How to print a logo onto a bag?
Simple mailing bags used for shipping often go unnoticed. But once your logo and brand message are printed on the packaging, every shipment becomes a powerful branding opportunity that increases customer recognition and enhances your brand image. Custom packaging is no longer just for protection — it is also an effective marketing tool for eCommerce and clothing brands.
Generally, there are several popular printing methods for custom polymailer bags, custom clothing shipping bags, and branded apparel packaging:
1. Screen Printing — Best for Small Batch Custom Orders
For small quantity orders (usually under 1,000 pieces) with simple logo designs, we normally use screen printing.
This printing method is:
- Cost-effective for small businesses
- Fast and flexible
- Ideal for simple one-color or two-color logos
The production lead time is usually around 7–10 days.
Screen printing is widely used for:
- Custom mailing bags
- Boutique clothing packaging
- Fashion brand shipping bags
- Custom poly mailers with logo
2. Gravure Printing — Perfect for Premium Large Orders
For more complex artwork such as:
- Multi-color designs
- Full-page printing
- Luxury brand packaging
- High-definition graphics
and quantities over 5,000 pieces, we recommend gravure printing.
Advantages include:
- More accurate and vibrant colors
- High-quality printing details
- Better consistency for bulk production
The production time is generally 15–20 days.
This method is ideal for:
- Custom apparel shipping bags
- Printed courier bags
- Luxury clothing packaging
- Wholesale polymailer bags
- E-commerce packaging solutions
