Overview
A carrier bag is a moving advertisement, so it has to carry weight, hold its shape and print the brand cleanly from every angle. We convert bags to order with declared paper weight, handle specification and reinforcement at the stress points.
The same standard applies to a first pilot run and to a full seasonal programme.
Paper and Construction
Kraft from 120-250 gsm, coated art paper and laminated builds are available, each with a different balance of strength, finish and recyclability. Bottom construction, side gussets and turn-over tops are specified on the dieline so the bag stands square when loaded.
- Natural, white and recycled kraft 120-250 gsm
- Coated art paper and laminated options
- Reinforced turn-over tops and base cards
- Square-bottom and gusseted constructions
We document the agreed approach on the dieline or the quotation, not in a separate note.
Handles and Finishing
Twisted paper, flat paper, cotton, ribbon, die-cut and rope handles can be combined with eyelets, knots or concealed glue fixing. Foil, emboss, spot UV and inside printing are available where the paper weight supports them.
- Twisted, flat, rope, cotton and ribbon handles
- Eyelet, knot and reinforced fixings
- Foil stamping, emboss and spot UV
- Inside printing and patterned tissue
A short technical call usually resolves this faster than a long email thread.
Ordering for Retail
Bag quantities are usually planned by store rollout or campaign volume, so we offer tiered pricing and consolidated production across sizes. Cartons are packed to a declared count with size and handle type marked for easy distribution to multiple stores.
- Tiered pricing across sizes and campaigns
- Consolidated production for multi-store rollouts
- Per-size carton marking
- Flat-packed to minimise freight cube
Ask for the supporting document pack if your compliance team needs to review it.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the MOQ for printed bags?
- Typically 500 pieces per design, with consolidation available across sizes sharing the same artwork.
- Which handle is strongest?
- Rope or twisted paper handles with reinforced fixing suit heavier retail loads; we will recommend based on bag weight.
- Are the bags recyclable?
- Unlaminated kraft and art-paper bags are widely recyclable; laminated builds should be specified accordingly.
