Natural Kraft Paper Bag With Black Cotton Rope Handle

The bag is made of natural kraft paper in its own colour, with no glossy film over it. Look closely and the paper has small fibres and little spots in it, and no two bags are exactly the same — that is the paper itself, not a pattern printed on top. The surface is matte, so shop lights do not glare off it and a photo does not throw back a white patch. Left plain like this, the bag does not compete with the product: the candle or the bottle stays the bright thing on the shelf.

The handle is one thick black cotton rope. It passes through the holes at the top and is knotted on the inside; that knot is the one that carries the weight, and you can see it when the bag is open. The rope is round and soft, so a full bag rests on your fingers instead of cutting a line across them. Rope and kraft are both plain materials, and together they make the bag look honest rather than fussy.

The base is folded, so when the bag opens it opens into a flat bottom. It stands on its own even when it is empty, with nothing holding it up. Line ten of them up on a counter and they stay in a row, upright and the same height, which is what makes a shelf look tidy. Load one up and the base still does not bulge or tilt.

-Light yellow kraft — clean and warm, like wood that has not been painted

-Natural brown — the one in the photo, and the shade fragrance brands pick most

-Dark brown — heavier, closer to coffee and old paper

-Off-white kraft — dark printing shows up clearest on this one

-Two-tone — brown outside, pale inside, so the bag shows two colours at the opening

Not sure which one? Start with the natural brown; it goes with almost anything.

-This one prints in a single colour (black) — the Chinese and English names with a small line under them in the upper half, and a short block of English notes lower down

-One colour means nothing has to be lined up and nothing comes out the wrong shade, and it costs less than full-colour printing; a second colour, such as dark red or deep green, can be added

-Chinese and English sit together cleanly, as this bag shows, and the small type is still readable

-The position and the type size can be adjusted — middle of the front, along the top edge, or down the side

-Sizes are made to your product: a candle jar, a perfume bottle, a gift set, or a boxed souvenir — send the measurements and we cut the die to fit

-A few hundred pieces to start is no problem, and bulk orders are welcome too

Scented candle bags, home fragrance shopping bags, cultural souvenir packing and brand store bags all use this same bag, with only the printing and the size changed.

We are a source factory, not a trading office — printing, lamination, die-cutting, and the folding and gluing of our bags are all done in our own workshops, and our boxes are made the same way, so nobody in the middle is guessing at your order. Along with this kraft bag, we make cotton-rope, ribbon-handle, flat-paper, die-cut handle, colored card and specialty paper bags; on the box side, mailer, lid-and-base, drawer, magnetic flip-top, folding and jewellery boxes, with liners and inserts fitted where they are needed. We make bags and boxes for candle and home fragrance brands, essential oil and perfume lines, ceramic and lifestyle studios, museum and souvenir shops, and brand stores that hand their goods over in a bag. Small batches and full container orders are both welcome — a few hundred pieces to start is no problem — and we make a sample first, shoot it in real light for you to approve, then run the order. One coordinator follows your order from the first drawing to the day it ships.
