Branding comparison
Screen printing vs Heat transfer printing: Which Is Better for Branding Bags?
Screen printing: ink is pushed through a mesh stencil, one colour at a time, then cured. Heat transfer printing: a printed film is pressed onto the bag with heat and pressure.
Here is how the two methods compare for logo branding on bulk bag orders.
Quick answer
Screen printing suits bold logos on large bulk runs; heat transfer printing suits multi-colour logos and short runs. Heat transfer printing handles fine detail better, and screen printing is the more durable finish.

Questions buyers ask
Something else? Ask on WhatsApp and the production team will reply.
Is screen printing or heat transfer printing more durable?
Screen printing is generally more durable (very good).
Which is cheaper for bulk orders?
It depends on the number of colours, logo size and quantity. Screen printing: one screen per colour. Heat transfer printing: transfers are printed first. Setup costs are spread over the order, so larger quantities lower the per-piece cost.
Will I see the branding before bulk production?
Samples can be arranged before bulk production so you can check material, stitching, size and branding. Sample terms are confirmed with your quote.
