Can you provide design tips for customising my kraft paper bags?

To make your paper bag design pop, we recommend keeping the following tips 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 – white and brown. - Single-colour designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes. - White ink is currently not available for printing, so avoid using white in your design.
