A custom kraft bags plant may offer a higher post-consumer recycled content share when virgin fibre is tight. Shade and tear can shift. Ask for a retained sample from the quoted paper lot.
custom kraft bags
Resolve open specification choices that still block a comparable custom kraft bags quote. Fibre mix, window film, handle stock and decoration process are construction decisions. They are not sustainability trophies and they are not site-wide circular-economy claims. PCR kraft, a single-fibre bag, and a paper-plastic window each need their own evidence file.
Choices that must be verified before accepting a substitute
A PE or PP window can show the fill but complicates recycling reporting. A windowless single-fibre bag can improve reporting. Keep the claim on the component that carries it, not on the kraft wall.
Twisted paper handles stay on a fibre path; ribbon or PP cord is a second material. Do not copy an FSC or GRS badge onto this page; those marks belong to a named supplier document if they exist.
Short SKU counts can reduce plate cost with digital print. Stable long runs often keep unit cost and spot color control better in flexographic printing or gravure printing. Write the process you will accept.
| Decision | Keep on the RFQ | Reject if missing |
|---|---|---|
| Paper GSM | g/m² and virgin or PCR share with a batch file if claimed | A photo with no stated GSM |
| Size and style | Width × gusset × height in mm and SOS, satchel or pinch-bottom | "Standard bag" without dimensions |
| Print process | Colors, process, die line status | Decoration folded into piece price with no process name |
| Order quantity | Pieces or cartons | A MOQ spoken without a unit |
Files to request, not files this site issues
-
Food-contact statement
Ask the plant for the statement that matches the paper, ink and intended fill. FDA 21 CFR language on a supplier letter is still that supplier's letter.
-
Migration testing summary
Needed when the fill is ingestible or the print sits against food. The method and simulant should be named. A marketing "food grade" phrase is not a substitute.
-
PCR or fibre declaration
Useful before a volume release. Post-consumer recycled content percentages should name the lot. A site-wide recycled badge is not issued here.
-
Logo die line
A die line for the print panel keeps print buyers on the same silhouette as the bag blank.
Decision sequence before the inquiry is comparable
-
Lock construction
GSM, bag style, handle and whether the blank is stock or a private die.
-
Lock decoration and pack-out
Print process, sample type, carton count and pallet pattern. Paper or plastic windows stay on this step.
-
Lock documents
Which supplier files are required before a volume release. Mono-material recyclability arguments apply to windows, liners and cartons more than to a printed logo; keep those claims on the component that carries them.
