WHAT CAN CUSTOM WINE BAGS DO FOR MY BUSINESS?


Each year, more and more of our customers are investing in having their paper bags printed with their store name and logo. They appreciate  the benefits that come from “branding” their business.

Packaging printed with your store name is a walking advertisement. It’s another way to get your name out there for anyone to see.

Having a brand identity gives your customers confidence in you as a stable, dependable purveyor.

Packaging printed with your name shows your pride in your business. It helps justify your prices being slightly higher than the “generic” store down the street. It gives extra cache to the bottle which is brought as a gift, while advertising to the recipient where that great bottle comes from.

People tend to keep nice bags to re-use. It’s just too hard to throw away good looking packaging.

Seeing your name in print helps folks remember it  so they can refer other customers.  It reinforces any other advertising you do.

WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR BAGS TO IMPRINT?

KRAFT BAGS

The number one items that our customers have personalized  are the one and two bottle bags in bleached white or natural kraft.  Unlike most post-production printers, our supplier accepts orders with a low minimum of 500 pieces. You can select from among 20 ink colors or have them hot stamped in a shiny foil for a few pennies more per bag. There is a one-time charge to make your printing plate which is kept on file for you as long as you order once every 2 years. When you email your art or have us set up your copy, we can tell you what the plate charge will be. For the largest block of copy, the one time cost is about $150.00. A smaller logo costs less.  If you need a design, we can quote on an art charge.
                


Some of our customers also like to have matching bags in other sizes. We have Accessory bags,  Newport bags, and Large Shoppers, in both natural brown and bleached white.

                


We also have natural brown kraft wine bags with metallic tints of copper or gold or silver on the outside.



And this year we’re introducing 3 new colors, Chocolate Brown, Olive Green and Burnt Orange. These “Tints on Kraft” are priced slightly higher.

                


Natural Brown and Bleached White Kraft bags with imprinting.  Sizes fit one and two wine or liquor bottles.  One time plate charge determined by the size of the art. Please call (800) 486-6726 to get started.

HOW DO I ORDER?

Easy!

If you have a logo, send  it to custom@moranusa.com. It should be in Adobe Illustrator format. (If it is not on your computer, whomever does your letterhead or business cards or advertising will have it.)

Tell us which bag you would like and where on the bag you would like your printing placed. If you do 2 sides, the upcharge is 25 cents per bag. Tell us what color ink you would like.

We have a knowledgeable, friendly and competent custom printing advisor who will call or email to confirm your order. She’ll even set up the type if you just want your store name and address, phone number, website – whatever - without a logo (symbol or picture.) This is free of charge for one set of proofs.

Before the plate is made, you’ll get a proof to approve. Sign off on it and your order will be started.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Custom printing takes 3 – 4 weeks from the time you approve your proof. During the busy fall season, it can be longer, so try to order NOW for the fall.

Customers who print their paper bags and/or Eco totes with us order again and again. They report that their customers love their bags. Call us at (800) 486-6726 or email custom@moranusa.com and ask for a free sample of any bag.
