Design Features That You Should Consider In Paper Bag Printing

By Al Christian Green

With the growing ecological awareness, firms are increasingly opting for paper bags when they sell their products at their retail outlets. These bags are not only eco friendly but also cheaper than other products for manufacturing and printing.

Paper bag printing is an art by itself, and several printing services companies across the globe have acquired proficiency in it and are now exceeding customers' expectations. Previously, paper bags used to be simple brown bags without any design of any sort and were used in grocery shops. But their modern versions are both elegant in form and durable, and they are meant to be reused.

There are many fundamental design aspects that need to be considered when going for paper bag printing. You have to first consider the objective the bag will serve and then choose the quality of paper which will be able to serve that purpose.

After choosing the correct type of paper, the colour of the graphic that will be displayed on the bag will have to be selected. You have to get the right colour mix for the paper bag so that it appeals to the customers and helps in effective brand promotion. If the colours are not pleasant to the eye then the customers could react unfavourably.

The third critical component of design is to ensure both the attractiveness and usefulness of the bag. Every design aspect of a paper bag, from size to shape, must depend on two vital factors - the kind of people who will be using the bag and type of products that will be put in it. If the buyer is going to carry a pair of shoes in the bag, the company can have the bag designed with appealing rope handles that are both inexpensive and are easy for the customer to carry the shoes.

As paper bags are very inexpensive, the design on the bag should not cost you a huge amount either, but it should be classy at the same time. Besides, the whole process of printing must in no way harm the environment at any step, so that the appeal of the bags can be retained.

Lastly, the message that the bag will bear and communicate must be given serious thought. Most printing services companies realize its importance and so they will be able to offer valuable advice in this regard. But the company logo must always be present with the message, and the message itself must be in tune with the company's brand image. - 16890
