3 Ways to Customize Kraft Paper Shopping Bags

 

Kraft paper shopping bags are a staple for most small and large businesses. Switching to paper bags is good for the environment—and it’s good for your image, especially if your consumers are environmentally conscious.

 

But plain Kraft shopping bags aren’t branded, and any small business owner who knows branding knows that it’s an essential component in everything you do, and that includes the shopping bags you give to your customers.

 

So, here are 3 creative and affordable ways to customize Kraft paper shopping bags to ensure they speak to your brand.

 

1.      Seal Bags with Branded Stickers

Branded stickers are a simple and aesthetic option, and the bonus is that you can use stickers on anything—including paper shopping bags, boxes, poly mailers, and more.

 

The downside to using branded stickers is that they can be more expensive than purchasing branded bags, and you’ll need to hand stick every sticker.

 

However, one of the best features of using branded stickers is that you can actually seal the paper bag by folding the sticker along the top sides of the bag, which is an especially great trick if you offer food delivery services.

 

2.      Leave Your Mark with Ink and Old-Fashioned Rubber Stamps

Another option to create branded Kraft paper shopping bags is to stamp your unique design onto the bag. Yes, people still use rubber stamps—and you can, too.

 

The main disadvantages to this method are that you run the risk of smudging wet ink, and, like the stickers, you’ll need to set aside time to hand stamp every bag.

 

That makes these two options—stamps and stickers—feasible for very small businesses but not scalable.

 

3.      Purchase Custom Printed Kraft Paper Shopping Bags

The easiest and most affordable method of customizing Kraft paper shopping bags is to ask your supplier to print on a custom design. At UCanPack, we offer full-color CMYK printing on both sides of our Kraft paper shopping bags.
