Big Bag Printing

Print your logo on big bags

Design your print directly on the big bag: upload a logo, add text, place it and send it as an enquiry. We print all items from the catalogue from 5 pallets.

How it works

Four steps to a printing enquiry

Step 1

Item and quantity

Choose the item and enter at least 5 pallets. The advisor calculates the number of pieces.

Step 2

Logo or text

Upload your logo or type a text. Removing the background and recolouring in a single colour work directly in the browser.

Step 3

Place it

Drag the motif onto the bag and choose position and size in centimetres. The advisor gives hints on resolution and contrast.

Step 4

Enquire

Send us the preview and the logo file. We get back to you with a print template and a quotation.

Warning prints from the factory

Asbestos and mineral wool: what is on the bag and why

Items with asbestos or mineral wool warning print already carry the marking on one side. Your logo goes on the free side. In the advisor you see the existing print on the right of the bag, so it is clear where your motif has room.

Asbestos warning print: large warning symbol a with German text and six language fields in red and black
This is what the print template looks like (without company logo)

Asbestos warning print in seven languages

What it says. On the left the large warning symbol “a” with the German text, on the right six fields with the same notice in one further language each. In essence every field says the same: the contents contain asbestos, inhaling asbestos dust endangers health, the safety regulations must be observed, the container must be kept closed.

FrenchATTENTION CONTIENT DE L’AMIANTE
DutchVOORZICHTIG BEVAT ASBEST
ItalianATTENZIONE! CONTIENE AMIANTO
SpanishATENCION CONTIENE AMIANTO
PortugueseATENÇAO CONTÉM AMIANTO

Why it is done this way. An asbestos sack travels from the building site via haulage, transshipment and interim storage to the disposal facility, often across borders and through changing hands. The print warns everyone in their own language and states the most important rules of conduct without an accompanying slip being necessary. The data sheets of these items cite TRGS 519 as the standard reference. Which labelling is binding for your disposal route is determined by hazardous-substance law, waste law and your waste disposal company.

Mineral wool warning print: warning triangle with exclamation mark and three-language text in grey
This is what the print template looks like (grey, with ProSafe Big Bag logo)

Mineral wool warning print in three languages

What it says. A warning triangle with an exclamation mark and three lines of text, with the ProSafe Big Bag logo below. The text names mineral wool, refers to fibre dust under TRGS 521 and warns that the contents can release carcinogenic fibres.

LanguageHeading on the print
GermanACHTUNG: MINERALWOLLE! FASERSTÄUBE TRGS 521
EnglishCAUTION: MINERAL WOOL!
FrenchATTENTION: LA LAINE MINÉRALE!

Why it is done this way. Old mineral wool from existing buildings can release fibre dust during removal and decanting, which may have to be classified as carcinogenic. TRGS 521 governs handling during demolition, remediation and maintenance work and is therefore cited on the print. German is intended for the building site, English and French for transport and transshipment across borders. Hazardous-substance law, waste law and the acceptance conditions of your waste disposal company remain binding.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about printing

From what quantity do you print?

Printing is possible from 5 pallets. How many pieces a pallet holds is stated for each item (for example BB90T: 500 pieces per pallet, so from 2,500 pieces).

Which items can be printed?

All items in the catalogue: big bags, sheet bags, container bags, PP flat bags and special big bags.

Which files can I upload?

PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, WebP, GIF and BMP for the preview. You can send AI, EPS, PSD and CDR files with your enquiry. Vector files (PDF, SVG, AI, EPS) give the sharpest template.

How many colours and which print areas are possible?

On our big bags we have so far printed with solid colours (Pantone), for example 1 side with 2 colours or 2 opposite sides with 1 colour. We specify the number of colours, sides and print area in the quotation. We check multicolour motifs with gradients individually.

What applies to asbestos and mineral wool bags?

These items carry the warning print as a marking on one side (asbestos in seven languages, mineral wool in three languages). In the advisor you see it on the right of the bag; you design your logo on the free area. The marking must not be covered or altered. Languages, purpose and appearance of the print template are described in the section “Warning prints from the factory” above.

Does the preview match the final print?

The preview is for orientation. The dimensions refer to the external dimensions of the selected item; the perspective of the photo foreshortens the motif. Colours, sizes and position may differ in the print. We agree the print template with you before production.

What does printing cost?

Prices depend on the item, quantity, sides and number of colours. We state them in the quotation.

What happens to my file?

The preview is created in your browser; the file is not uploaded for this. Only when you choose “Send enquiry” and leave “Send original logo file(s) and preview” ticked do we transmit it by email to our sales team. It is not stored on the web server.
