Design Your Own

Design Your Custom Kraft Food Bags

Pick a colour, put your name on it, and see how the idea reads before you ask anyone for a price. It is a sketch rather than a manufacturing proof — the real shape is cut from the product you already serve.

Finish

Show a repeating pattern

On unbleached board every colour prints warmer than it looks here. Two inks chosen for kraft beat four fighting the brown.

Carry this into the full designer

The full page adds the size, board, print and quantity, then sends the whole specification over in one go. Nothing is committed to at any point.

Strength for the Weight

Kraft paper is made from long fibres, which is why it tears less readily than a bleached paper of the same weight.

That matters for bags more than for sheets, because a bag concentrates load at the base and the handles rather than spreading it.

The same colour-shift applies as on how ink behaves on unbleached board.

Printing on Kraft Bags

One or two colours is the usual specification, and it suits the material.
Colours shift towards brown — pale tints in particular nearly disappear.
Black and dark inks print predictably and read cleanly.
White ink is an option and stands out well, at extra cost.

Designs made for kraft look better on it than designs adapted to it after the fact.

Custom Kraft Food Bags: Common Questions

Are kraft bags stronger than white ones?

For the same weight, generally yes, because kraft is made from longer fibres. That matters more on a bag than a sheet, since a bag concentrates load at the base and handles.

Will our brand colours print accurately on kraft?

They will shift warmer and darker. If a colour has to be exact, either print a white underbase first or use a white bag — those are the two honest options.

Are kraft bags stronger than white?

For the same weight, generally yes, because kraft uses longer fibres. That matters more on a bag than on a sheet.

Will our colours print accurately on kraft?

They shift warmer and darker. If a colour must be exact, that means a white underbase or a white bag.

How many colours should we print?

One or two suits the material and the price point. Designs made for kraft look better than designs adapted to it.

Can we use white ink?

Yes, and it stands out well against brown. It is an extra ink, so price it rather than assuming.

Are kraft bags an environmental choice?

They skip a bleaching stage, which is real. Any lining or lamination added for grease resistance changes the disposal picture.

Do these suit a bakery?

Very well, and kraft is the default across UK bakery counters for exactly the plain, unfussy look.

What sizes are common?

From single-item bags up to full order carriers. Tell us the largest item you put in one and we will size from it.

Will the bag tear at the seam?

Not on an appropriate weight. Seam failure usually means the bag is under-specified for the load.

Prefer to Talk It Through?

Sizing questions are usually quicker on the phone, especially if you have the product in front of you.
