texacan84 Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'm glad someone came up with this post. I very interested in that as well. Would really like to know how much it would cost and quanties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Price is all dependent on the design, how many colors, how many bags, etc but there is a minimum order that you will have to buy. The more you buy and the simpler the design and color scheme the cheaper they will be. Someone should be along with more insight, I have never bought printed bags only looked into them for myself.

Frank Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 You can check with clear bags. They quoted me 60 for each color and you would need separate plates for each size. Can't remember if the minimum bag purchase was 15k or 20k. I think my first set would be around 2400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 And they are not made here. Still come from over seas. Per bag was not that bad but the amount for a minimum is. Sorta weeds out the serious ones. Johnson bags were more per color and more minimum. From what I heard they were from over seas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I always thought the best bet was to design your own label (Avery worked for me) and stick them on the bags.......or you could have someone design that first label for you. Have your own logo and add something like count, color, and quantity and you should be fine. I know it doesn't look as professional, but it's a WHOLE lot cheaper and let's face it........if you have a good product, fisherman don't really care. When starting out, I think it's best to keep your expenses to a minimum, and buying pre-printed bags is a hell of an expense! Save those printed bags for a day when your product explodes!

CNC Molds N Stuff Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) You know there are a variety of labels you can use. You aren't stuck with the classic Avery address labels in paper. You can get laser printable flexible labels. I am pretty sure you can even get laser printable clear labels. They cost more per unit I think between the bag, label, and toner cost, but the upfront cost is not that bad. A local print shop might be able to help you out if you don't want to print your own. The hardest part for most people is creating a label that looks good. A simple black on white label that has your name and the bait works though. In my opinion the bait name should pop out more than your name. Once they look at the bag they will see your name. Your name is not going to draw people's attention. You aren't Zoom. Once that changes you can change your label. Anyway, there are some tricks to creating a label that doesn't look like a stuck on address label. Over printing is one. Design your graphics, colors, and background so that it prints slightly larger than the label. Leave some clear space in a contrasting color around the text you want people to read. KEEP IT RELATIVELY SIMPLE. small - Name large - BAIT small - Color (maybe) smaller - Website A flexible label can be nearly as large as the bag and work. ... and put the labels on the bags before putting the baits in the bags.

OK_Fishing Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I contacted a place and was quoted $109 per 1000 with a minimum of 10K quantity order. Additionally, there was a set up fee per color of $250 and a lead time of 4- 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK_Fishing Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 No it wasn't broadway. It was one of those "manufacturers" that actually make the bags (all they make) that so many of the mold, bait making, etc businesses sell to the home hobbyists. even just ordering their plain bags required 10,000 quantity minimum order.

texacan84 Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Holy crap. I had no idea that the cost was so great on printed bags. Would have liked to have done it but not at that cost. Guess Fish is right, Avery labels and laminated bags, guess we are here to stay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sktrbts0311 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have a company here locally in Virginia and they are in the process of making bags for me. They are foil printed on a laminate bag. My current cost for them to make my labels is .25 a piece and I have been using them for a couple years now. They said my cost would go up to about .55 a bag with label. In the past I was ordering laminate bags and just adding my sticker. I will keep you posted on how they turn out. There was no set fee, just cost per label/bag. Jeff Wiked Worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Bison Bags will do a reverse laminate print for your bags. They are out of New Jersey. After the cost of the plates the price is reasonable. We started with 30,000 bags and the cost was about .24 ea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
