Our Guide To Paper Bags
Brown paper bags are just brown paper bags, right? You should think again. There are many options to choose from, like padded paper bags and paper carrier bags, each with different uses. At springpack we have a wide range of high quality fully recyclable paper bags that you can consider using.
Here are a couple of questions you should ask yourself when purchasing a paper bag:
What are you putting in the paper bag?
You will need to determine what level of protection you need from the paper bag. This will depend on what you are putting into it.
When moving delicate things like glass bottles or ceramics, you should protect them well. For these types of items, our Jiffy Padded Bags offer a high level of protection. The tough outer paper manufactures them, and they have a lining made of 100% recycled paper fibre.
For detailed information on Jiffy Bags, please see our Jiffy Bag Size Guide!
Our Honeycomb Padded Paper Bags provide protection for less fragile items that still require some level of safeguarding. Think metal car parts, books, or DVDs.
Finally, our Kraft Paper Mailing Bags are perfectly suited for products that require a low level of protection. These paper bags don’t offer any padding, but they are tear-proof and water repellent. They are a great solution for sending fabric garments, nuts and bolts, or items already in a box.
Are you posting it?
When you are posting goods you want to reduce your postage costs as much as possible.
Therefore, small paper bags would be a good solution, as the smaller the item, the smaller the postage cost. A common mistake is to buy only one size, and send your items accordingly. It’s vital you use the right size bag for your item, as it will be more secure, and arrive safely. We could reduce postage costs too.
We make all our paper mailing bags from lightweight material to reduce postage costs. You can see our blog about Royal Mail parcel sizes for information on the sizes and weights of what you’re sending. Click here to view it.
What colour do you require?
Sometimes you may want to change your brown paper bags for something more colourful. If that is the case we stock a range of White Paper Bags. Moreover, you can print on our Kraft Paper Mailing Bags, allowing you to customize your paper bags to suit your brand.
