING OPTIONS
Flexo printed with rubber printing plates for small order volumes or gravure engraved cylinders for larger orders.
We use solvent or water based pantone inks and can even offer CMYK printing which is mostly suited to larger order sizes due to the associated set up costs.
With all flexographic printed products, each colour printed and side printed will require a rubber plate to be made. Each plate carries a charge. This is why adding extra ink colours onto a flexographically printed bag costs extra up front.
Unlike litho plates, we keep the flexo rubber plates for re-use so the upfront set up charge only applies to the first order. The plates keep well and can be used for many years to come.
The screen ruling for designs with tints and tonal elements is 55 LPI so shaded areas are best kept to a minimum as the dots can be quite visible to the naked eye and are not fine like digital or litho prints.
