Polyethylene packaging with print

How many colors can we put on the polyethylene bags or film?

We can put up to 6 colors on polyethylene bags or film. In many cases, 3 colors are enough to complete the drawing on the package. The film of the appropriate color can also be produced directly and then the printing  applied on it. Then the number of colors increases to 7. We are able to apply printing on both sides of the bag. The number of colors and the size of the printing determine the price of the packaging, the more colors, the more expensive the production of the press forms (so called cliches), because each color requires a separate “cliche”.

What is the minimum quantity required to start production of packaging with printing?

Flexography printing is adapted for mass production, reducing the cost of painting the packaging to the lowest possible. But mass production does not always mean huge amounts to be scared of. For example, the production of polyethylene sleeves with a print starts from 150 kg. If we make quite thick and big dimensions bags from that film, we will get about 1500 – 2000 pieces of such kind of bags. Depending on the size and thickness of the bag, different amounts of bags are available from 100 kg to 150 kg of film. We also focus on small and medium-sized enterprises, so we try to satisfy the wishes of small enterprises to be visible and bright.
