Don’t settle for a good gift: How to choose a high-quality Paper Gift Bag

1. Material is the basis, don't go for cheapness

The texture of a paper bag comes first from the material. If the material is thin, soft, and rough, even if the design is good, it is difficult to convey a "high-end feeling".
Common materials commonly used for high-quality paper bags include:
Kraft paper: natural texture, high strength, and environmental protection. It is the most popular paper for paper bags in recent years, especially suitable for retro and simple styles.
Coated paper: The surface is smooth and shiny, suitable for printing high-saturation patterns, with strong visual effects, and suitable for color design.
Special paper (such as pearl paper, corrugated paper, cotton paper, etc.): unique texture, high-end feel, often used in high-end customized occasions.
Recycled paper: environmentally friendly and textured, suitable for brands or users who pay attention to sustainable concepts.

2. Design determines the "first impression"

Although the paper bag is small, it is the "face" of the gift. The high-quality Paper Gift Bag pays attention to the sense of unity, detail, and aesthetic orientation in design.
When choosing a design, you can pay attention to the following aspects:
Is the pattern original or has a visual hierarchy? Avoid common goods and template-style patterns, and choose creative or artistic designs. Is the color matching advanced? Morandi colors, cream style, metallic colors, etc. are common in high-end designs; avoid being too gaudy or contrasting.Is the decoration process in place? For example:
Hot stamping and silver stamping: add visual highlights
Local UV (local bright light): highlight the details of the pattern
Embossed relief: bring a three-dimensional sense of touch
Tip: Some brands will also use hollow design, screen printing or hand-painted style to enhance the sense of grade.

3. Hand rope is also a "plus point"

Many people ignore the handle part of the paper bag, but in fact, a rope can also show the taste.
Common types of hand ropes and their characteristics:
Cotton rope: soft and natural, more textured with kraft paper bags.
Ribbon: suitable for romantic occasions (such as weddings, festivals), especially suitable for white or pink paper bags.
Flat paper rope: environmentally friendly and design-oriented, especially for recyclable bags.
Nylon rope or braided rope: strong and durable, suitable for heavy gifts or business occasions.
Leather handle: commonly used in high-end brand custom models, very luxurious.
Suggestion: Choose a handle with a "knotted fixed" or metal buckle design, which is more stable and decorative.

4. The right size is more considerate

When choosing a gift bag, many people will ignore the size issue, resulting in the gift not being able to fit or being empty, which will seriously affect the overall appearance.
How to choose the right paper bag size?
First measure the gift size (length, width, height)
Choose a paper bag that is slightly larger by 10~15% according to the volume of the gift
Avoid buying by estimating the size based on "it looks similar"
Also pay attention to whether the bottom of the bag is thickened, whether there is lining or cardboard support, to prevent the bottom from collapsing or deforming.

5. Take into account both environmental protection and brand tone

With the improvement of environmental awareness, choosing paper bags made of environmentally friendly materials has become a new trend, especially for corporate users and brand owners, it is a part of image display.
Choose FSC or recycled certified paper to reflect corporate responsibility
Choose pure paper bags without plastic coating and metal material for easy recycling and decomposition
Use soybean ink or environmentally friendly ink for printing, which is safer and non-toxic
When companies promote their brands, paper bags can also carry elements such as LOGO, brand slogan, color recognition, etc., and are mobile advertising media.
Customization suggestions: Small batch customization of paper bags is becoming more and more popular. Many manufacturers provide 100~500 minimum order services, which are suitable for small brands or personal customization needs.
