PAPER BAGS DESIGN

 

Our shopping bags are completely customizable such as size, serrated-, slit- or folded-tops, tissue and bottom board inserts, spot varnish, and two-sided printing as examples. All sizes are available with paper twist, ribbon or macram¨¦ handles in a wide variety of standard and custom papers and colors. Papers: Kraft, White, Claycoat, Recycled (Tinted and custom paper available)

 

Serrated Top

  • Most common style of shopping bag
  • Has a serrated top where the bag machine has separated one bag from another
  • Common complementary handles: paper twist and plastic tube


Folded Top

  • Unique and aesthetically pleasing
  • Two types: Ultra and Slit Top
  • With a 1/2" top fold, the Ultra has a smooth-look top -- the top is folded by hand and the handle/patch is attached by hand also, just below the 1/2" top fold edge
  • With a hand-folded, 2-1/4" top fold, the Slit Top has handles that are inserted through slits 3/8" from the top fold line -- because the length of the top fold covers the handle patch, the Slit Top looks sleek
  • The inside folded top area on both bags offers "Turn Top Text" marketing potential: Store names, thank-you messages, website addresses, and telephone numbers are just a few of the possibilities
  • Common complementary handles: paper twist, plastic tube, and fabric cord

Die-Cut

  • Available in serrated or folded top
  • If serrated top, bags are packaged for shipment directly off of the bag machine
  • If folded top, bags are moved to assembly, where the tops are folded by hand
  • Handle area is cut on the bag machine and supported by a clear plastic patch
  • Offered in limited sizes

Macram¨¦

  • With a hand-folded, 1-1/2" top fold, the Macram¨¦ shopping bag also includes a hand-inserted cardboard reinforcement strip measuring 1-1/2" x bag width
  • Handle holes are punched in the top fold (2 -1/2" to 4-1/2" apart, depending on bag size)
  • Handle material is pre-cut to 15-1/4"-- the pre-cut material is fed through the holes and hand-tied with knots on all ends and the four knots on the inside of the bag
  • "Turn Top Text" is available with this style- please note that care must be taken when preparing text/art so as not to interfere with the hole-punch areas of the bag.

Knotless Macram¨¦

  • Knotless Macram¨¦ bags use soft, flexible handles without punching holes and knotting material -- instead, the handle material is affixed directly to the handle patch, which is then applied to the bag
  • With no handle holes, the bag face is graphically uncompromised
  • Three styles: Knotless Macram¨¦ Slit Top, Knotless Macram¨¦ Ultra, and Knotless Macram¨¦ Custom
  • The ultimate in Knotless Macram¨¦, the Slit Top features a 1-5/8" folded top, which covers the inside patch and accommodates top fold graphics -- for the patch and handle assembly, material is fed through a slit at the top fold edge and the patch then is glued in place under the top fold
  • The Knotless Macram¨¦ Ultra is a value-added style that incorporates a 1/2" folded top for a smooth, finished look-- the patch and handle assembly is applied just below the inside edge of the top fold
  • The most economical in Knotless Macram¨¦, the Custom is a serrated top bag transformed into a more upscale option with a rope/macram¨¦ handle -- the patch and handle assembly is applied just below the top cut-off

SURFACE FINISHES

 

These varnishes and laminations will leave your bag with a beautiful, classy finish, as well as protect your custom design. Whatever your preference-from high gloss to satin-our wide selection of varnishes and laminations will make your bag stand out in a crowd.

Ultra Violet (UV) Varnish is an extremely high gloss varnish that rivals lamination without an extra step in the process.

  • Can be applied while printing
  • Available on all substrates
  • Primers are necessary for uncoated papers
  • Can be 100% overprint or a design spot print
  • Can be applied only in preprint

 

High Gloss (Hi-glo) Varnish is a high gloss varnish that is overprinted on claycoat paper.

  • Can be preprinted or tailprinted

 

Matte Varnish is a satin finish varnish that is overprinted (mostly on claycoat paper) to mask the inherent gloss characteristics of the inks.

  • Can be printed on both claycoat and uncoated paper
  • Can be preprinted or tailprinted

 

Standard Overprint Varnish provides color enhancement and depth of color and is used mainly when ink rub protection is needed.

  • Overprinted on uncoated paper stocks (Kraft, White, Flipside, and Oatmeal)
  • Improves metallic ink brightness and printability
  • Can be preprinted or tailprinted

 

Mirage Varnish is a tinted varnish, generally light gray, used to print a vertical mirage stripe pattern. These stripes create the illusion of an embossed pattern.

  • Can be preprinted or tailprinted

 

White Tinted Varnish is printed in many different patterns and graphic themes. It typically overprints other colors in order to simulate screens/tone-on-tone effects.

  • Can intersect with white reverse in artwork without the need for mortise

 

Lamination
Conventional Laminating is a process whereby the inks are printed on the paper stock (normally claycoat) and laminated to clear, unprinted lamination material (gloss or matte). Reverse Print Laminating is a process in which the inks are printed on what will become the underside of the lamination material and then laminated to an unprinted, uncoated paper stock. This is typically limited to solid ink coverages/logos, etc.

Gloss Lamination

  • Extremely high gloss lamination
  • Can be applied to all standard substrates

 

Matte Lamination

  • Satin finish lamination
