I ordered these cards as a promotional tool, to hand out to people and tell them about how to get the book I have written. The cards are perfect! Love the rounded corners and the shiny finish. So easy to carry in my purse or pocket too. Really happy with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at this time. If you add white elements to your design, they'll appear as blank areas in the final product – so we recommend choosing other colours.

For your specific design, we recommend choosing the all-over print option.
If you have other designs in mind, here are our recommended printing areas:

  • Small Printing Area: Great for simple, minimalistic designs like the classic business name and logo combo.
  • Large Printing Area: Great for big designs with transparent backgrounds only, like business names and logos with additional design elements.

You can choose from a small or large print area. A small print area is great for sleek, minimalist logos and designs, while a large print area is great for bigger designs with transparent backgrounds.

Here are the dimensions for the small and large print areas:

Small Bag:
Small deco area: 17 x 4.5 cm
Large deco area: 17 x 18.5 cm
Medium Bag:
Small deco area: 20 x 10.5
Large deco area: 20 x 26 cm
Large Bag:
Small deco area: 24 x 12.5
Large deco area: 24 x 30 cm

Our custom paper bags come in six sizes:

  • Extra Small: 22.5 x 19 x 8 cm: holds up to 8 kg
  • Extra Small: 27.5 x 20.5 x 11 cm: holds up to 13 kg
  • Small: 30 x 22 x 10 cm, holds up to 9 kg
  • Medium: 34 x 26 x 14 cm: holds up to 10 kg
  • Medium: 35.5 x 24 x 12 cm: holds up to 13 kg
  • Large: 42 x 32 x 11 cm: holds up to 12 kg

Yes, they are recyclable and they are crafted from recycled materials too. Our white bags are 120 gsm thick, while our brown kraft bags are 110 gsm thick.

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).

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.

This depends on your order and the delivery speed that you choose.
