There\u2019s no such thing as a wrong or a right bag. The type of bag you choose will depend on the kind of products you sell, as well as the customer you\u2019re trying to appeal to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, some of the bags below are better for small items, while others are better for adding a touch of luxury to the in-store experience. Remember, too, that all of these bags can be customized so that they are unique to your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. SOS Bag<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2270\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/types-of-paper-bags-SOS-bag-pinch-bottom-merchandise-euro-bakery-mailing-recycled-vogue.jpg\" alt=\"types of paper bags SOS bag pinch bottom merchandise euro bakery mailing recycled vogue\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SOS bag is the iconic brown bag used for kids\u2019 lunches. You often see it in cartoons\u2014a generic, brown paper with edges that you fold over. The SOS bag can also come with small handles. Typically, it\u2019s used for food and drink items but can also be used for small items like skincare or jewelry. While the bag is known for its natural brown kraft color, it can also be customized and designed in different shades and finishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Pinch-Bottom Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pinch bottom bag gets its name from the tapered bottom. It\u2019s usually used for bakery goods and other<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/custom-food-packaging-boxes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">food items<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It has an envelope-like opening and is grease-resistant inside, which is why it&#8217;s favored by food stalls and coffee houses. It\u2019s also suitable for takeaway bags.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Merchandise Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merchandise bags are probably the most common type of paper shopping bag you\u2019ll see out and about. They come in a variety of styles and sizes, making them an excellent vehicle for customization.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Euro Tote<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Euro tote is a step up from the SOS bag. This paper bag is heavily associated with luxury. These bags tend to be highly customized, down to the look and feel of the handles. When designed well, Euro totes can be their own form of gift packaging and go a long way to boost brand recognition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Bakery Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bakery bags are designed specifically for the food market. They feature wax linings to preserve food items, making them a great option for muffins, bread, pastries, and more.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Mailing Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mailing bags get a sneaky mention on this list. Even though they\u2019re more a form of ecommerce packaging, they do have &#8220;bag&#8221; in the name and are made from paper, too. Mailing bags are padded mailers. They\u2019re great for shipping small items to customers who have purchased online. For a deep dive into padded mailers and other e-commerce options,<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/ecommerce-packaging\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out this article about ecommerce packaging<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7. Recycled Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While all paper bags are recyclable, not all paper bags are recycled. By this, we mean that not all paper bags are made from material that has already been used. However, you can specifically pick at least partially recycled paper bags. Doing this is great for the environment and is something you can shout about to your consumers who, as we\u2019ve seen above, appreciate when brands choose paper-based packaging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Vogue Bags<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vogue bags ooze luxury and theater. These bags are more than just a paper bag; they\u2019re an experience. With tissue paper, freebies, handwritten cards, and more to be usually found inside, these designer paper bags are a great way to make your clients feel like a million bucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common Types of Handles<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paper bags are about more than just the bags themselves; the handles play a huge role, too. There are a variety of customizable options, ranging in price and look and feel. Take a look at some of the most frequently used options below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Ribbon\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ribbons are pretty, glossy, and add a touch of luxury to paper bags. They are also easily customizable. They can come in almost any color and suit most of the bag types mentioned above. Ribbons are quite durable but would not be appropriate for really heavy items, as they may snap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Cotton<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cotton has a similar look and feel to ribbon. It also portrays a sense of luxury, finesse, and is easily customizable. The main difference between cotton and ribbon is cotton\u2019s durability. Cotton is a dense, strong material, meaning it can carry heavier products than ribbon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Twisted Paper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2267\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/common-types-of-handles-ribbon-cotton-twisted-paper-folded-paper.jpg\" alt=\"common types of handles ribbon cotton twisted paper folded paper\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twisted paper handles are a cheap and cheerful option. While they aren\u2019t as premium as cotton or ribbon, they are cost-effective and also very strong. They can endure a heavy weight and are extremely easy and quick to produce for manufacturers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Folded Paper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Folded\u00a0 paper is another cost-effective option. These handles are made from a piece of paper, making them great for lightweight purchases and small bags. However, be warned, folded paper bags tear easily if the weight of the bag gets too heavy. These handles also tend to disintegrate in heavy rain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Let\u2019s Get Bespoke!\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve chosen the type of paper bag you want and the coordinating handle, it\u2019s time to think about customization. This stage is an opportunity to let your creativity shine and turn your visions into reality. No idea is too bold or whacky. Custom <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paper gift bags<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a blank canvas that&#8217;s perfect for your art!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of cost, it\u2019s important to note that the size of your bags directly correlates with the price. Depending on what kind of products you sell, you may want to order a few different sizes of bags. Similarly, the cost is strongly dictated by the amount of bags you order. How many stores you have will dictate the number of bags you need. You can choose to buy paper bags wholesale and keep them in warehousing facilities. Alternatively, you may want to put in a repeat request for your customized bags each month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Color Your Bag Beautifully\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose any color, or colors, for your bag. Aside from colors, you can add colored features, like stripes, your logos, artwork flowers, and more. You\u2019ll notice that a couple of acronyms pop up again and again when you\u2019re looking at designs:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/rgb-cmyk-color-printing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RGB and CMYK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. RGB stands for red, green, and blue. These colors are used for images on your computer screen. CMYK stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (Black). If your design contains three or less colors, then RGB will be adequate. But if your design is more complex, then CMYK is the option you should go for. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2269\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/rgb-cmyk-printing.jpg\" alt=\"rgb cmyk printing\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Carefully Choose the Type of Paper<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s more than one kind of paper that you can use for your bag. Paper varies in strength and thickness. The stronger the paper, the better it is for heavy products. However, if you sell lightweight products like jewelry, small gift items, and other accessories, then you may want a lighter paper option. Here are the main types:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Kraft paper: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kraft paper is what\u2019s used for SOS bags. It has a natural, eco-friendly feel and is cost-effective. Kraft paper is best used for small to medium-sized items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Recycled paper:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Recycled paper comes from 100% recycled paper, making it a great choice for eco-conscious brands. Recycled paper is also very versatile and varies in thickness, making it suitable for all types of products.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Art paper: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Art paper is derived from wood pulp. As the name suggests, art paper is ideal for creating designs because it has a smooth texture. Like recycled paper, art paper comes in varying thicknesses. Art paper also varies in terms of textures.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>3. To Laminate or Not to Laminate?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lamination is a process where a thick layer of plastic is applied to your paper bags, giving them an enhanced finish and improving durability. There are different types of lamination finishes, which we\u2019ve put in the handy table below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Lamination<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Gloss<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Matte<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Satin<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Metallic\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Finish<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glossy, luxurious finish<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elegant, understated finish<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Velvet, textured finish\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luminous, bright finish\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Price\u00a0<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$$<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$$<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$$$<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$$<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Durability<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dirt, dust and fingerprint-resistant<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More prone to scuffing &#8211; should not be used on dark colored bags\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most scuff-resistant option<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dirt, dust and fingerprint resistant<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><b>4. Finishing Touches<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outside of your bag is now looking beautiful, but what about the inside?
