Printing to mylar bags

[Draggin]

Is anyone printing onto mylar bags?? I know it can be done with a rack, printer, conveyor system but I can't seem to find any information on it. Don't want anything huge, just short runs of about 300-500 per job.

Thanks!

have you tried with a UV flatbed? I'm sure it can be done....

Or something like a pad printer.

No, I haven't really tried anything yet. I've been researching but it hasn't gotten me far. Was hoping someone has already done it.
Thanks though, I'll look into your suggestions

What type of bags are you looking for and size

Are they the woven polyester bags? Many have success using plastisol with an additive and there are several videos online showing this process. You would need a dryer that can hit 320F. Another option may be solvent base or uv but the polyester may need to be treated.

We printed on mylar bags for a prospective customer in the last month on either a Mimaki UJF-6042 Mk II or a Mimaki 7151 Plus. I'll see what I can find out about it.
