PACKAGING FUNDAMENTALS

CENTRAL CLOSURE

Ribbon tie
the elegant touch

Undeniably, a ribbon bow is an element that brings an incomparable luxurious feel to the basic paper carrier bag. At the same time, the ribbon tie brings the front and the back of the bag together and reduces the opening on the top.

For the paper bag with ribbon ties we use grosgrain or satin ribbons.

This ribbon closure style includes two pieces of ribbon that are permanently attached to the opposite sides of the paper bag. Each piece is glued under the turnover top on the corresponding side.

Typically, each ribbon piece is 35-40 cm long. The ribbon width that we use is 10, 20 or 30 mm.

Applicable for: Rope handle bags, Ribbon handle bags

The threaded ribbon closure consists of a single, removable ribbon piece that goes through rounded slots on each side of the bag’s body. Before placing the paper bag with ribbon’s contents, you can find the ribbon packed inside the bag or separately in the cargo box.

Typically, each ribbon piece is 50-60 cm long. The ribbon width that we use is 10, 20 or 30 mm.

Applicable for: Rope handle bags, Ribbon handle bags

Flap closure
the exclusive style

The closure flap is applicable to paper bags in medium and large sizes. It’s glued on the back side of the paper bag and overlaps the front. Its shape and size correspond aesthetically to the bag’s size.

The snapping function is performed optionally by a hidden magnet or a velcro pair.

Hang tag
a premium detail

The hang tags are paperboard cards that may use the paper bag’s material and offcuts, or a thicker material for a premium look. They may have custom or regular shapes. In terms of personalisation, they can be printed or plain.

Tags can be mounted on nPack’s paper bag with ribbon tie or other bag styles.

The fixed tags are cardboard elements that have a punched hole or a slot large enough to fit a threaded rope or a ribbon.

This type of tag is suitable for fixing either on the handle or on the ribbon closure.

Applicable for: Rope or ribbon handle with knots, Central closure with ribbon tie

The swing tags use an additional loop string to hang on. The tags may have custom shapes and the strings come in different styles.

There are three possible swing tag attachment positions: on the handle, on the bag body or on the turnover top.
