Printed white paper bags

When the artwork has photography, pale colours or a precise brand palette, white stock is the one that prints it truthfully.

What it is

white paper bags, in practice

White kraft is the same construction as brown, bleached rather than natural. The difference is entirely in how ink behaves on it: no warm cast, so pastels stay pastel and a four colour image looks like the file you sent.

Smooth white is the sharper surface; ribbed white has a fine corrugation that adds texture at the cost of a little print detail. Coated board is a step further again, and is what we use when the whole panel is a photograph.

White shows marks more than brown, which is worth knowing for a bag that lives in a delivery van rather than a shop.

Questions

Before you order

+ Is white more expensive than brown kraft?
Usually slightly, because the stock is bleached. The difference is small next to the print and the handle.
+ Will a white bag stay clean?
It marks more readily than brown. A matt laminate protects it if the bag will be handled a lot.
+ Can I print edge to edge?
On machine made bags the print can run across the full panel, the gussets and the base.
