Non Woven Bag As An Alternative To Normal Paper Bag

Feb 26 2010 Published by blogadmin under Announcement

Non woven bag is now a new trend in the market.  Sometime non woven bag also refer as eco bag, green bag, environmental friendly carrier bag or shopping bag. Most retailer or those who participle in exhibition are now prefer to order non woven bag instead of paper bag as their shopping bag or carrier bag to give away. The main reason is non woven bag is cheaper and very durable.

There are now a lot of non woven bag manufacturer and non woven bag supplier in the market. They are almost everywhere. This is good for a purchaser as they can easily compare pricing among many non woven bag supplier. However, one thing very important beside the price is the quality. Unlike paper bag, non woven bag is not made by automatic machine. Therefore it is saw one by one through very skilful and experience worker in order to reach a very good quality! So, if the non woven bag factory or non woven bag manufacturer do not have a skilful worker, then it is unlikely that that non woven bag manufacturer can produce a very good quality non woven bag. It is thus very important for a company’s purchaser to make sure this before he or she make any decision.

The sewing of the non woven bag must be straight (at least acceptable even though it cannot be perfect) and using quality string to saw. This is very crucial as it will affect the overall look of a non woven bag.

Secondly, the folding also very important. Normally lower grade non woven bag manufacturer will normally do not pay much attention to this and their non woven bag pricing are also generally cheaper in the market. Their worker will just simply fold it and then press and pack them into a paper box. Some even pack them into a jute bag which look very ugly in appearance. A good non woven bag manufacturer will make sure their skilful worker will adjust, press and pack them properly into a paper box.

Therefore if you need a good non woven bag to give away to your customer, please make sure you choose a right non woven bag supplier or direct non woven bag manufacturer in Singapore. But generally it is very hard to find one non woven bag manufacturer in Singapore as the cost of employment for general worker is very high in Singapore. Most of the non woven bag supplier import the non woven bag from Malaysia or China. Even some of them import it from Indonesia or Vietnam.

We here, Luxury Packaging will offer you premium quality non woven bag with very competitive pricing. Please give us a call any time and we will in your doorstep anytime! Hope to see you soon!

Type Of Paper Material Available On Kraft Paper Bag

Feb 22 2010 Published by blogadmin under Announcement

Generally for Kraft paper bag, the choice of paper bag’s material available are more limited. This is mainly due to the fact that if somebody asking for Kraft paper bag, they are normally looking for something which is cheaper and cost effective.

The paper material normally used are 80g, 100g, 120g or maximum 140g. The reason which people will not use something more than 140g is because the material will become more expensive and it will be then better to use normally matt or gloss lamination paper bag.

Of course as we all know, Kraft paper bag will look a bit brown in colour but if we compare very batch of the Kraft paper, the brown colour will look slightly different. Some will look more brown but others might look a bit lighter in colour. This is something which cannot be control by the Kraft paper bag manufacturer or the paper bag supplier. They are relying on the Kraft paper manufacturer and Kraft paper manufacture are relying on the raw material supplied during the time of production.

Actually it is not much to discussion regarding the type of paper material used to produce Kraft paper bag. It is fairly straight forward and please do not hesitate to contact Luxury Packaging for a great Kraft paper bag design if you need one. Happy Selling!

Kraft Paper Bag As Future Trend In Paper Bag Industries

Feb 10 2010 Published by blogadmin under Announcement

If you see from few years back, most retail industries especially clothing industries are using matt or gloss lamination paper bag because they look better as compare to the Kraft paper bag in those years. In those years, paper bag supplier can only produce Kraft paper bag with silk screen printing or hot stamping on it. Nobody will consider to do a 4 colours offset printing on it or even a simple flexo printing on it. This is mainly due to the fact that people regards kraft paper bag is the cheapest range in all the paper bag series, so it is fair that it shall only do some very cheap printing on it.

Silk screen printing on kraft paper bag does not look as nice as 4 colours printing on normal matt or gloss lamination paper bag. It is simply applying a single layer of colour per printing process and if you want to print 2 colours and more on you Kraft paper bag, you then need to do 2 process of printing. This will make the kraft paper bag to become not cost effective because by going through 2 times of printing process, the cost of printing will come closer to normal matt or gloss lamination paper bag.

However, now most kraft paper bag manufacturer is starting to do a flexo printing on kraft paper bags. Flexo and 4 colours offset printing is different. It is slightly cheaper and all paper bag manufactures will mix the colours while doing the printing. Meaning, we can printing colours with gradient effect. You can design your desire Kraft paper bag with different colours tone on it. You can also print a very nice photo or very sharp picture on it. If you see from far, you actually cannot really tell whether it is flexo or 4 colours offset printing.

Kraft paper bags are cheaper in pricing and due to costing and environmental issue where kraft paper bag do not have a layer of PP material, we predict that it will become the future trend in future. It is more environmental friend because it did not use the bleaching agent chemical to make it become white colour. This is already very obvious in western countries as they are more concern about environmental issue as compare to Asian people. The main reason may be due to the fact that they are now experiencing big climate chance in their respective countries. The 4 seasons climates  namely Spring, Summer, Spring and Winter they previously experiencing is no longer the same as now. Winter become a lot cooler as compare to before, Summer become hotter, both winter and summer are setting in at the wrong timing as well. That is why Kraft paper bag is far more famous now as compare to laminated paper bag.

Another obvious different between normal laminated paper bag and kraft paper bag is kraft paper bag manufacturer normally use paper twisted handle to make it’s handle. While as for laminated paper bag, becasue they generally percieved by general public as a more high class paper bag packaging, a luxury PP or cotton cord will be used. Cotton cord is still ok. However PP cord is not that friendly to our environment. It is not biodegradable.

Due to the reason above, we in Luxury Packaging strongly recommend our customer to change their normal laminated paper bag to kraft paper bag if it will not affect their branding. By doing so, some packaging costing can also be saved. It is really a win – win situation. We sincerely hope this article can help to create some effect on general business owner thinking as to the usage of their company paper bag. Looking forward to hear some comment from you!
