Retail Paper Bags

Technical Specification for Retail Paper Bags

Full colour inkjet printing uses nozzles to print tiny droplets of CMYK ink directly onto the surface of the product. This method allows for high-resolution images, gradients, and photo-quality prints with vibrant detail. It’s ideal for short runs, personalised designs, or artwork that includes multiple colours and fine detail. Inkjet printing works best on flat surfaces and products designed to absorb or hold ink evenly.

Artwork Upload 

If you’d prefer to use your own design software to create your artwork, we’ve got some tips to help you design your print ready file.  

When submitting artwork for all-over print, please provide two files:

1. Artwork with Template Visible – for checking placement and sizing.

2. Artwork without Template – this will be used for proofing and printing.

Small and Large Print Areas: These can be supplied as artwork only, without the template overlaid.

Top Tips:  

• Use high-resolution images (minimum 300dpi), embedded in the PDF.  

• Use a minimum font size of 8pt to ensure legibility when printed.  

• Outline all fonts, or ensure they are embedded in the PDF.  

• Flatten your design and avoid using overprint settings to ensure all elements print exactly as intended.  

• Outline all strokes by converting them to shapes.
