Default Printing on Poly Mailers?

I am interested in printing on the poly mailers I use to ship my orders. They are made of polyolefin.

You can see the bags here.

I've been looking at the specs on various Nazdar inks made for polycarbonate, polyethlyene, and many other polys, but am not sure if any of these will work. I was also considering vinyl inks.

Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!

I'd call Nazdar. They most certainly would hold some knowledge as to which series of ink would be the best... they will even point you to a distributor closest you, i'd bet.

Well, I dont have any suggestions on actually printing on them. Have you thought about putting a vinyl sticker on the mailers?

I just tried some Nazdar 9700 series Multi-Purpose Screen Ink. Took probably close to an hour to air dry, but seems to be what I'm looking for.

The ink stretches with the bag, doesn't crack, and is very hard to scratch off. Definitely worth a shot to add some flavor to your packaging!

Will post pics when I can.
