Structural elements
The standard, rectangular bag body shape is widely popular. Of the various applicable handle styles, the ribbons are the best suited for a premium look.
Two ways to attach the handles are possible – by glueing or by knots. The two possible handle attachment styles are equally reliable.
Whether glued or knotted, the handles are always attached to the bag’s upper, reinforced part called the turnover top (TOT).
Bag body materials
The bag body is made from paper or paperboard. The material thickness is usually around 200 to 300 g/sq.m.
Reinforcement
To increase the bag’s strength and reliability, we add reinforcing layers. They are placed on the inside of the bag’s bottom and under the turnover top. The reinforcing layers are permanently glued to the body material.
All reinforcing bottom pieces have a thickness of at least 350 g/sq.m. The TOT reinforcement is ca. 700 g/sq.m. per side. This extra support adds to the bag’s high-quality standard.
Handles
The glued handles are attached to the bag body permanently. The ribbon ends are discreetly hidden under the turnover top and come out through delicate slots.
The knotted handles are not attached permanently. The ribbons end with knots that can be seen inside the bag. Although not permanent, the knots are securely tightened and hard to undo.

Ribbon Style
The ribbon width that we typically use is 20 or 30 mm and the length depends on the bag size and the clients’ specification.
There are many colours on stock and others are available after custom order.

Make it remarkable
The bag upgrades are packaging design elements for extra functionality, custom inner shape or new capacity. Each of them presents a great opportunity to create tailored packaging solutions.
Ribbon Closure
Ribbons are used as an elegant finishing touch to the paper bag. They have a double purpose – to decorate and to serve as closure. Ribbons are available in different widths and lengths, dozens of colours and various materials.
The central ribbon has two attachment styles, glued or threaded. Design tips
Swing Tags
The swing tags are additional cardboard elements that hang on a thin string. The tags may have custom shapes and the strings come in different styles.
There are three possible attachment positions: on the handle, on the bag body or on the turnover top. Design tips
Fixed Tags
The fixed tags are cardboard elements that have a punched hole or a slot large enough to fit a threaded rope or a ribbon.
This type of tag is suitable for fixing either on the handle or on the ribbon closure.Design tips

Bag Body Elements
These options add to the bag’s appeal and bring its functionality to a new level.
These elements have different customisable design features, such as the contrasting inlay colour and texture, the clear window outline or the separator’s style and attachment. Design tips
Extra Handles
In addition to the basic bag handle, die-cut handle slots may be present to form a combined handle design.
The extra handles add an alternative way of carrying the paper bag. The die-cut grip hole shape is customisable. Design tips
More upgrade options can be specially developed and produced for specific product and brand requirements.
