MORGAN CHANEY'S IN-HOUSE

SEMI-CUSTOM PACKAGING

divider-image

Semi-Custom Packaging is when stock packaging products are custom printed after they have been manufactured. This differs from fully customized packaging where product materials are custom printed and then later formed into the final product. With semi-custom printing, you can choose a stock packaging item like a bag or box, and then custom print it with your logo or design. You can choose your printing colors, foils, and designs much like you can with fully custom printing.


Every custom packaging project is unique, and so is our pricing.

MORGAN CHANEY’S IN-HOUSE SEMI-CUSTOM PRINTING

When you need custom printed packaging, but don’t have months of lead time or multi-thousand order quantities, Morgan Chaney’s Semi-Custom Printing program is a great solution. We offer in-house custom printing completed at our Phoenix warehouse and shipped anywhere around the U.S. By utilizing our in-stock paper bags, plastic bags and gift boxes we can imprint your packaging affordably and fast because unlike others who outsource the printing, we do it ourselves. Semi-Custom Printing allows for smaller quantities because we stock the packaging at our warehouse and print each item one at a time by hand. 

We offer post-printing on many of our in-stock packaging products such as paper bags, plastic bags, gift boxes, apparel boxes, gable boxes, and gift certificate folders. Our quality, attention to detail, and fast lead times makes us one of the best in the country. For those interested in environmentally friendly packaging we also have product options containing high contents of recycled materials.

SPECIAL NOTES:
There are some limitations with Semi-Custom Packaging because of the methods used to print. Because the products have already been made, we can only print on the center areas of the face and backs of bags. Printing into the gussets of bags, near the extreme edges or running the imprint off the edges or over the handle area of shopping bags is not possible with post-printing. Printing on boxes is limited to areas of the box that have a common thickness of paperboard anywhere the imprint appears. There are certain design restraints with Semi-Custom Printing but we are capable of printing designs with screens and detailed graphics. Contact us to speak with our talented packaging consultants and graphic designers about your desired packaging design.

PRINTING FAQ

What is Semi-Custom Packaging™?

Semi-Custom Packaging™ refers to custom printing on stock packaging products after they have already been manufactured. This allows you to choose from in-stock bags, boxes, and other packaging items, and personalize them with your logo, colors, or design.

How is Semi-Custom Packaging™ different from fully custom packaging?

With Semi-Custom Packaging™, the printing is done on pre-manufactured packaging items, which allows for smaller quantities and faster lead times. Fully custom packaging involves printing the material first and then forming it into the final product, which usually requires larger order quantities and longer production times.

What products can be customized with Semi-Custom Printing?

Products include paper shopping bags, kraft eurototes, plastic bags, gift boxes, apparel boxes, corrugated boxes, gable boxes, and more. Contact us to confirm if your desired packaging item is eligible.

What are the order quantity requirements for Semi-Custom Packaging™?

Semi-Custom Printing allows for lower minimum quantities compared to fully custom orders. Specific quantities depend on the product type and design complexity.

Are there any limitations with Semi-Custom Printing?

Yes, printing is restricted to the center areas of bags and boxes. Printing on gussets, near edges, or over handles is not possible. Our team will guide you through these limitations during the design process.

What is foil hot stamping?

Foil hot stamping uses a metal plate and heat to transfer foil onto packaging products. It creates a high-quality, luxurious look and works well for logos and simple designs.

What products can be foil hot stamped?

Paper shopping bags, paper eurototes, plastic eurototes, gift boxes, jewelry boxes, and more. Contact us for the full list of eligible products.

What colors and finishes are available for foil hot stamping?

Choose from a variety of foil colors, including matte, gloss, and metallic finishes, to complement your branding.

Can complex designs or multi-color logos be hot stamped?

Multi-color logos are possible but may require additional review by our graphics team to ensure feasibility and quality.

What is ink printing?

Ink printing uses a flexographic process to apply water-based inks to packaging products, creating vibrant, custom designs at an affordable price.

What packaging products can be ink printed?

Paper shopping bags, kraft eurototes, folding paper boxes, and corrugated boxes are common choices. Contact us to confirm other product options.

What ink colors are available?

We offer standard PMS colors, with the option to order specific PMS colors for an additional charge.

Are multi-color designs possible with ink printing?

Yes, multi-color designs, screens, and tight print registration are possible, but they require artwork review to ensure quality.

How do I start a Semi-Custom Printing project?

Contact our team with your desired product, artwork, and branding goals. We'll guide you through the process, from design approval to final production.

What design assistance is available?

Our in-house graphics department can help refine your artwork, suggest adjustments for optimal print quality, and ensure your design aligns with printing limitations.

What is the typical turnaround time for Semi-Custom Printing?
