How Do You Know If You Can Get an Ink Imprint?

If your image is 2 or less colors
Has Clean Outlines
No Shading
Minimal Overlap of Colors. (some overlap allowed - we need to review artwork)

Example of our customer who had Original Artwork, however they only wanted a 2 Color Foil Hot Stamp, which would also apply
to a 2 Color Ink Imprint. (Both need to be simple)

Original Artwork - Requires a Process Print because logo has:

Multiple Colors in the Olive Leaf Branch
To many colors on top of other colors in the Branch
Tight Registration - Too many colors touching
Shading

Redrawn Artwork for a Foil Hot Stamp (or Ink
Imprint):

Nice Clean Outlines
Simple two color logo
No Shading

Ink Imprint / Flexo-Graphic Printing (1 or 2 Colors)
Flexo printing is a printing technique using water based inks. You can ink print on a wide
assortment of our in stock bags & boxes. You can also get a custom color PMS* match or a
match to a swatch you have when using our inks. An additional ink fee will apply.

*PMS is Pantone Matching System, which is a universal coding system of colors in the
professional printing world.

Plate Charges: Can be a 1 time fee!
We have to create a plate in the size of your logo.
The plate is used to print on the bag or box.
A two color Imprint requires 2 Plates.

Once the plate is created we keep it for your future purchases so you don't have to buy any
more plates! - Unless you want a different size of logo, then you will need to create another
plate.

For example, if you purchase bags and boxes and want your logo on both - and the logo is the
same size, Then you only need to purchase 1 plate.

If you want 2 different sizes of your logo imprinted you need to buy 2 plates. For example you
may be buying jewelry boxes which would have a small logo and shopping bags where you
would want your logo to be larger- this requires 2 plates to be made.

If your logo is also two colors, 4 plates would be required. 1 Plate for each color and size. 2
Sizes + 2 Colors = 4 Plates

Pricing for Ink Imprinting is on each product page. It is the same price as a Foil Hot Stamp, therefore We only have 1 Pricing
Structure called "Imprint Charge"

2 Charges Occur: The Plate Charge and the Imprint Charge

Imprint Charge:
This is the charge that occurs every time you order or re-order. It is the cost of the machine
running all of the boxes and bags through, labor, and foil or ink cost.

Imprint charges for Boxes are:
Per Color and Per 1,000 boxes and Per Category (Style of Box).

Imprint Charges for Bags are:
Per Color and Per Bag Size and Per 1,000 bags.

To Better Explain:
Anytime that the machine has to be changed for a new color or new size of box or bag, a new
imprint charge will occur. Also a new imprint charge will occur at each 1,000 piece interval.
