Black gloss paper bags professionally printed with your logo in one colour. We can personalise your bags on one side or two, using our screen printing service. Your logo will look wonderful printed in silver, gold or white, simply order online - other colours can be printed upon request, please phone us on 01903 202 333.

How Does Screen Printing Work?

We screen print these black bags because it produces a really good quality image. To print your logo onto the carriers we create you a silk ‘screen’. Your screen is purchased on your first order (covered by the one-off set-up charge). The screen is kept for your re-orders.
Our screen printing service is an ‘over-print’ service, this means that the bag is already made and the design is printed onto the finished bag.

Your agreed design is transferred onto a sheet of acetate. It is then transferred onto the mesh screen using a photosensitive block and UV light- to create your screen.

Your bag is placed on the screen table and your choice of ink is poured over the screen which sits on top.
A squeegee then glides across the screen to cover the mesh with ink.

The paper that is exposed to the ink produces your design on the bag.
You can see the process in the video opposite.

How Strong Are These Bags?
