Printing plates for custom bags & boxes

What are plates & why can they be so expensive?

As the holiday season approaches, it’s time to think about having your packaging custom printed so that your customers carry out your advertisement with every purchase.


The plate charge is a one-time charge to make a printing plate especially for you. What you are purchasing is an “actual” metal or rubber stamp that has been designed with your logo so that your bags, boxes, Drop Stops or wine openers can be inked or hot stamped. 

These stamps are similar to that of an ink pad & stamper that you would find at your local art store, only on a much larger scale.


Here's a photo of an actual printing plate:

Depending on the company, plates are held for a certain period of time, commonly 2-3 years from the last use. 
Because our custom printing service is so popular this time of year, please get your order to us as soon as possible. It takes 4 to 5 weeks from your approval of the proof to delivery.
