Good bags but quality control needs improvement

28 Aug 2025 | Nicholas R. | Verified Buyer
The bags look great and are a good size, but I’ve had some issues with the bottom of the bag. There was excess glue sticking to the wrong parts, which caused tears when opening them for customers. It would be much better with improved quality control to avoid these problems.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear about the glue issue on the bags and how it affected their usability. To better assist you, could you please provide us with a clear photo of the problem? This will help us share accurate details with our production team and find the best resolution for you. If your request is urgent and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via https://www.vistaprint.com.au/customer-care/help-center/

Yes, they are recyclable and they are crafted from recycled materials too.

We recommend you use a logo, image or design that’s 300 DPI in resolution to get the best quality print.

The heights listed in the options section are the measurements of the bag compartment, without handles. The handle height is 9 cm (for all bag sizes).

Our white bags are 120 gsm thick, while our brown kraft bags are 110 gsm thick.

To make your design pop, we recommend you keep the following bits of advice in mind:

  • Keep your design simple – too many elements can be overwhelming.
  • Make your logo big and bold for instant recognition.
  • Avoid printing light colours on brown kraft, as it won't stand out as much.
  • Darker colours look sharper on both paper options.
  • Single-colour designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes.

You can choose from a small or large printing area, or you can opt for our all-over print option, which covers every side of the bag. Here are the dimensions for the small and large printing areas:
Small Bag:
Small deco area: 17 x 4.5 cm
