For a new design for PE (polyethylene) bags, there will be costs for creating the plates for printing. It would be USD270, per colour, per plate. For example, if you use 9 colors on your bags, then the cost compute would be USD2,430. One plate can be used for only one bag size. Also, you need more plates for the different bag sizes (10kg, 5kg, 2kg, 1kg). We also need one month to produce the bags for a new 'customised' brand.
