A customer has sent me a sample of this bag, not sure how to print ? luckily its just black 1 colour.
I have a Gloss vinyl black ink and a choroplast black ink that I have used for signs, from the description it say PVC I'm assuming poly vinyl so the gloss vinyl should work.
Has anyone printed one of these , I have seen them printed at outdoor stores but not sure about the ink.
Any input would be appreciated.

Based on the price, I personally would be doing an exit stage left. Too much on the line for me to absorb for any problems.
Now, if you want to go ahead, I would highly recommend getting in touch with someone like Diane (Color Your World) to print vinyl transfers and press them on with a heat press. I imagine she would even produce a sample for you to try.
I did about 350 nylon bags a few months back using vinyl transfers and they worked out fine.
Oh, by the way, I tried printing one with athletic ink and nylabond. It was a complete disaster.

we print things like this with vinyl ink. works great. the air dry makes them much easier to work with.
it also lets the print sink in and adhere, vs sitting on top and chipping off.

Thats what I'm going to try an air dry vinyl ink thanks, my ink supplier confirmed that it should work.
