Klein Blue Paper Bag With Satin Ribbon Handle

The bag is Klein blue: the blue is saturated rather than grey, and the front carries bold black letters, printed large enough to read from a few steps away. Blue against black is a strong contrast, so the bag is the one you notice on a shelf or on a rack, and it photographs well when a customer takes a picture.

- The bags ship flat, so one carton holds a deep stack and the warehouse space they take up is small.

- They open out ready to use, and a packed bag stands on its own instead of leaning against a wall or other bags.

- A row of bags on a shelf becomes a display in itself, which is easier for staff to tidy.

- At a fair or a pop-up the bags stand up rather than sitting in a pile in a box.

The card is thickened, so the mouth does not curl outward; the base is folded and reinforced, so a few garments can be carried without the bottom pushing open or the bag pulling out of shape.

The handle is a light blue satin ribbon threaded through the punched holes, with the ends held in place inside, so nothing shows on the front and there is no knot to sit against the paper. The ribbon is wide, so the weight spreads across your hand instead of pressing on one line, and the satin is smooth, which keeps it comfortable to carry. The ribbon is a shade lighter than the bag body, so the blue stays clean against it.

- Your logo, bold letters and artwork can be printed on the bag, with the position and the size taken from your file.

- The bag size can be set to your store's needs, or made to the size you give us.

- The paper colour and the ink are matched to the sample you give us, so the batch is even.

- Trend clothing shops: it works as the shop bag, and blue with black letters is easy to recognise.

- Social-media stores: the colour pops, and it photographs well.

- Cultural gifts and birthday favours: the bag holds its shape, so a small gift can be handed over in it.

- Brand events: easy to hand out in numbers at a fair or a pop-up.

- Accessory shops: small pieces go in one bag, and the bag sits by the counter.

When a clothing shop orders bags, three things matter most: whether the colour matches the brand colour, whether the printed letters are big and solid enough, and whether the dozens of bags in one batch look the same on the shop floor. All three come down to the printing and the mouth gluing, so the colour is matched to the sample you give us, the letters are set to the size on your artwork, and the mouth gluing and the cord holes are checked against the same template — then a few bags from the batch are opened out and compared. This work is done in our own factory, so a problem can be corrected on the spot instead of being shipped back and looked at again.
