Two Kinds of Ribbon: One to Carry, One to Tie
Most paper bags have only one ribbon, and both carrying and tying depend on it. This bag has two. The handle ribbon is stitched to the bag and carries the weight, so the knot at the bag mouth takes no load. It is satin: smooth and flat, so a full bag does not cut into your hand, and wide enough that the weight spreads across your whole palm. The second ribbon passes through the bag mouth and ties the bag shut, with the bow on the front face and both ends hanging down. Because the closing ribbon is separate, you can untie it and tie it again without the handle going slack, so the gift can be packed and checked first, and the bag tied after.
The Closing Ribbon: Tie It However You Like
- Tie a bow — the ribbon is knotted on the front face with both ends hanging down, which is the look in the photo.
- Tie a single knot — flatter, so the bags can be packed side by side or stacked flat.
- Leave the ends long — the bag is already closed, and the ribbon can be tightened or retied before it is handed over.
Small English Lettering, Printed Clean, Photographs Well
What is printed on the bag is a few lines of small English lettering, not one large logo: this style photographs well and does not compete with the gift inside. The card face is smooth and lies flat, so the print does not jump over the paper grain — the strokes are sharp and the line spacing is even. White card with one light blue ribbon is a clean colour pairing: the ribbon is the only colour on the whole bag, so it looks quiet and light rather than like a promotional bag. Your own logo or wording can be printed in the same place.
The Bag Stands Up, and Keeps Its Shape the Second Time
The card is thick, so the bag keeps its shape: on a shelf or a counter it stands up by itself, and when you pick it up the sides do not fold inwards. Once it is loaded, the walls are still flat and the mouth is still open, so a perfume box or a skincare set goes in without being forced. The card does not get softer with use, so the same bag can be used a second time — taken home and kept for something else.
Good for Birthdays, Friend Gifts and Perfume Boxes
- Birthday favours — one per guest, with the bow tied on the front.
- Gifts for friends — the closing ribbon is retied by the person giving the gift.
- Perfume and jewellery box outer bags — for a boxed item.
- Small boutiques and concept stores — a plain white bag with one light blue ribbon.
- Festive gifts — the bow is the decoration, so nothing else has to be wrapped around it.
We Are a Factory, Not a Trading Office
We are a factory, not a trading office. Every step of this bag — printing, lamination, die-cutting, the ribbon work and the gluing — is done in our own workshops, and our boxes are made in the same workshops, so bags and boxes can be made together on one order. Colour, size, paper, ribbon and artwork are all set by your order, and small batches and full container orders are both welcome.
