PROJECT GUIDE
Branding & Special Effects for Custom Bags
Show how the brand should appear, then define the finish you want. Logo application, metallic appearance and reflective effects need a clear visual brief and a separate review of feasibility.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
A visual brief before a process specification
Branded Logo Application describes the goal of applying an authorised brand mark. Reflective & Metallic Effects describe requested appearances or behaviours. These labels do not identify a single production method or establish an available material.
Discuss the application route after the artwork, bag material and desired result are understood. A reference image may help communicate the look, but cannot confirm how it was produced or what MIFAKTORY can offer.
General process guidance. Availability, material suitability, sample scope and production arrangements are confirmed for each project.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Branded Logo Application
For Branded Logo Application, provide the authorised logo version, intended size, colour rules and location. Explain which details must remain legible and whether the mark must follow a specific approval process.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Reflective & Metallic Effects
For Reflective & Metallic Effects, describe the desired appearance using references. Clarify whether the brief is decorative or includes a measurable functional requirement. If a method or finish is prescribed by the brand, include that specification rather than relying on a photograph.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Appearance is not a performance claim
Ask to review the proposed finish on the intended material and at the planned logo size. Identify important viewing conditions and discuss the feel and edge appearance. An AI effect, bright highlight or metallic-looking surface is not evidence of an actual material or measured performance.
This page makes no claim of protective visibility, a certified reflective class, metal content or resistance to wear. If such properties matter, identify the requirement and request supporting evidence for the actual proposed component and application.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
What to prepare
Share authorised brand files, colour references, size and placement instructions, plus any brand approval guide. Add the fabric specification, bag reference, quantity, target market and intended use. Include finish references and distinguish essential requirements from visual inspiration. Confirm that you have the rights needed for the supplied marks and artwork.
PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Approve the mark and the finish
Review logo proportions, legibility, colour, position and the agreed finish on the identified sample. Record the approved artwork version and sample reference. Keep any functional test or certification review separate from the visual approval, with its applicable material and scope clearly identified.

Discuss transfer routes
Transfer printing covers several approaches. Define the artwork, application area and desired finish first, then review the specific transfer route for the proposed material.

Decide how the artwork should appear on the finished bag. A repeat pattern and a positioned graphic need different layout instructions, even when they use the same print method.
