We print 8-colour, 1 200-dpi flexo every single day, but 90 % of our clients still choose a one-colour logo. Why? They think “more colours = more money.” Not here. Our plate-charge is a flat PKR 9 800 no matter how many colours you run, so we rounded up the quickest (and cheapest) ways to make your EVA or frosted pouch scream “premium” without touching your margin.
- Use the Frosted + Clear Split
Print a matte-white flood on the frosted side, leave the other side crystal. Consumers see the product, you still get a billboard. Zero extra cost—we just skip the matte station on the transparent panel.
- Add a 5 mm Tinted Header
A solid 5 mm band at the top hides the zip track, makes your logo pop and uses <0.3 g extra ink per bag. Choose Pantone 877 metallic silver for an instant “tech” vibe or 349 green for organic cues.
- Print a QR “Care / Recipe” Code
Instead of stuffing a paper insert, print a 10×10 mm QR on the back that links to a how-to video. Saves paper cost, boosts SEO time-on-page, and trackable for re-marketing.
- Micro-Perforate One Corner
We laser micro-perf (0.4 mm holes, 8 mm spacing) so the pouch degasses—perfect for roasted coffee or naan chips. Adds 0.002 cents per bag and removes the need for a one-way valve.
- Reverse-Print Warning Icons
Print “recycle” or “dissolve in water” icons on the inside of the EVA or PVA film. They’re protected from scuff, no extra plate, and the consumer sees them when the bag is empty—right when they’re deciding how to dispose.
