Steps and processes to get you plastic bag free.

When confronted with the prospect of converting from printed plastic bags to printed paper bags, the process can be exceptionally daunting. Typically, one immediately starts to look for plain paper bag suppliers as a point of departure. Then, the process of having your logo and branding transferred onto your paper bags through printers makes the nightmare worse! Offset printers need to make special dies and other printer componentry to process this kind of printing and before you know it, the costs are exceptionally high. Or you will be faced with having to have tens of thousands at a time printed by one of our eastern trading partners and the chances of getting things wrong like branding, together with very long waiting periods makes this unattractive as an option.
What if you had your own printing machine and could solve all of the above problems and achieve the same at astonishingly low entry costs? Well, you can actually!
