Print Colors Explained

We offer a vast array of colours for your bags and can achieve most designs using flexographic solid ink with a maximum of 6 individual colours. For larger orders, we also provide full-colour printing using CMYK.

Our knowledgeable staff can assist with your artwork and provide proofs for your approval before the bags are produced.

Solid Colour Print

Solid or spot colour print is a method where colour is created by blending inks to a specific shade without screens or dots, using the Pantone Matching System®. This technique is ideal for achieving a precise and clean print on plastic carrier bags.

The Pantone Matching System consists of 14 basic colours, each with its own unique ink mixing formula developed by Pantone.

Process Colour Print / CMYK

Full-colour printing, also known as CMYK, is typically used when printing continuous tones such as gradients and photographs.

This printing method involves using the primary colours Cyan [C], Magenta [M], Yellow [Y], and Black [K] to create a full spectrum of colours.

Artwork Guidelines

We welcome artwork in various formats, but the most convenient and successful ones for us are Adobe Illustrator and most vector formats like EPS, PDF, and PSD.

To ensure smooth processing, please convert all fonts to outlines or provide the TTF font file to be used. We can send a PDF back via email for your final approval of the artwork before proceeding with the printing. It's important that artwork files are of high quality, with a minimum resolution of 300dpi.
