Price Guide
All quotes include pricing for one color imprint and one location.
The printing method you choose for your custom wine bags determines what your logo looks like, how many colors you can use, and which materials are available to you. Most buyers don’t need to become experts on printing — but understanding the basics helps you match your artwork to the right bag and avoid surprises. Here’s how each method works.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is the standard method for custom bags and the one included in all of our quoted prices. A mesh screen is created for each color in your design. Ink is pressed through the screen onto the bag fabric one color at a time. The result is a clean, durable imprint that holds up through years of use and hundreds of washes (on cotton).
Colors: 1-4 spot colors per imprint area. Each color is a separate screen and a separate pass through the press.
Best for: Logos, wordmarks, simple graphics, text. Any design that works in flat, solid colors.
Works on: Non-woven, cotton/canvas, insulated bags, nylon, polyester.
Imprint area: Defined area on the bag (usually front and/or back panel). Not edge-to-edge.
Durability: Excellent. Screen-printed ink bonds to the fabric and doesn’t crack, peel, or fade under normal use.
Cost: Included in standard pricing. Additional colors add a small per-unit charge.
What screen printing can’t do: Gradients, photographic images, and designs with more than 4 colors. If your winery logo includes a watercolor painting, a detailed vineyard photograph, or a design with subtle color transitions, screen printing won’t reproduce it accurately. You’ll need full-color CMYK printing on a laminated bag.
Full-Color CMYK Printing
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) printing works like a high-end digital press. Your artwork is printed in full photographic quality with unlimited colors, gradients, and detail — edge to edge on every panel of the bag. There are no imprint area restrictions. Your design wraps the entire bag including sides and gusset.
Colors: Unlimited. Full photographic reproduction.
Best for: Vineyard photography, complex label art, detailed illustrations, designs with gradients or subtle color transitions. Any artwork that would look wrong as flat spot colors.
Works on: Laminated bags only. The smooth laminated surface is required for CMYK ink adhesion and quality.
Imprint area: 100% coverage, edge to edge, all panels.
Durability: Excellent. The lamination layer protects the printed artwork from scratching, fading, and moisture.
Cost: Higher per unit than screen printing due to the laminated material and longer production process.
The tradeoff: Full-color CMYK is only available on laminated bags, which have a 2,500-unit minimum and 60-90 day production time. If you need fewer bags or faster turnaround, screen printing on non-woven or cotton is the better path — even if it means simplifying your artwork.
Products: The Double Delight Laminated Bag is a tall-format laminated bag designed specifically for wine bottles with full-color printing. Browse the full laminated bags category for additional styles.
Foil Stamp and Hot Stamp
Foil stamping presses a metallic or colored foil onto the bag surface using heat and a custom die. The result is a shiny, raised imprint that catches light and adds a premium, tactile quality that ink-based methods can’t match.
Colors: One foil color per stamp (gold, silver, copper, and other metallic finishes available).
Best for: Luxury branding, small logos, monograms, text. Creates a high-end look on wine bags for premium wineries, corporate gifts, and special events.
Works on: Non-woven, cotton/canvas, and some insulated styles. Not all products support foil — check individual product pages or ask your rep.
Imprint area: Smaller than screen print. Best suited for compact logos and text rather than large-area designs.
Durability: Good. Foil adheres well to fabric but can wear over time with heavy friction.
Cost: Higher than screen print due to the custom die and foil material. Best suited for smaller runs where the premium look justifies the added cost.
When to use foil: When you want the bag to look expensive. A gold foil stamp on a black or burgundy non-woven wine bag, or on natural cotton, creates an immediately upscale impression. Popular with wineries for tasting room retail, holiday gift packaging, and wine club welcome kits.
Which Method Should You Choose?
Your logo is 1-3 flat colors: Screen print. It’s included in the price, it’s durable, and it ships fast.
Your artwork is photographic or complex: Full-color CMYK on laminated. The only method that reproduces it faithfully. Plan for 2,500-unit minimum and 60-90 day lead time.
You want a luxury look on a simpler bag: Foil stamp. One metallic color, small imprint area, high perceived value. Works on non-woven and cotton.
You’re not sure: Start with screen printing. It works on every material, it’s the most cost-effective, and it handles the vast majority of logos and wordmarks. If your artwork doesn’t translate to spot colors, we’ll flag it during the proof process and recommend alternatives.
The Free Proof Process
Regardless of which printing method you choose, every order includes a free digital proof. You submit your artwork (logo file, vector file, or high-resolution image), our design team creates a mockup showing exactly how it will look on the bag, and you approve it before production begins. If something doesn’t look right, we revise it at no charge. You never pay for a bag you haven’t approved.
