Professional Printing Solutions for High-Quality Cord-Handled Bags at Lower Costs
Smart Printing Choices for Cost-Efficiency
- Batch Orders to Leverage Volume Discounts: Printing in higher quantities typically reduces the price per bag due to economies of scale. If you anticipate future needs, ordering in bulk can offer substantial savings.
- Opt for One or Two-Color Printing: Limiting your design to one or two colors significantly reduces printing costs. With thoughtful design and strong branding elements, even simple color schemes can achieve a premium look.
- Avoid Unnecessary Finishing Options: While extras like foil stamping or embossing may look appealing, they add cost and production time. Focus on clean, well-placed logos.
- Avoid Heavy Ink Coverage on Kraft Paper: Kraft paper absorbs ink differently than coated stock. To maintain clarity and color, use lighter designs with moderate ink coverage. If your design requires strong, saturated colors, consider using a specialty coated paper like the one offered in our Cord-Handled Bag Classic series, which is ideal for high-impact color printing.


Product Optimization Tips for Cord-Handled Bags
- Match Handle Color With Brand Palette: Coordinating the cord handle color with your logo or brand colors creates a cohesive look. It’s a low-cost upgrade that enhances perceived quality and brand recognition.
- Choose Bag Sizes Based on Actual Product Dimensions: Avoid over- or under-sizing your bags. Choosing the right fit ensures structural integrity and avoids wasting money on material that isn’t needed.
- Use Bags as Functional Marketing Tools: With your logo and slogan clearly printed, these bags become walking advertisements. They’re ideal for trade shows, pop-up shops, or retail stores looking to reinforce their brand presence.
- Reuse Designs Across Product Lines: To save on design and plate setup costs, consider using a universal design that works across product sizes or events, this approach allows you to print in bulk and stay flexible while maintaining consistency with other materials like custom rack cards.
- Choose the Right Paper Type: Brown and white kraft paper each offer their own aesthetic and print behavior. White kraft gives better color accuracy, while brown kraft provides a natural tone and hides small imperfections well.
