Un-Laminated Paper Bags | Uncoated Luxury Bags AU

What it is

un-laminated bags, in practice

Without a laminate the board is what you touch. On a dyed or specialty paper that matters: the colour sits in the fibre rather than on top, and the bag feels like stationery rather than packaging.

It is the quieter option and it photographs beautifully, but it marks more easily and it does not like rain. For a boutique handing over a folded garment that is rarely a problem; for a bag carried across town in a Melbourne winter, laminate is the safer call.

Handles are where these are usually finished: grosgrain or satin ribbon, herringbone cotton, or rope pulled from a brand colour.

Questions

Before you order

+ Is an un-laminated bag strong?

Strength comes from the board weight and the handle, not the film. At 250gsm with a ribbon or cotton handle these carry as much as a laminated bag of the same size.

+ Can I have a coloured bag without printing a colour?

Yes. Dyed papers carry colour through the fibre, so the inside matches the outside and there is no solid ink to scuff.

+ Which finishes work best?

Foil blocking, embossing and debossing, eyelets and all-over emboss textures. They are most effective on an uncoated surface.
