Printed Paper Bags with Rope Handles

Details

In the field of packaging, printed paper bags with handles have become a popular choice in many industries due to their unique design and practical functions. This type of paper bag not only considers environmental protection but also offers consumers a new experience through exquisite printing and a comfortable rope handle design. This article will explore in depth all aspects of paper bags with rope handles, including their functional characteristics, production process, and design elements.

I. Functional Characteristics of Printed Paper Bags with Rope Handles

(I) Convenient Carrying Method

The rope handle is one of the most significant features of this type of paper bag. Compared with the flat handle or no-handle design of traditional paper bags, the rope handle has better load-bearing capacity and comfort. The rope is made of various materials, including cotton rope, hemp rope, nylon rope, etc. These materials are soft and will not strangle the hand for a long time. Whether it is filling up with goods during shopping or carrying gifts in a gift bag, the rope handle can make users feel at ease and save labor, greatly improving the practicality of the paper bag.

(II) Environmental Protection and Sustainability

Against the backdrop of growing global environmental awareness, printed paper bags stand out for their environmentally friendly attributes. Paper bags are mainly made of paper, which is a renewable resource. Compared with non-degradable materials such as plastic bags, paper can be naturally decomposed after being discarded, reducing pollution to the environment. In addition, many printed paper bags with handles also use recyclable paper, which further promotes the development of the circular economy and meets consumers' demand for green packaging.

(III) Personalized printing and brand display

Printing technology is another highlight of paper bags with rope handles. Through advanced printing technologies such as offset printing, flexographic printing, and gravure printing, colorful and beautifully patterned designs can be presented on the surface of paper bags. Companies can print their own brand logos, slogans, product information, etc., on paper bags, making them mobile advertising carriers. Whether in shopping malls, exhibitions, or streets, exquisite printed paper bags can effectively enhance brand exposure and recognition and strengthen consumers' impression of the brand.

II. Production Process of Printed Paper Bags with Rope Handles

(I) Raw Material Selection

1. Paper selection

There are many types of paper for making custom paper bags with handles, including kraft paper, white cardboard, coated paper, etc. Kraft paper has high strength and toughness and is suitable for making shopping bags with large load-bearing capacity; white cardboard has a smooth surface and good texture and is often used in gift bag production; and coated paper has strong color expression, is suitable for printing exquisite patterns, and is often used in high-end product packaging. According to the purpose of the paper bag and customer needs, the reasonable selection of paper material is the key to ensuring the quality of the paper bag.

2. Rope selection

As mentioned above, the choice of rope material directly affects the user experience of the paper bag. In addition to the material, the thickness and length of the rope also need to be matched according to the size and load-bearing capacity of the paper bag. Generally speaking, larger-sized and heavier-load-bearing paper bags will use thicker and longer ropes to ensure good load-bearing performance and carrying comfort.

(II) Printing Process

1. Offset Printing

Offset printing is a widely used printing technology, which is characterized by high printing precision, good color reproduction, and the ability to present delicate patterns and texts. For complex patterns, photos, and other content on printed paper bags with rope handles, offset printing can meet the needs well. However, offset printing also has certain limitations, such as relatively high printing costs, and is not suitable for small-scale printing.

2. Flexographic Printing

Flexographic printing has the advantages of low printing costs and high efficiency and is especially suitable for printing on rougher paper, such as corrugated paper. In the production of printed paper bags with rope handles, flexographic printing is often used to print some simple line patterns and texts, such as specifications and environmental protection logos, on the side of the paper bag.

3. Gravure printing

Gravure printing has high printing quality, bright colors, and a thick ink layer, and the printed products have a strong three-dimensional sense and glossiness. For some high-end brands of printed paper bags with rope handles, gravure printing can highlight the quality and grade of the products, but its plate-making cost is high, and it is suitable for mass printing.

(III) Paper bag production process

Cutting and folding

According to the design size, the printed paper is cut and then folded according to specific creases. This process requires precise size control and good craftsmanship to ensure that the shape of the paper bag is regular and the edges and corners are neat.

Pasting and binding

The folded paper is pasted with glue or other adhesives to form the main structure of the paper bag. For the installation of rope handles, it is usually fixed by punching holes and threading ropes to ensure that the handles are firm and will not fall off easily.
