Gold Foil Print Kraft Paper Tote Bag With Satin Ribbon

A metal rivet is set through the strap and the card at each end, so the handle is held by metal rather than by glue on its own. Because the rivet passes through the card, the pull of a full bag lands on the fixing point instead of on a small glued patch. The finish of the rivet can be gold, silver or black, so it can be matched to the handle or left bright. The rivet head sits on the front, so the fixing is part of the look rather than something hidden inside.

Gold foil is pressed onto the kraft surface, so the line of type catches the light and lifts off the paper when the bag is turned. Kraft is warm and lightly textured, and the gold reads against it as gift packaging rather than as a label. A short line of type or a single logo sits best on kraft; the foil colour can also be silver, copper or rose gold. The same position can take a UV print or a plain printed line when a brand wants something quieter.

- Kraft keeps a little of its fibre texture, so the bag looks natural next to a candle, a bake box or a bar of soap.

- The card holds together at the top edge when the strap is pulled, because the fibres sit under the rivet.

- Kraft is not bleached white, so a scuff or a mark shows less than it does on a white bag.

- The tone stays close from batch to batch, so a reordered bag still matches the one on the shelf.

- Kraft can be foiled, printed or left plain, so a brand can keep the natural surface or cover it.

- The strap is a flat satin ribbon, so it hangs in a clean line instead of twisting into a rope.

- Satin keeps a soft sheen, so the black picks up light at the fold and reads as a finish rather than as a plain strap.

- The ribbon is wide, so a heavier gift sits flat against the hand on the way out of the shop.

- Black does not show the marks that a light handle picks up on hands and counters.

- The ribbon colour can be changed without touching the rest of the bag.

- The strap ends are fixed with rivets at the top edge, so the front panel stays clean for the foil line.

A skincare set, a candle, a box of pastries or a piece of craft goes into the bag as it is, so a shop does not have to add a box and then wrap it. The foil line on the front already reads as gift packaging, which is why the bag can be handed over without ribbon or tissue on top. The customer keeps the bag afterwards, and the kraft tone sits on a shelf without looking like a shopping bag that was left behind.

Buyers come to our factory for this bag because the foil, the rivet and the ribbon are set on one line: the artwork is checked against the bag, the foil is pressed, and the strap is riveted before the carton is packed. A buyer can take one size or several from the same run, and the kraft, the ribbon colour and the rivet finish are chosen per order. Samples are made from the production card, so the tone of the kraft and the shine of the foil are seen before the order is confirmed. Small orders and repeat orders run on the same line, so a brand can add a size later without changing the look of the first bag.
