Supply camera-ready artwork. We are not allowed to change or modify your artwork files!!!
Exact registration of spot colors is not available. Allow 1/8" between colors or supply trapped camera-ready artwork. We cannot be responsible for contamination of ink colors.
Hot Stamping Restrictions
One color custom print.
5.5"x2.75" Printing plate set up cost is 150$.
Our hot stamped bags are imprinted one at a time using foil. The bags will show puckering around the copy due to the heat that is applied to the stamping plate. Two sided stamping shows the metal plate impression through the copy. Please request a hot stamped sample bag before ordering to see if this is acceptable to you. No returns or allowances based on inherent production characteristics will be issued.
Ink Colors for Printed Bags
We are able to match any ink color using Pantone ink colors by number. If you do not supply a PMS color match we will supply the closest match available. Light ink colors on a dark bag color will not show up well and are not recommended. We suggest using a reverse or drop-out and overprintg to obtain the true ink color match. |
