There are a wide variety of paper materials used to make personalized printed paper bags. Main paper materials: white cardboard, coated paper, gray cardboard (white on one side, gray on one side), brown kraft paper, white kraft paper, black cardboard, special paper, etc.
1. White cardboard bag
White cardboard is a high-quality paper that is smooth, hard, wear-resistant and white. Perfect for CMKY offset or more PMS color printed surfaces. 210-300gsm cardboard paper is used to make paper bags. 230gsm paper is mostly used.

2. Coated paper bag
The surface of the coated paper is very flat and smooth, with high whiteness and good gloss. The printed graphics look very bright and colorful on coated paper. Its hardness is no less than that of white cardboard. We usually use 128-300gsm paper to make paper bags.
3. Kraft paper bag
Kraft paper is made of 100% pure wood pulp with high breakage resistance, good toughness and high strength. There are two main types of kraft paper, brown kraft paper and white kraft paper.
Because kraft paper is environmentally friendly and recyclable, it is widely used to make garment bags, luxury gift bags and retail shopping bags. White kraft paper is bleached, and more and more developing countries are choosing to replace white cardboard with high-grade paper bags made of white kraft paper. White craft paper bags do not require lamination. White cardboard can be printed in full color, while white kraft paper is less desirable. White craft paper bags are available with monochrome printed logo, hot stamped logo or small size CMYK printed graphics.
Brown kraft paper is also known as natural or uncolored kraft paper. Due to its brown color, full four-color or PMS color printing will not work well on this paper. A single black print is widely adopted, and a printed logo or image can highlight the brand well.

4. Gray cardboard (one side gray, one wide white)
Grey cardboard is a very economical paper material with a lower price than white cardboard. On the white side, CMYK or PMS colors can be offset printed. On the grey side, there is no need to do anything.
5. Black cardboard
Black cardboard is a special kind of paper that is also widely used to make paper bags. Because its color is black, color offset printing or UV printing is not feasible. Hot stamping logos are a great way to express a logo or graphic on a black cardboard paper bag.
6. All kinds of special paper
We have excellent paper suppliers that can provide specialty papers in a variety of colors and finishes. For the customer's special paper bag order, we will recommend the same kind of paper to the customer and send the paper sample before confirming the order. Printing and surface treatments vary according to the characteristics of the paper itself.
