Need some real-world advice before I invest in equipment.

I’m trying to make high-quality vinyl stickers using UV ink (not UV DTF transparent stickers) like they come off a Mimaki roll-to-roll printer or Roland DG printer, with emboss + spot gloss for packaging.

Main use:

Mylar bags (flexible)

Miron jars (wrap labels)

Questions:

Does ink crack on vinyl when applied to Mylar bags?

Do emboss / spot gloss layers crack with bending?

Can you print directly on Mylar and have it actually last?
