Bags By Karen
Welcome to my website BagsByKaren.com!  I specialize in personalization of small to mid-size expanded vinyl bags.  I do this with a process called "HOT STAMPING".  You may ask - what is hot stamping?  We have all more than likely seen it many times and did not know what is was or how it is done.  A few good examples would be something like a pack of matches, a menu or perhaps a vinyl insurance card holder for your automobile.  It is that really bright, many times metallic gold or silver print.  You can not obtain that really bright, vibrant, rich, even reflective foil type print with conventional screen printing.

As far as expanded vinyl and what is it?  Perhaps the best example would be a bank deposit bag that perhaps your bank gave you or maybe you used at work.  It is also referred to as "imitation leather - leatherette - leather like".  CERTAINLY these bags are NOT just used for banking and money purposes by any stretch!!!  The uses for these little bags-pouches are limitless.  From putting in and organizing small items like credit cards - coins - coupons to the larger bags to store-protect-organize papers, documents, manuals, etc.

However one may have acquired one of these little bags, I don't think anyone throws them out!  You find uses for them real quick to store and organize things likes nuts and bolts - cosmetic makeup - coupons, pens, pencils and the list could go on forever!

The special part of what I can do for YOU is personalize a bag with your name, nickname, business-company name, event-function name, etc. on the bag ( s ) you choose at a small fraction of the cost compared to doing this with screen printing.  Quick example:  You want to give each one of your employees a personalized bag with his or her name on it.  If you wanted to do ten bags with a different name on each bag that may cost you $400.00 - $500.00 just in screen/plate setup charges alone not including the bag cost itself.
I could HOT STAMP - personalize ten ( 10 ) of my VBB-47 bags which is a very popular and practical gift size ( bag shown at top of this page ) for around $75.00 with a different name on each bag, INCLUDING cost of bags and ground shipping within the 48 contiguous states.

I also have theme specific specailty images that I have had converted to a magesium die that I can stamp on any given bag and even personalize them as well, as long as we have ample room.  Obviously the bigger the bag - the more running-print room we have!!
