Photo-quality full-colour retail packaging on the strongest substrate in the aisle — woven polypropylene with BOPP laminated graphics.
Print quality on BOPP film rivals flexible film packaging — up to 8-colour rotogravure printing achieves photographic image reproduction, fine text readability down to 6pt, precise PMS (Pantone Matching System) colour accuracy, and specialty finishes including gloss, matte, and metallic effects. Six-colour flexographic printing on BOPP provides a cost-effective alternative for less complex designs while still delivering colour accuracy and consistency across production runs that is unachievable on bare woven fabric.
BOPP printed bags have become the dominant retail packaging format for pet food, charcoal, specialty flour, rice, wild bird seed, and branded animal feed across North America. The combination of superior durability, moisture resistance, and premium visual presentation eliminates the trade-off between package strength and brand impact. Sackora manages the full specification from graphic file preparation through cylinder engraving, print proofing, and production — delivering retail-ready bags that protect your product and elevate your brand on every shelf.

BOPP printed bags dominate the pet food aisle — from 2 kg cat food pouches to 20 kg dog food bags. Photo-quality graphics showcase product photography, nutritional callouts, and breed-specific branding that drives purchasing decisions. The tough woven PP base withstands the rough handling of retail distribution — fork trucks, pallet jacks, shelf stocking — without the tearing and scuffing that damages paper and standard film packaging.
Lump charcoal and briquettes are heavy, sharp-edged products that destroy paper bags and puncture standard film packaging. BOPP printed PP woven bags handle the abrasion and weight of charcoal products while delivering the bold, full-colour seasonal graphics that drive impulse purchases in hardware store end-caps and grocery outdoor displays. The scuff-resistant BOPP surface keeps bags looking fresh through weeks of retail display.
Artisan flour, specialty rice varieties, organic grains, and branded baking products use BOPP printed bags to convey quality and justify premium pricing. The glossy or matte BOPP surface supports the sophisticated typography, photography, and finish quality expected by consumers in specialty and natural food retail channels. PE inner lamination protects moisture-sensitive food products while meeting CFIA food-grade contact requirements.

Flexographic printing uses flexible polymer plates and delivers excellent results at up to 6 colours, with lower cylinder costs that reduce setup expense for shorter production runs. Sackora recommends rotogravure for premium retail brands requiring photographic quality and flexographic for designs with bold graphics and solid colour fields.
The print is applied to the inside surface of the BOPP film (reverse printing) before the film is laminated to the woven PP base fabric. This means the printed image is sandwiched between the BOPP film and the woven fabric, protecting the ink from scratching, scuffing, and UV fading. The result is a durable print surface that maintains colour vibrancy through distribution, retail display, and consumer use.
Sackora requires high-resolution vector artwork files (Adobe Illustrator .ai or PDF format preferred) with all text converted to outlines, images at minimum 300 DPI, and PMS colour callouts for each colour in the design. We provide a dieline template specific to your bag dimensions. Our pre-press team reviews all files for print compatibility and produces digital proofs for your approval before cylinder engraving begins.
Yes. BOPP printed bags can include die-cut carry handles, reinforced plastic clip handles, or sewn rope handles depending on bag weight and retail presentation requirements. Handle placement and reinforcement are factored into the bag design to maintain structural integrity and print appearance. Handles are most commonly specified on pet food, charcoal, and other retail bags over 5 kg.
Custom BOPP printed bags require cylinder engraving or plate making, print proofing, lamination, and bag conversion — a production cycle that reflects the complexity of the printing process. Repeat orders using existing print cylinders are produced more quickly since engraving is already done. Sackora manages the production timeline and provides proofing milestones at every stage so your team can track progress and plan accordingly. We provide a firm delivery timeline at order confirmation.
