<p>Buying custom products online is not easy. Only a few printers offer a reasonable experience for purchasing custom stuff on the Internet.  Our small team aims to change that. If you're reading this blog, then you're taking an early peek at our vision for how printers should be represented on the web.</p>

<p>Our goal is to make ordering custom products fun, beautiful and intuitive.  There's still a lot to be done, but hopefully you think we're on the right track.  It will be a while before ordering custom bags is "fun" but we genuinely believe that's possible.  For now, we're hoping to at least be somewhat beautiful and intuitive.</p>

<p>There's one ultimate determinant of quality when buying custom plastic bags: printing.  If you've bought plastic bags in the past, chances are you've experienced the limitations of most plastic bag printers.<br/>
</p>

<h3>Limitations of MOST plastic bag printers</h3>

<ol>
<li>Exact color matches aren't doable or cost extra.</li>
<li>Each additional ink color costs extra.</li>
<li>More than 4 solid colors are not possible.</li>
<li>You need to buy 5,000 bags if you want a full color imprint.</li>
<li>You need to pay extra for plates, setups and color matching.</li>
</ol>


<p>There are genuine reasons for these limitations.  Printing on plastic is hard.  That's why we saw a major opportunity to change things and jumped on it.  Our proprietary print methods are changing the nature of the plastic bag market.  Here's a few reasons why our customers love us and you will too.</p>

<h3>Why Custom Bags HQ is awesome</h3>

<ol>
<li>We match any PMS color for free.</li>
<li>We print exactly what you send us, regardless of the complexity.</li>
<li>We let you buy as few as 100 plastic bags.</li>
<li>We never surprise you with hidden charges.</li>
<li>We completely guarantee your satisfaction on every order.</li>
</ol>


<p>So that's the short story of why our plastic bags are the highest quality available. Printing matters and we do it better than anyone.  Any questions?
