Does anyone know of a company who supply and specialise printing onto sellophane plastic packing?

The bags will be various sizes around 125 x 100mm and 270 x 90mm, they also need to be heat sealable.

It would probably be for small runs - 2000 to 4000 per size.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you are after someone to do the printing for you or to print it yourself. If the latter then try this company: http://www.markem.co.uk/

Thanks, that looks interesting.

Initially we were looking to having it done by a third party but if the price is right, the DIY option may be better in the long term.

Cheers

When had the bakery used to buy rolls of printed packaging for use on a heat sealing packaging machine.

I'm sure for small amounts would be costly, as initial run always more expensive.

I can dig out a number for you? Will respond with it later.

We use this company for one of our lines

Do not forget there maybe tooling costs involved which may not be worth it for a one off order.

I will have a look tomorrow at who else we use.
