Structural elements
The custom creative closure design is a great idea of an effective tool for building brand recognition. Through a devoted creative support process and tailored production, we will help you to design and obtain your signature paper bag.
The basic, constant elements of this bag style are the rectangular bag body and the attached closing flap. The flap’s place is between the handles. Most often, each design idea includes a flap that has a custom outline. The flap materials vary in colour, texture and thickness.
Flap Materials
There are two types of creative closure flaps depending on the materials that we use. One is the paper-over-board flap, which is thicker and more prominent. The other type is the duplex flap which is more flexible and offers a great range of design opportunities.
The creative closure flap is applicable to paper bags in medium and large sizes. It’s glued on the back side of the paper bag and overlaps the front. Its shape and size correspond aesthetically to the bag’s size.
Bag Body Materials
The bag body is made from paper or paperboard. The material thickness is usually around 200 to 300 g/sq.m.
Paper-Over-Board Flap Materials
The core material of this flap style is a 1 mm greyboard. It’s covered on both sides with binding materials. Both visible sides of the flap can be different in colour and texture from the bag’s body material.
Duplex Flap Materials
The duplex flap uses 2 layers of thick paperboard. Both visible sides of the flap can be different in colour and texture from the bag’s body material.
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.
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.

Make it remarkable
Simply said, the creative closure flap keeps the bag from opening via magnets or velcro. But its more enhanced purpose is to make the bag exclusive and remarkable. With its variable shape, together with the optional handle styles and colour combinations, the creative closure flap makes the route to an iconic paper bag.
Paper colours & textures
The creative closure flap is an embellishment integrated with the bag body via a glueing seam. This allows for the material that is visible on the closed flap to be contrasting in colour or different in texture from the bag’s body. What’s more, the flap’s inner side has its own material that can differ from all the rest.
Above, some of the possible options are shown for inspiration.
Handle Style
The ribbon or rope colours are nearly unlimited, and their materials can be diverse. The handle length is customisable. The two types of handle attachments shown below are equally attractive and reliable.
Closure Style
The snapping function is performed optionally by a magnet or a velcro pair. The two pieces of the magnetic pair are hidden behind the paper. The velcro pair, on an opened bag, is visible on the bag’s body and the flap’s back.
Flap Shape
The creative closure flaps are custom-designed with precision and care and are lovingly hand-crafted to be a one-of-a-kind element of your exclusive paper bag. With duplex flaps, the shapes have no limit. With paper-over-board flaps, the shapes are variable, but the options are a matter of discussion for each specific project.
