Marketing in a Bag
How do you reach the consumer? This is an age-old question that is constantly more difficult in a world where every park bench has an advertisement on it. According to local entrepreneur Cheryl Kinney, taking a product that historically served the electronics and semiconductor markets, and using it as a mailing envelope is making a large impact in the world of mass marketing. The product, called Mailingl bags has proven highly effective and is making an impact.
The Mailing bag is a slick, transparent, static- shielding pouch that is normally used for computer chips and other electronic components. "Because the bag looks high tech and sophisticated, I have turned it into a marketing agent," says Kinney. Bags are used as envelopes for direct mail marketing as well as attention grabbers for presentation packets at trade shows and networking events. They can be ordered with or without a zip- lock closure and can also be heat sealed as a more automated process when doing a large mailing. A business logo or return address can be permanently hot stamped on the bag at the factory. Many sizes are available but three have proven to be exceptionally popular with area businesses. The "Impact" mailer is 4½ x 9½ inches, the same as a #10 business envelope. "It's great for mailing a tri-fold, 8½ x 11 inch brochure," says Kinney. "The brochure can be seen through the bag to pique the recipient's interest." A 6 x 10 inch size will accommodate a large postcard and the 12 x 10 inch "Master Mailer" is a good fit for a catalog or small newspaper.
"With the implementation of the national Do-Not-Call Registry, marketers must shift their efforts away from cold calling by telephone and come up with new, creative ways to approach their prospects," says Kinney. "A mailing that arrives in an Mailing bag stands out from the rest of the mail and will get opened -- usually first -- and that's the goal: Get noticed, be remembered, always use Mailing bags."
On a national scale, Verizon and Jaguar have used the bags for mass mailing product introductions. Locally, Mailing bags are being used for mailings by financial institutions, real estate firms, travel consultants, and other businesses of all sizes. Lynn Allen of Atlantic Investment Group in Stevensville has received unsolicited, positive feedback from many of her clients and prospects that have received her materials in the pouch. "My newsletter became a signature piece of mail instead of a throw-away," she says. "Because it was visible through the bag, clients commented that it was very professional and eye-catching. I found it to be extremely cost effective, as well."
For more information about Mailing bags, visit www.polybags.co.uk or call Sales at Polybags 020-8575-8200.

