Analysing Quotation Information
|
|
1. What determines the cost of my bag?
|
|
|
| Several variables determine the cost of plastic bag. The amount of bags you order greatly affects the cost per bag. By increasing the number of bags purchased, you decrease the cost per bag significantly as compared to a minimum order quantity. Adding ink colours increases the cost. Other factors that affect the cost are the material of plastic bags, its thickness and the handle type. |

2. Why is there an overrun or underrun to be expected?
|
|
|
| All plastic bag orders are subject to industry standard of overrunning/underrunning. This is because we custom manufacture your plastic and then cut it into bags. At the beginning of the process the amount of bags that are printed is determined by total weight of the order and will not be exact. Variations are billed accordingly. |

3. What is a printing cylinder/block, and how do I determine how many I need?
|
|
|
| Printing cylinders/blocks are plates that are used in printing of your bag. You will need 1 block for every colour you print. For example, a bag with 1 colour, double sides will need 2 blocks. For 2 colours, double sides, 4 blocks will be needed. |

|
|
|
4. How long does it take to manufacture plastic bags?
|
|
|
| For most printed plastic bags, the lead time is 6–8 weeks after the approval of artwork, by which 3–4 weeks are utilised for the production of printing cylinder (block). On the other hand, the production of plain plastic bags usually takes 4–5 weeks. Shipping transit time is not included in this estimate. In some instances, rush jobs can be accommodated provided that our production capability fits the requirements. These are only estimates as there are many variables to be taken into account in the manufacturing process. |
