Luxury Gold Edge Retail Shopping Paper Bag

The bag carries a gold edge around the whole body: one line along the mouth and one down each side, which frames the white front and leaves the middle clear for your print. The edge is pressed on, the lines run straight and the corners close cleanly, so a row of bags on a shelf lines up, and from across a shop floor the set still reads as one.

The handle is a satin ribbon in cream white, threaded through slots on the inside of the mouth and fixed behind the paper, so no handle base shows on the outside: the mouth stays one clean line, with no webbing and no fitting covering the print. The satin is soft in the hand and spreads the pull, so two garments do not cut in, and the slots are reinforced, so repeated packing does not loosen the handle.

The card is thickened and the face is smooth, so the print comes out clean, and the bag stays stiff even when it is empty. The base is folded: once it is opened out the bottom is flat, so a bag holding a gift box or folded clothing stands on a counter on its own.

On bags, the handles we can fit include cotton rope, paper rope, twisted cord, satin ribbon, webbing, leather-look PU, flat paper and die-cut, and the bodies cover kraft, coloured card and specialty paper. On boxes, we make mailer boxes, lid and base boxes, drawer boxes, magnetic flip-lid boxes, folding boxes, book boxes and jewellery boxes. Where an insert is needed, sponge, EVA, paperboard, pearl cotton, silk and vacuum-formed trays can be cut to what goes inside. For surface finish there is hot gold, hot silver, embossed ironing, texture embossing, concave pressing, UV coating, matte scrubbing, film lamination, die-cut cut-outs, full colour offset, screen printing and digital printing. All of this runs in our own factory, and the industries we have packed for include clothing, beauty, jewellery, coffee, food, tea and mooncakes — tell us the product and the quantity and we set out the options.
