Paper Bags or Plastic Bags?

Plastics are one of the most widely and abundant substances in today's society. Worldwide the usage of low-density polyethylene bags create pollution on land and in the oceans, especially when they break down in macro and micro plastics. On all continents, governments try to establish solutions on how to fight plastic pollution form shopping bags by banning their use, implant fees for their usage and replace plastic bags with a more renewable material. Paper bags are a valid solution, especially when manufactured from recycled materials。

(1) What kinds of materials do paper bags have?

There are many kinds of paper bag materials to choose from, common materials are: coated paper, cardboard, double copper paper, book paper, kraft paper and so on. Among them, the paper bag made of coated paper has the best color durability, full and uniform color, and is not easy to fall off; The cost is also low, whether it is made by machine or hand, this category of paper bags are very popular.

There are many customers who need to show more information in paper bags, usually choose double copper paper as the material of paper bags, which has all the printing characteristics of coated paper, and can achieve double-sided printing; But the price is a little more expensive than coated paper.

A small number of customers with brand stores need to customize special lines or special effects of paper bags; The cost of this kind of paper bag is high, but it can bring very good brand effect!

(2) How to customize paper bags?

Dongguan Fashion Mei Printing Company to provide you with reference:

Custom hand-held paper bag, first need to confirm the paper material and thickness, generally including coated paper, white cardboard, gray cardboard, whiteboard, white kraft paper, brown paper, etc., the thickness according to the specification from about 100 grams to about 300; You can choose according to the weight of your own product, often the higher the gram weight, the stronger the weighing capacity.

Secondly, it is necessary to determine the specifications or the design draft (printing content), and the size of the customized paper bag can be roughly estimated; Determine the material of the rope: ribbon, nylon rope... And the length, what needs to be printed. Manufacturers are basically equipped with manuscript designers, according to customer requirements to produce paper bag manuscript

Third, to determine the style, such as whether to nail corns and so on. These contents are determined, the price can also be determined and can be ordered to produce

Fourth, determine the number of paper bags required, the amount of the number determines the cost of raw materials, affecting the subsequent unit price of paper bags, it is recommended that customers order the best quantity by 5000.

In addition to plant fibers in paper, different fillers need to be added according to different paper materials. The plastic bags commonly used are made of polyethylene using oil, which is already our scarce energy source. In contrast, the raw material for the production of paper bags is trees, which are a renewable resource. It is naturally labeled with a green label for its degradable and recyclable characteristics. This is the environmental concept of paper bags. We should have more trees and advocate the use of paper bags to contribute to our green earth.

Whether it is plastic bags, non-woven bags or paper bags, they have their own uses in daily life. In terms of material, plastic bags and non-woven bags are not perfect environmentally friendly alternatives. So, who will replace plastic bags in the future? In a series of data studies, it was found that these types of bags have more or less defects, some of which are easy to consume raw materials, and some still have substances that are difficult to degrade. For now, we can't make up our mind who is the best. However, with the continuous improvement of technology, we believe that we can find the best replacement. In the absence of the best solution, localities are sticking to what they consider to be a greener approach. For example, in some scenic spots, the use of paper bags has been promoted, although it has not seen any results, but it has left valuable suggestions for our future research. There are many environmentalists who promote paper bags as the ultimate alternative to shopping bags, but we all know that. The materials used to make paper bags are mostly based on logs, and the destruction rate of the forest is far greater than the use value of the product. Nowadays, only continuous improvement of technology can win a place for the long-term use of paper bags.
