A Laminated Bag is defined as a bag in which the base material is laminated with an OPP (Opaque Polypropylene) film. This film further enhances strength, raises the water-repellent characteristic, and brings more visual contributions to the bag. It has nonwoven material, PP woven material, RPET material, and so on.
Durability: Laminated Bags are better than normal Bags because they are more robust and not easily breakable, making them suitable for carrying heavier items.
Waterproof: The outer layer of OPP film effectively performs a waterproof function, making it applicable in various weather environments.
Easy to Clean: Opp film is difficult to stain, meaning that if it happens to be stained, it is very easy to wipe the opp film compared to the smooth surface of the opp film, which hardly gets stained.
Aesthetic Appeal: The opp film layer can also be preferably printed. This provides an excellent opportunity to have great prints on the bag, making it very advisable for marketing a business.
Nonwoven Material: This is an opaque textile material made from a network of threads that are not interlocked in how the threads of woven fabrics are. It is usually characterized by rigidity, low density, and high adaptability. Moreover, a filter film located on the OPP film will not only enhance the nonwoven fabric’s density but also provide a better-looking fabric when printed. Some of the characteristics observed and highlighted include the laminated woven fabric having the same weight as the laminated nonwoven fabric but the laminated woven fabric being less soft and thick.
PP Woven Material: This consists of oriented polypropylene fiber yarns in a class more robust and stiff than polyester, and hence, it is suitable for applications requiring higher load resistance. The OPP film used to cover and seal the PP woven fabric makes it waterproof and has a much better look and feel than the woven fabric not covered by the OPP film. Rice bags are prepared using this product because it has the right level of bearing density together with performance and a water-repellent kind of feature while also having an industrial use.
RPET Material: This product is crafted with recycled PET bottles, making it a recyclable fabric that is also tough and long-lasting. An OPP film laminates RPET, making the product waterproof and with the right print quality. It also contains recycled material.
Glossy Lamination: These are laminated glossy bags that can be made using the extrusion or adhesive lamination process. Thus, they cover the hard-encased body. It is a technology that does not require glue during the lamination process, and therefore, bags are fashion-like fabric, not the plastic feel when touched or in contact with the skin. The material in your printed bags is laminated; therefore, the patterns have a higher resolution, and there is no smudging or blending of colors as there is in the full glossy lamination on bags. On top of that, the general appearance of the designs is clearer and more attractive.
Matt Laminated Bags: The film used for printing is matte. The bag is a matt laminated bag with a frosted matt face texture that is slightly roughed up. The color, however, is less bright than the standard glossy paper type, which has a cheaper-looking feel. this matt film somehow gives the imagery a regal feel, unlike the cheap kind of look that I see on the images that we produce use the glossy one. Currently, many premium products, especially food products, are being packaged using film with a matt finish.
Gravure Printing: Regarding the type of labels to be printed on laminated bags, it is revealed that before, the intended labels were to be printed using gravure printing, which involves engraving a gravure plate. The pricing of the engraving option could be in the range of several thousand RMB and go as high as 5 thousand RMB, depending on the level of hardness. Because it provides high resolution, sharpness, and fading between colors, the Gravure printing method is apt for large-quantity production, especially in situations where the company requires large quantities in the production line to attain enhanced quality in the production process.
Digital Printing without Plates: This technique has become popular recently and is suitable for small runs since it does not involve making plates. The design colors are bright and appealing, achieved through the Heidelberg printing machines in combination with HP inks. This method is suitable for customers who desire vivid and detailed images, particularly the color detail, while the price per print is relatively steep.
Regular Digital Printing: In this strategy, a thin film is adhered to the substrate material before digital printing is done on its surface. This is useful for designs with color gradients, as the design will be loaded as a single object and visualized in its full glory of shades of color.
Using suitable materials and the proper technique of printing laminated bags are the most practical and serve corporate individualism needs, sealing the deals that the advertisement of brands looks for and being the noblest way of preserving the environment. Excellent sales representatives will offer you multiple options based on your printing design and quantity, allowing you to make a simple choice based on your budget.
