Minimal Streetwear Apparel Shopping Bag

The card is heavy, so an empty bag stands on the table instead of folding over, and the walls do not give when the bag is picked up. The finish is matte: shop lights do not bounce off it, so the dark grey stays flat and even in photos rather than showing a hot spot. Dark grey also sits with black, navy, denim and off-white, so it does not fight whatever is inside. Dark grey is the one colour that does not compete with what the customer is wearing.

The handle is a round cotton cord with a smooth surface and no loose fibres to catch on. That is the part that matters for clothing: a customer carrying the bag against a knit sweater, a wool coat or a silk shirt does not pull a thread out of it, and nothing on the bag leaves a mark on the fabric. The cord is soft enough that it does not dig into the hand when the bag is full, and it is dyed black, so it reads as one line against the dark grey rather than a second colour.

- The cord ends pass into the bag and are fixed inside with a reinforcement, so the load does not pull on a single layer of paper

- The inside of the mouth is built up, so the top edge does not split after the bag has been carried many times

- All of that sits inside, so the front of the bag stays clean

This is a bag meant to be carried again, not thrown away after one use.

Size, colour and print all follow your brand. Sizes are cut to order: a bag for one T-shirt and a bag for a puffer jacket are set around what goes in them. The paper can be run to your colour chip — dark grey is the version shown here — and the cord is matched to the paper or set in a contrasting colour. The print is one colour: white on dark grey reads from across a shop floor. Artwork is printed to your file, so the whole run comes out the same. Tell us what goes in the bag and we set everything else around it.

- Streetwear shops — one piece goes over the counter at a drop or a limited release

- Concept stores — a single garment or an accessory, one bag to a customer

- Apparel shops — a T-shirt, a pair of cargos, or a folded jacket

- Pop-ups and events — a few hundred handed out in a day, so two or three sizes on hand

- Gift packing — the bag is the wrapping, so nothing else goes around it

Dark grey sits with a black-and-white shop fit without clashing.

We are a source factory, not a trading office: the printing, the lamination, the die-cutting, and the folding and gluing of our boxes are all done in our own workshops, and our paper bags are made the same way, so nobody in the middle is guessing at your order. On the box side, we make mailer, lid-and-base, drawer, magnetic flip-top, folding, and jewelry boxes, with liners and inserts fitted where they are needed; on the bag side, cotton-rope, ribbon-handle, flat-paper, die-cut handle, kraft, colored card, and specialty paper bags. We make boxes and bags for consumer electronics brands, power bank and earbud sellers, digital accessory makers, small home appliance brands, and sellers shipping through marketplaces and their own websites. Small batches and full container orders are both welcome; a few hundred pieces to start is no problem. You send us your logo or your idea, we make a sample first and shoot it in real light so you can approve it, then we run the order. One coordinator follows your order from the first drawing to the day it ships.