CUSTOMER GUIDE TO ARTWORK ON POLYBAGS
ARTWORK SHOULD BE CREATED IN THE FOLLOWING APPLICATIONS
Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Indesign, PageMaker
Quark
Artpro
Macromedia Freehand
Please be aware that in some cases, latest software release versions may not yet be supported. We will let you know if there is an issue with the release version used.
Print Plate production is performed on a Macintosh Operating Platform and so files must be Mac compatible.
FILE FORMATS ACCEPTABLE
As well as from the above applications, eps, jpeg, tif and pdf file formats are acceptable.
All photographic images must be saved as CMYK.
If file format is a problem we will be able to recreate from a hard copy but there will be a cost involved and potential matching issues if the design is intricate.
Resolution required for bitmap based file formats must be at least 300 dpi at the actual artwork dimension size, otherwise quality will not be acceptable when printed.
FONT CONSIDERATIONS
To avoid problems of compatibility with fonts, all designs including type must include the associated font file. Please note there are 2 parts to a font file – the bitmap for viewing and the postscript for printing – and both must be included.
Where possible it is preferred that type matter is supplied as ‘outline paths’. (Please remember to save a version of the artwork in live fonts as well, as outline paths can not be amended subsequently).
ARTWORK DATA TRANSFER
For files less than 20MB in size please feel free to email to us at artwork@polybags.co.uk . For larger sized files, an ISDN data transfer can also be accepted on request.
We also accept files on Floppy disk, CD-ROM, DVD-R and Zip Disk (100 and 250MB formats). Please ensure if there are multiple files on the disk that the required file is stipulated clearly.
Please always send a hard copy of the artwork by post as well as the digital format.
COST ESTIMATIONS FOR ARTWORK AND PLATES
There are a large number of variables to consider when taking customer designed artwork and preparing it for print, therefore we always reserve the right to amend artwork estimates on sight of the artwork. However we will never amend prices once go-ahead for the order has been given.
We also appreciate that an estimate of artwork/plate costs is required upfront and have prepared a guide to costings below. There are 3 costs to consider – the Repro Artwork costs, the costs of the Printing Plates themselves plus any Proof.
REPRO ARTWORK CHARGES
Line Colour work with Spot Colours
Depending on the complexity of the artwork and if it is all ready set for print, cost will vary from £15- £30
Process Colour work
A basic cost of £30 will be charged with any additional costs from £60-£120 for image retouching
If you provide an Incorrect File Format or if a digital file is unavailable or unusable This will result in additional time charged at £30 per hour. If an image is not in the correct format and can not be converted /scanned it will need to be recreated. In such an event we will quote beforehand and only go-ahead with the Repro Artwork with your agreement.
PLATE CHARGES – PLEASE ESTIMATE BASED ON £0.20 PER SQUARE INCH OF PLATE
For all line work print, please work on the basis of one plate per colour although there are occasions where more plates will be required, particularly if there is a short print repeat length of less than 12”. If the print is on both sides this will require an additional set of plates regardless of whether the design is identical as the print process is performed on both sides simultaneously.
If a photographic image is required please work on the basis of 4 plates plus an extra plate for any bold type colour required.
PROOFING CHARGES
PDF standard proof - Free of Charge
Cromalin Proof (Advised for all Process print work)
£100 per copy for tone work (£50 for line work) – Add £25 to provide proof on actual film substrate being used.
EXAMPLE (PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE COSTINGS ARE ESTIMATES ONLY)
2 Colour 2 Side print on a bag 15x18” with the print area 10” wide by 8” deep
Loose Registration Line Work with digital file supplied in correct format.
- Artwork = £15
- Plates – Plate Cost = 80 sq inches* x £0.20 = £16.00 per plate x 4 plates = £64.00
- PDF Proof – Free of Charge
- TOTAL ARTWORK/PLATE COST = £79
* When calculating the plate area, use the maximum print width and length as the basis of the calculation.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR GOOD QUALITY PRINT RESULTS
Please bear in mind the following considerations. They can help to improve the appearance of the final product:
- Avoid tight register between colours and if possible leave at least 5mm. A bold white keyline around an image can help with register, otherwise you may experience a slight colour variation where the two colours touch (known as trapping).
- Avoid designs that need to ‘bleed’ to the edge of the film. Whilst this can be done it incurs considerable extra cost. It is preferable to keep at least a 5mm border between the edge of the print area and the edge of the film.
- Avoid print areas that extend over gussets as this can affect the ink transfer as the film will not be flat.
- Try to keep type styles quite bold and avoid small or fine type. Bear in mind the final use of the printed bag. If it is a carrier bag to be viewed from distance rather than close up, bolder styles may be more effective.
- Whilst tone work can be an effective print style with a graduated colour screen, avoid reducing down to zero because when printing there will be a visible point at which there is no longer any print (approximately when the colour % falls below 5%)
- Avoid Light Print on a Dark Film background e.g. White print on an opaque Red film. This is because inks are translucent and so affected by the base colour. In the above example we would recommend printing a red design on a white film or reversing out the colour so that you have almost 100% ink coverage of red on a white bag to give a white design on a red background.
LEAD TIME ISSUES
You can see from the above document that depending on the complexity of the design there can be significant time from sending the initial design idea, to printing plate production. If lead times are critical (and also to avoid unnecessary costs in artwork) it is important to be clear about the design required, to send the artwork in the correct format and to review and approve the proof as quickly as possible.
We will always look to prioritise urgent jobs but obviously they can not be scheduled until the plates are ready.

Encounter Trade Shows are regional
marketplaces where professionals conduct the business of the global plastics
industry (plastic bags

opportunities.
Plastics
Encounter has two shows scheduled in major industry markets in
2004 -- Plastics Encounter
Southeast is set for March 23-25 at the Charlotte Convention
Center in Charlotte, N.C., and
Plastics Encounter Midwest will be held June 22-24 at the I-X
Center in Cleveland, Ohio. These will be the only trade shows in the U.S.
during 2004 devoted strictly to the plastics industry.
Both shows will include first-class conference and seminar programs plus
unique networking opportunities for plastic
bags and packaging
supplies companies.
The Southeast and Midwest regions were picked for shows in 2004 because
both areas have important concentrations of processing plants. North Carolina
itself ranks eighth in the country in plastics
supplies shipments and the Midwest has higher industry employment
and shipments than any other region.
The shows in 2004 will build on the successful Plastics
Encounter Indianapolis event in 2002. There are no Plastics
Encounter shows scheduled for 2003 to allow exhibitors to focus
on the National Plastics Exposition.
Plastics
News continues its highly regarded Executive Forum series in 2003
