In addition to choosing appropriate materials and printing techniques, choosing paper bag handles is an important step. Each type of bag, from popular to luxury, has a handle suitable for the purpose. Let’s learn about the types of paper bag handles through the following article.
1. Paper handles for shopping kraft bags
Paper straps are one of the most popular types of straps when producing kraft paper bags. Besides this type of bag string is also popular because it is environmentally friendly and easily decomposable.
Paper straps have the following 2 designs:
- Flat paper handle: This type has a contact surface of about 2-5cm, convenient for carrying light items such as notebooks, books, recycled paper gifts…
- Twisted paper straps: In contrast, twisted paper straps have a smaller contact surface, with a structure made from twisted fibers forming a bag handle. However, this type of strap has higher strength and is more durable, suitable for storing products such as food, wine bottles, shoe boxes…
2. The ribbon strap creates comprehensive bags
Ribbon straps will be a suitable choice for bags that need to be soft and eye-catching. This type of bag handle is often combined with gift paper bags made of Ivory 250 GSM material to create uniform luxury.
Besides, the colors of the bag and straps are often similar to create a complete whole. In addition, the string is threaded directly through the edge of the bag with a lattice so it will withstand good force and is suitable for storing gifts such as handbags, cosmetics, souvenirs…
3. Fabric and leather for luxury paper bag
The common characteristics of these two types of handles are high aesthetics and good strength. Therefore, fabric or leather straps will be suitable for high-end gift bags containing wine boxes, leather boxes, or wooden boxes.
However, these two types of straps have differences, such as:
- Fabric straps: Commonly used fabrics are silk, satin, or canvas. This gives the paper bag a soft appearance and helps customers feel comfortable when holding it. However, the disadvantage is that it has low waterproof ability and can be affected by environmental impacts.
- Leather handle: The handle is made from genuine or high-quality synthetic leather. Therefore, the characteristics of leather straps are high durability and good water resistance. On the contrary, the price of the handle will be high, and the colors will not be as diverse as the fabric straps.
4. Waterproof PP strap for multi-purpose
PP stands for Polypropylene, a material used in the production of handles. The advantage is good heat resistance and water resistance. Besides, PP straps have diverse colors shapeability, and light weight, helping users feel comfortable when using.
5. Paper bag handle combinations
In addition to the popular bag handle styles above, combining different types of handles is a new design trend that makes paper bags more unique and impressive. This combination is often seen in high-end gift paper bags containing cosmetics, jewelry, or fashion.
