Digital Printed Stand Up Pouches are made by Digital Printing Press, for example, HP Indigo.

Digital printing requires no plates during work, meaning NO PLATE COST.

So, when do we choose digital printed stand up pouches, instead of gravure custom printed stand up pouches? Answers are below:

  • Scenario No.1 — Rich in Colors

Our stand pouch design artwork is rich in colors, with more than 5-8 colors used, or even more.

On one hand, this is impossible to go with gravure plate printing any more, if the numbers of colors are more than the printing presses we have per machine. On the other hand that even it is within, one color needs one plate. There is a high plate cost.

What’s even worse? We are not sure if these designs will last in long term or not. Maybe it is only for market testing or maybe we’ll need to change them in the next season. Then the plate cost is a total waste.

  • Scenario No.2 — Multiple Designs

We are a start-up company and we have many ideas in mind. Or we are an established company and need to develop a new product line. However, the budget is tight. What should we do? Choose the flavor or design by hunch? Hmmm… I believe none of us is going to like it this way.

Thanks to digital printing, we can launch multiple SKUs/variants or designs at the same time. For example, 80 designs and 500pcs per design. We put all the variants online and see which one gets the best feedback from the market. Yes, we choose the “black horse” by marketing testing and make decisions based on reasonable data.

Nothing is going to be a waste and guess what? We will not be under the stress of stock/inventory.

As time goes by, the picture is going to be more and more clear. Yes, that is when we should settle down the fixed plans and choose the fixed designs. After that,  we scale up and copy the most profitable projects.

  • Scenario No. 3 — Fast Turnaround

We are in such a hurry to get bags done on short notice. For example, during the COVID-19, we need only 8 days to get 100000pcs mask packaging bags ready for packaging. 

I really need to tell you that digital printed stand up pouches are the key to the hurry. Why? We require no days for making printing plates and set-ups. No time or money needed to be put on printing plates or set-up preparation. The only thing you need to do is send us the artwork in suitable formats. Then we make proofread file based on your artwork and send it to you for approval. Once you approve, we start the production of the bags.

7-15 workdays after, bulk orders are ready for shipment! Such a fast and wonderful turnaround to support you.
