Selecting Materials, GSM & Structures for Kraft Paper Gift Bags
The materials used in paper making and the way the paper is constructed all play a part in determining its durability, appearance, and carrying power. Selecting the right GSM, handle type, and structure means that your kraft paper gift bags won't fail to hold the product weight you intend to put in them, and they'll look as neat as you want in the store.
The most popular choice is brown kraft paper, which is eco-friendly, cost-effective, and durable. White paper gift bags offer a lighter background colour for intricate graphics and vibrant branding. For a high-end retail store, a luxury retail shop, and fashion brands that want to give their presentation a higher touch, black paper gift bags are often chosen.
CUK paperboard (also known as Coated UnBleached Kraft) is a natural kraft core that has improved print quality and strength. For brands that care about using good packaging materials, recycled paper gift bags and kraft paper gift bags that meet FSC certification standards are available.
The thickness of paper is measured in gsm (grams per square meter). Takeaway packaging, gift bag wrap styles, and mini retail items use lightweight paper with a GSM rating of 120-150. The most common is 150-200 GSM for clothing, gifting, and other retail takeaway applications. The heavier ones, like premium euro tote bags, will normally involve 200-300 GSM materials, which will provide them with more rigidity and structure.
The dimensions are always listed as the width x gusset x height. The width of the side panels when the bag is fully expanded is called the gusset. Standard sizes include small 5"x3"x8", medium 8"x4"x10", and large 10"x5"x13" bags. To ensure a comfortable fit for the product, there should be a margin of 1-2 inches of space beyond the product's dimensions.
Paper wine gift bags employ taller, narrower constructions with 200-250 GSM to withstand the weight of the bottle and enhance the stability during transportation. Reinforced bottoms and enhanced handle systems ensure structural integrity of wine, gourmet food, and specialty gifting applications.
Printing, Finishes & Branding Features for Custom Paper Gift Bags
Custom packaging has the ability to transform a kraft bag into branded retail packaging, enabling customers to recognize the brand and promoting in-store presentation. We offer several print options and finishes for boutiques, bakeries, online brands, corporate gifts and promotions.
Digital printing is often employed for short runs and seasonal projects, whereas offset printing is more suited to larger orders in terms of longer runs and the benefits of greater colour consistency and cost effectiveness. PMS/Pantone matching is available to ensure brand consistency between bags, packaging accessories, labels, and marketing materials.
Brands can opt to have their logo, slogan, QR code, event graphics, social handles, holiday artwork, and promotional messaging printed on the front of the bag. The inside of the bag structure is not printed.
Purchasers should know that natural kraft paper isn't white, but brown, when designing the artwork for brown paper gift bags. Kraft is best used with lighter colors and white ink, which seem to look more muted and subdued. Darker and bolder ink colors are best on natural brown kraft (a brown paper with no other color printed on it) for the sharpest contrast and readability. Full color graphics and lighter design palettes are a cleaner surface provided by white kraft paper.
Common premium finishing processes that can be used include matte lamination, gloss lamination, soft-touch coating, spot UV, embossing, debossing, and foil stamping. Euro tote structures are frequently combined with ribbon handles, rope handles, and foil-stamped logos to help retail boutiques and luxury brands offer a more upscale shopping experience.
Other enhancements feature die-cut windows, reinforced base boards, magnetic closures, tissue paper lining, and beautiful ribbon accents for event packaging, corporate gifting, and boutique retail product launches, Christmas paper gift bags, etc.
