Features
AVAILABLE MATERIALS
White kraft paper
Eco-friendly white kraft paper is the latest trend in luxury paper bag manufacturing. Available in a range of weights, from 140gsm to 250gsm, it is recommended for both colour printing and exclusive finishes such as metallic printing.
Brown eco-friendly kraft paper
Brown eco-friendly kraft paper is the ideal solution for highlighting the eco-friendly nature of luxury bags. Available in various weights, from 140gsm to 250 gsm, it can be used as a base for colour printing or the exclusive application of luxury finishes such as screen printing and silk screening.
Black kraft paper
Eco-friendly black kraft paper is the ideal solution for adding subtle luxury to paper bags. The paper already contains black ink from the manufacturing process, so both sides are dyed. It is available in various weights, from 140gsm up to 250 gsm. It is used for the exclusive application of luxury finishes such as metal printing, screen printing and top coat varnish.
Dark brown kraft paper
Eco-friendly dark brown kraft paper is the ideal solution for adding subtle luxury to paper bags. The paper already contains a dark brown colour from the manufacturing process, so both sides are dyed. It is available in various weights, from 140gsm up to 250 gsm. It is used for exclusive application of luxury finishes such as metal printing, screen printing and topcoat.
White coated artpaper
White coated artpaper is the most common material used in the manufacture of luxury paper bags. It is coated with a distinctive glossy finish on either one side only (one side coated) or on both sides (two side coated) and is available in various weights from 160gsm to 250 gsm. It is suitable for lamination and can be accompanied - in addition to colour printing - by all luxury finishes.
LUXURY HANDLES
Ribbon
The ribbons used by Multibags can be silk (satin), cotton, PP and grossgrain, with thicknesses ranging from 15mm to 35mm. Cotton ribbons can be custom colored to match the colors of the bag, while for other ribbon materials there are more than 150 color codes available.
Cords
The cords used by Multibags can be cotton or PP, and the cords range from 3mm to 7mm. All lanyards, regardless of their material of construction, are coloured to order.
HANDLE PLACEMENT
Knotted
The knotted attachment of the handles to the inner fold of the luxury paper bags is the most common way of attaching the handles to the paper bags.
Internal gluing
The internal gluing of the handles gives an extra sense of luxury to the paper bags manufactured by Multibags, as it allows for an unobstructed view of the faces of the bags without the interference of the handle holes. The internal gluing of the handles is suitable for silk, PP and grossgrain handles and blends perfectly with the gift die cut finish.
PRINTING
O/S printing
With offset printing of unrivalled quality, up to 7 colours (Pantone, CMYK and their combination) can be printed on the inside of the bags, with 100% coverage. Printing can also be continued on the inner bottom reinforcement board.
I/S printing
With offset printing of unrivalled quality, up to 7 colours (Pantone, CMYK and their combination) can be printed on the inside of the bags, with 100% coverage. Printing can also be continued on the inner bottom reinforcement board.
FINISHES
Lamination
Choose the lamination finish in order to give your bags a subtle gloss, either matte or glossy. Lamination can be applied to the exterior as well as the interior of the bag and apart from the glossy feel, it makes the structure of the paper bags more robust in use and more resistant to rain, moisture, dirt, etc.
Hot Stamps
Choose the finish of hot stamping in order to give an unsurpassed sense of luxury to your bags. The metallic hot stamps are available in 100 different colours, so you can choose the one that best matches your company's visual identity. The application of the metallic hot stamps on paper is flawless, with no gaps or rough edges. It is applied locally, i.e. in the areas you wish to highlight, can be applied to kraft and coated paper, and can be combined with additional luxury finishes such as embossing.
Embossing
During the application of embossing, parts of the paper are lifted, thanks to the use of special metal moulds. As a result, the raised parts of the bag create an extremely simple and discreet luxury feel with the light shading. The embossing can be applied either locally (e.g. only on the logo), but also completely on the surfaces of the bags, creating the feeling of texture on the paper. Embossing can also be combined with additional finishes, such as hot stamping, partial varnish, etc.
Spot UV varnish
Choose the finish of spot UV varnish in order to imprint a thin glossy film on selected areas of your bags. Spot UV is first applied as a fine powder on predetermined areas, which is then transformed into a thin glossy film by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Spot UV is transparent, has no bulk and can be combined with additional finishes such as embossing. The use of spot varnish is contraindicated on bags with glossy lamination.
Screen printing
Screen printing is a technique of printing a design on paper bags using a frame (tray) with a mesh stretched over it. Screen printing is applied to materials on which printing ink cannot be used (e.g. black kraft paper). Screen printing can have different colours and, because of the material used for its application, it gives a very subtle glossiness.
Gift ribbon
Opt for an internally glued gift ribbon, which allows for the sealing of luxury paper bags with a bow. The material and colour of the gift ribbon is fully customisable.
Gift die cut hole
Choose to place a hole in the top of the bags in order to insert individual gift ribbons and close your bags. The shape of the hole can be customised.
Eyelets
At Multibags we give you the possibility to further enhance the luxurious look of your paper bags by adding metal rings (eyelets) to the handle mounting holes. The eyelets can be applied to any type of handle, cord or ribbon.
Handle hooks
Multibags allows you to replace the sieves at the ends of the handles with plastic nozzles. The colours of the nozzles are customisable.
