Special Paper Bag
Speciality stocks are bought for how they feel, not how they print. A textured, pearlescent or embossed paper gives a bag presence before anyone looks at the artwork, which is why it is the usual choice for jewellery, premium beauty and high-value fashion.
Why Buyers Specify This
- Textured, pearlescent and embossed stocks you can feel
- Foil and blind emboss finishing that suits the material
- Ribbon handles and magnetic or folded closures
- A carrier that matches the price of what goes in it
Who It Is For

- Premium beauty and fragrance counters
- High-value fashion boutiques
- Gift buyers where the bag is part of the present
Problems It Solves

- Flat printed bags that give a premium purchase no ceremony
- Finishes that look good on screen but flat in the hand
- Bags that cannot be kept and reused by the customer

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With Coated paper bag
Coated is the better surface for photographic artwork. Speciality stock wins when the bag must feel expensive.
Compared With Rigid gift box
A box protects better and stages the opening. A speciality bag is carried in public and seen by more people.
How To Order This Well
- Ask for physical stock samples before choosing, this is a tactile decision
- Keep artwork simple so the texture is not fought by the print
- Match the ribbon to the stock rather than to the logo
- Load the sample with the actual product before approving
Special Paper Bag Questions
Can we see the paper before deciding?
Yes, and you should. Speciality stock is a decision you make in the hand, not on a screen.
Will foil work on a textured stock?
Usually yes, but the texture affects the result. We will show it on the sample before the run.
Can the bag hold a heavy item?
Tell us the weight and we will specify the base and side reinforcement.
Can ribbon colour be matched exactly?
Send the reference and we will match it on the sample.
Ordered Together With This
Coated Paper Bag
A coated stock is what you choose when the artwork is doing the work.

Kraft Paper Bag
Kraft is strong because of how the fibre is processed rather than because of a coating, which is why a kraft bag carries more weight per gram than a coated one.

Rigid Paper Box
A rigid box is built from greyboard wrapped in a printed outer sheet, so it holds its shape under weight and gives the deliberate resistance when a lid is lifted that customers read as expensive.
