Overprinting for Pouches
Overprinting is a practical and efficient print method used to apply branding to off-the-shelf pouches. It’s well suited to shorter runs, seasonal products, or businesses looking for a fast turnaround without committing to full custom-printed film.
If you’re looking for a quick and flexible way to get your packaging into market, overprinting is an excellent option.

What Is Overprinting?
Overprinting involves printing directly onto the surface of a readily available off-the- shelf stock pouch, rather than onto packaging film before conversion. Since the pouch is already made, there is no need for printing plates or extended setup, which helps reduce cost and lead time.
This process is carried out using high-resolution digital equipment and is ideal for simple designs, product information, batch codes, and core branding elements.
