Application to purchase brief

custom boutique kraft paper bags

Translate a project application into purchase requirements for custom boutique kraft paper bags. Intended fill, store pack-out and ship-to state change paper face, handle and document rows. This map is a destination sketch. It is not a warehouse pin and not a claim that converting happens in the United States.

Use cases that rewrite the RFQ

Boutique retail carry

Write width, gusset and height in millimetres, then name twisted-handle, flat-tape or die-cut construction. A bleached-face shopper that must take four-color flexographic printing is not interchangeable with an unprinted SOS grocery bag. Ask each factory to quote the same kraft grade, basis weight and handle patch before comparing piece prices.

A 220 mm by 100 mm by 280 mm twisted-handle tote is a common boutique brief. It is still not interchangeable with a square-bottom grocery SOS. Name whether the face is bleached kraft or white-coated kraft, and say if bags are packed flat so the factory does not assume a different carton count.

Gift and tissue pack-out

Tissue, ribbon and a second insert change carton cube even when the bag size stays the same. If the boutique ships gifts from a third-party warehouse, write that pack-out on the brief so freight is not compared against a store-door carton. Recycled-fiber notes, if requested, stay on a lot file rather than on a gift-card slogan.

Spot-color logos on a white face often need a drawdown. A CMYK proof does not automatically lock a brand green on bleached kraft. Keep plate or digital setup on a separate row from the bag converting price.

Food and bakery takeaway

Oil, grease and moisture change whether an uncoated white kraft face is enough. Migration testing files, if the buyer needs them, must name the paper and ink system for that lot. Post-consumer recycled content in the paper, if requested, is a fiber percentage on the supplier file, not a site-wide recycled badge.

Do not copy oxygen transmission rate or water vapor transmission rate language from a pouch laminate onto a paper bag RFQ. Those barrier numbers belong to film structures. A kraft bag brief should say fill, contact time and whether a food-contact statement is required.

Destination and documents

State or postal code, requested delivery date and whether the buyer or the factory books ocean or inland freight all change the total. Pallet pattern, carton count and handle orientation belong on the same sheet as piece price. Food-contact and ink statements travel with the lot; they do not transfer because a previous SKU used the same bag photo.

How often a field appears on a usable brief

These bars are qualitative check weights for buyers, not performance scores for this site and not savings claims.

Kraft grade + basis weight
Almost always required before a factory can price converting
Handle type and die line
Required whenever a boutique shopper or printed tote is written on the request
Destination and carton pack-out
Required before freight can sit next to piece price
Migration testing file
Only when the contents and buyer policy ask for it

Bleached face versus recycled kraft

A bleached or white-face sheet can hold tighter flexographic registration for boutique marks. Recycled kraft can change tear and shade. This site does not recommend one fiber path as universally better. The brief should say why a face is requested and which file the inbound team will review.

Digital print versus flexographic printing

High SKU counts and frequent artwork changes can reduce plate cost with digital print. Stable long runs often keep unit cost and spot color control better in flexographic printing. Ask each factory to quote the same color count and proof path so the plate row is visible. Continue on inquiry options or send the application brief.

Name the fill, the destination and the document list. Then open inquiry options or send the brief here.

Write format, material, size and print; quantity with unit (pieces, cartons or rolls); destination state or postal code and requested delivery / lead time; required product documents and sample needs. Optional target budget with currency and unit or whole-order basis; optional supplier preference. Artwork files can be sent after we reply; this form has no upload field.
