Design Aspects Involved In Paper Bag Printing

By Al Christian Green

Keeping in sync with increased consciousness for preservation of environment, most companies nowadays use paper bags to sell their products at retail outlets. These bags are not only environment friendly but also lesser expensive than similar products for production and printing.

Paper bag printing is considered an art that has to be perfected, and a lot of printing services companies across the globe have excelled in this field. In the past, paper bags used to be plain brown bags without any design of any sort and were used in grocery stores. But their present day versions are both classy in design and sturdy, and they are suitable for reuse.

One has to focus on several design components of a paper bag before placing print orders. You have to take into account what purpose the paper bag will serve and then select an appropriate quality of paper that will be able to effectively fulfil that aim.

After choosing the right type of paper, the colour of the graphic that will be printed on the bag will have to be selected. Proper mixture and combination of colours to be used for the bag must be achieved so that the prospective users find the bag to be attractive and visually appealing, which will help in advertising the brand.

The third aspect in design of paper bag is to make the bag both elegant in looks and useful in functions. The type of the product that will be carried in the bag and the type of people who will be making use of it will decide what form, size, or other design elements the paper bag should have. For instance, if the bag is supposed to carry a box of shoes, then you can attach rope handles that are both appealing and cheap, and will help the customer in carrying the bag without any difficulty.

As the bags themselves are quite cheap, their designs must also be cheap, but you must ensure quality at the same time. Besides, the entire process of printing should in no way damage the ecology at any stage, so that the appeal of the bags can be preserved.

Lastly, the message that the bag will bear and convey must be given serious consideration. Most printing services companies understand its importance and so they will be able to offer valuable advice in this regard. But the firm logo must always be displayed with the message, and the message on its part should be in tune with the company's brand image.
