Printed Bags

Recommended Posts

This  is a question I asked a few moths ago and I only found the best prices to be  Overseas -----> http://www.alibaba.com

I have not gone down that road yet, I did designed my own label in AI (adobe illustrator) and got them printed. still a lot of work but definitely  cheaper,,  ~~This what they look like ~~

 

Quality looks great.  Who does your printing and about how much do they charge per bag?  I had a few stickers made at Fast Signs but they charge $1 a sticker, but then again I only bought 25.

100 = $75.00

200 = $130.00

300 = $185.00

500 = $300.00

Thanks for the info, 60 cents a sticker is still a little much but is half what I paid.   But on the other hand Quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten......

Call Bill at Hudson Poly Bag in Hudson Ma. Tell him Salty sent you. I have custom printed bags and they're 1/5 the price shown above. The biggest cost is the print screen which I think ran abt $150 which is a one time charge. I have used him for 12 years. GREAT service and prices are comparable to even Chinese stuff like Uline etc.

What type of bag are you buying? Are these laminate type bags or something else? Do you package with scent?

We went to a laminated bag several years ago.  If I remember correctly there was a charge of $150.00 per color for the plates.  We have two sizes of bags so it was a little pricey to start off with.  Also have to keep in mind the shipping and import fees.  The first order we placed was for 50,000 pieces of the smaller bag and 25,000 of the larger bag. The shipping and import fees came up to about $1,900.  Wasn't quite expecting that bill!  Now we order 200,000-300,000 at a time to bring down the cost per bag.  With a label and bag we were paying almost 25 cents now with the laminated bag it's just over 4 cents.

Just about every manufacturer gets their bags from over seas. Even if you go through an American company, odds are they source from over seas. I am working directly with a Chinese company and we paid just under 6 cents for 50,000 bags in 4 color (keep in mind they need to print a layer of white so our artwork actually has only 3 colors). There was a setup fee of $125 per color or something close to that. Then we have to pay freight to get them here and the air freight via DHL was pretty cheap. Our all-in cost was about 10 cents a bag and it would have been cheaper if we did sea freight. We also added a foil sticker with product name which is 4 cents and a UPC label which is a few cents.

Dealing with China was a nightmare at times and we actually didn't do a proof the first time, which was a big mistake bc the colors were off. But they bags still look slick anyway and we are addressing the color issue on the second run.

Hope that helps!
