What Are Printing Cylinders and Why Do I Need Them?        

Etched metal (aluminum/copper) to hold and apply precise amounts of ink to film substrates.  Printing cylinders cost on average $225 each (you need one per color)

What Is The Minumum Run Quality for Custom Printed Stand Up Pouches        

·If we are printing digitally, the minimum run will be 1000 pieces on average.  We can run less but the cost will be more.  Remember, with digital printing, you won’t have printing cylinder charges but the per piece price will be more. ·If we are printing traditionally Rotogravure, the minimum run is generally 2500 to 5000 pieces.  Now, this type of printing requires printing cylinders (you need one per color and they generally cost $225 each…however they last 18-24 months and can be used over and over).  With printing cylinders and Rotogravure, your per piece price is Lower than digital printing.

Laminated Packaging        

Laminated packaging (like stand up pouches) ARE Recyclable and Landfill Friendly.  Generally they are categorized as an R7.  R7 materials are easily ground back up and used as filler and regrind for plastic lumber, park benches, bumpers, construction signs, even athletic gear and children’s toys.

How Much Do Stand Up Pouches Cost? (Traditional Printing-Rotogravure)        

·Great question…depends on several things…the structure being used, the size of the bag/pouch itself, if it is printed or plain, and the quantity you are ordering.  Our pouches range from $.05 cents to $.50 cents and more depending on how elaborate they are. ·KEY thing to remember when thinking about cost…talk to your Project Manager…where are you “hoping to be” and let us help…if it is possible, we’ll tell you, if not, we’ll tell you that too…but it will save everyone a lot of time
