Why shouldn’t you choose a paper bag made of thick cardboard?

 

The lion’s share of a paper bag cost is made up of its paper price. The more the paper’s grammage, the more expensive the paper bag. However, this doesn’t imply that when choosing heavy paper we get better quality, just the opposite. A paper bag turns out to be rough; cardboard bag’s folds easily crack; the gluing of paper bag’s parts is less durable because of cardboard’s rigid structure. As a result, we get something clumsy and awkward.

 

That’s why our advice is even if you like some cardboard sample, see that its weight doesn’t exceed 250 g/m2. In this way you will save your money and will not be disappointed by your paper bag appearance.

Does a paper bag need eyelets?

 

We consider that eyelets are a pleasant, but not mandatory feature for a paper bag. Any bag attracts attention first of all by its design and decoration, and such details as eyelets can only highlight the finished appearance of a paper bag. We have seen a great number of bags without eyelets that looked ideally owing to wonderful design, but also have seen paper bags with a mishmash of designs including eyelets and expensive post-printing features, but lacking in the most important things: beauty and attractiveness.

 

Should one order a bag made of art paper?

 

It should be noted that there is a wide range of art paper types. Certainly not all of them can be used in paper bag manufacturing. However, in some cases clients, after receiving an attractive visiting card made of art paper, become taken with the idea to have a paper bag of the same material.

Nevertheless, having chosen the right art paper with the assistance of specialists, in the end you will be able to get a bag that will ideally emphasize the individuality and the style of your company. The choice is yours!

 

Which is the most optimal quantity for paper bags in terms of price?

 

In general, regardless of a manufacturer the cost of paper bag is made up of two components: expenditures that is made once for the whole quantity (forms, die cutters, press preparation for printing, etc.) and expenditure that grows with the quantity increase (paper, rope, paints, varnish and others). The more the quantity, the less the one-time expenditure’s influence, and consequently, the less the price.

 

To determine the optimal quantity for our company, i.e. the quantity for which the impact of one-time expenditure is not so critical, we calculated the prices for different quantities and concluded that the quantity increase from 500 items to 1000 items will decrease the prices up to 30-40%; the quantity increase from 1000 items to 1500 items will result in the price decrease up to 5-6%; and the growth from 1500 items to 2000 items will drop the prices for 4-5%; and so on. Thus, the most crucial drop in prices occurs for the quantity of 1000 items.
