In-line flexo custom printing can be all sides, three colors, full coverage.
Post Printing and Hot Stamping of stock bags is typically one color/one side.

Post Printing and Hot Stamping have the logo applied to the paper with either ink or foil after it has been folded into a bag.

Post printing and hot stamping have limitations including coverage area, panels and colors that can be printed cost effectively, registration, and limited photo or screen tone capability.

However, post printing and hot stamping, most commonly one color on one side, are excellent alternatives for minimum quantity customized bags for smaller businesses and special events - as few as two cases.

As the business grows, full coverage up to three colors is available at low 3,000 bag minimum in-line flexo printing process.
