Logo printing on waist bags
Waist Bags can be branded with screen printing, woven labels, patches and metal logo plates and heat transfer printing. The best method depends on your logo, the material and the quantity.
Quick answer
Screen printing is the most common way to brand waist bags — bold logos on large bulk runs. For one or two flat colours, large quantity, choose screen printing. The usual logo position is the front panel (embossed or foil).
