As a change to T-Shirts, we thought we’d print our amazing colleagues these beautiful festive totes this Christmas…perfect for helping Santa to deliver those gifts!

Printed using MagnaPrint ™ Aquaflex V2, HB and Bling…just look at how the red features sparkle!

Print Sequence;
1. MagnaPrint™ Aquaflex V2 Neutral – 2 strokes – 43t/110 mesh
2. Flash 3-4 seconds
3. MagnaPrint™ HB PMS 4172 – 2 strokes – 62t/158 mesh
4. MagnaPrint™ HB PMS 3302 – 2 strokes – 62t/158 mesh
5. MagnaPrint™ Bling PMS 200 – 2 strokes – 43t/110 mesh
6. Flash 3-4 seconds
7. MagnaPrint™ Aquaflex V2 White – 2 strokes – 62t/158 mesh

Cure at 160°c/322°f for 2 minutes

Tips;
Place screens upside down/opposite to usual and print onto smaller pallets to suit the smaller bag size.
Apply a base layer of Aquaflex Neutral to prevent the HB colours from bleeding through the bags onto the pallets – this also helps provide a smooth layer for the Bling to sit on.

Wishing all our wonderful customers and colleagues a happy holiday season! 🎄🌟

Last week, our Magna Brand Product Management and Applications teams visited Avient's facility in Kennesaw, Georgia! The team provided refresher training to the US and LATAM Commercial and Field Tech associates on the Magna Water-based product portfolio.

With a packed agenda of presentations, print techniques, troubleshooting, and a concluding quiz to test the knowledge of the 'students', it proved to be an informative, collaborative, and entertaining week together. Thanks to all involved...a fantastic example of global teamwork! 👏🏻
