How to Print Logos & Design PP Woven Bags Effectively

Printing a logo on a PP woven bag is not just a visual step—it directly affects brand recognition, readability, production efficiency, and total cost. Poor design choices can lead to unclear prints, wasted material, or unnecessary tooling costs.

This guide is written from a manufacturer’s expert perspective, and is based on real production and export experience from TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM.

Flexographic (Flexo) Printing on PP Woven Bags

Flexo printing is the most common method for printing directly on PP woven fabric.

Key Characteristics

• Rubber or photopolymer plates

• Ink printed directly onto woven surface

• Cost-effective for large volumes

Advantages

• Lower setup cost compared to BOPP printing

• Suitable for simple logos, text, and symbols

• Shorter production lead time

Limitations

• Limited color accuracy on woven texture

• Fine details and gradients may not reproduce well

• Best for 1–3 solid colors

At TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM, flexo printing is recommended when branding needs are simple and cost efficiency is the priority, especially for agricultural and industrial bags.

BOPP Printing (Laminated PP Woven Bags)

BOPP printing involves printing artwork on a BOPP film, which is then laminated onto the PP woven fabric.

Key Characteristics

• High-resolution gravure or offset printing

• Smooth surface for vivid graphics

• Laminated for moisture and abrasion resistance

Advantages

• Excellent color consistency and sharp details

• Ideal for brand-focused and retail packaging

• Strong visual impact on shelves and export markets

Considerations

• Higher initial setup cost (printing cylinders)

• Best suited for large and repeat orders

• Longer lead time than flexo printing

BOPP printing is commonly used for premium agricultural products, branded exports, and consumer-facing packaging.

Color & Layout Design Considerations

Regardless of printing method, design rules matter in PP woven bag production.

Color Selection

• Use solid colors for better visibility on woven fabric

• Avoid very thin lines or gradients (especially with flexo)

• High-contrast combinations improve readability from distance

Layout Guidelines

• Keep critical text away from bag edges and seams

• Avoid placing logos over stitching or folds

• Maintain sufficient margins to compensate for fabric movement

Technical Alignment

• Artwork should match bag size, weaving direction, and printing method

• Vector files (AI, PDF) are preferred for accuracy

TAN HUNG JSC VIETNAM works closely with customers to adjust artwork for real production conditions, ensuring the final printed bag matches brand expectations without unnecessary rework.

Expert Tips from the Manufacturer

Many printing issues do not come from machines—but from designs created without understanding woven fabric behavior.

Best practices include:

• Designing for the printing method, not just for screen display

• Simplifying logos for flexo printing

• Using BOPP lamination only when branding value justifies the cost

A technically informed design can reduce printing defects, lower costs, and shorten lead times.
