Custom bag printing – that makes an impact.

In screen printing, ink is pressed through a fine-mesh screen directly onto the bag – with a separate screen for each colour. The result is strong, opaque solid colours (e.g. Pantone-matched) with excellent wash and abrasion resistance. On our carousel printing presses, we print fully sewn bags efficiently in series.

Materials: Cotton, jute, non-woven, PP woven, felt, polyester

For laminated PP woven and RPET bags, gravure printing is the premium method: rather than the fabric itself, an ultra-thin OPP film is reverse-printed and only bonded to the fabric during lamination. The design sits protected beneath the film – scuff-resistant and brilliant. A separate copper cylinder is engraved for each ink colour, which pays off for large runs of approx. 1,000–3,000 units and upwards.

Modern large-format digital printers produce photorealistic, full-coverage designs with fine gradients – without printing plates. Ideal for retail campaigns, product worlds and designs where the entire bag becomes advertising space, such as the CityShopper.

In DTF printing, the design is first printed onto a special film and then transferred to the bag using heat and pressure. Once the film is peeled off, a vibrant, highly detailed print with clean edges remains – on almost any textile and colour.

Materials: Cotton, jute, polyester, felt, non-woven

In heat transfer printing, the design is printed onto a carrier material and transferred to the bag with a transfer press under heat and pressure. The process allows highly detailed logos, lettering and colour-intensive designs on a smooth, fixed surface – ideal for smaller series and personalised applications.

Materials: Cotton, polyester, non-woven, RPET

In DTG printing, the design is printed digitally straight onto the textile and bonds with the fibre. The result: a soft, fabric-like hand feel with a high level of detail and colour accuracy – particularly suited to cotton and small runs with photorealistic or personalised designs.

Materials: Cotton

In sublimation printing, the ink turns into a gas under heat and bonds permanently with the polyester fibre. This creates vivid, photorealistic all-over designs without a surface print layer – with a soft hand feel and high scratch resistance.

Materials: Polyester, rPET polyester

With embroidery, the design is stitched directly into the material with thread. The result is an elegant, three-dimensional finish that keeps its shape and withstands washing – ideal for high-quality cotton, jute and felt bags as well as upscale corporate gifts.

Flexographic printing uses flexible printing plates and fast-drying inks. It is ideal for simple logos, text, line art and bold designs, and cost-effective for medium to large quantities – although it does not offer photo quality.

Materials: PP woven, non-woven, paper

Embossing and hot foil showcase logos in a tactile, glossy way – as blind embossing, or in gold, silver or coloured foil. Particularly striking on paper carrier bags and felt.
