Printing on Custom-Shaped Packaging Like Die Cut Mylar Bags –

[mylarbagspro]

I’ve been exploring options for printing on uniquely shaped packaging, specifically Die Cut Mylar Bags. These are often used in industries like cannabis, snacks, or collectibles, and I’m curious about the best way to achieve clean, professional prints on these non-standard surfaces.


Here’s an example of the product type I’m working with.


Has anyone here tried printing on this kind of material or shape? Would love to hear about preferred printer models, settings, or even types of ink that work well with this kind of flexible, custom-cut packaging.

Yeah, I’ve worked with die-cut Mylar bags before UV flatbed printers work great since they can handle odd shapes and surfaces. Make sure the ink is flexible and bonds well with plastic. You’ll want good jigs too to keep the bags in place.

For custom mylar bags, UV flatbed or flexographic printing works best—especially for die-cut shapes. These methods ensure durable, high-quality prints that adhere well to the Mylar surface without peeling or smudging. Just make sure to use food-safe inks and proper fixtures for alignment.

Great question! Printing on die-cut Mylar bags can be tricky due to their flexible and custom shapes. Digital printing works well for short runs, while rotogravure is ideal for high-volume, detailed work. UV-curable inks are usually a solid choice for Mylar surfaces.
