Face remains in scope
If the original brief named bleached kraft at a stated gsm, an alternative that switches to unbleached brown kraft is a different SKU. Confirm the face is still on the construction sheet before you accept a lower piece price.
Specification review
kraft paper bags manufacturers
Close the open kraft paper bags manufacturers choices that still block a comparable quote. This page lists documents and construction checks, not before-and-after savings claims. White Kraft Paper Bags Sourcing has no same-spec price comparison table to publish. A manufacturer reply is useful only when paper grade, handle and quantity unit are already written.
Documents, not claims
Select the open choice. The note lists files a factory must still write. A brochure line is not a file. No percentage saving is computed.
| Field | Unit or file | Why it blocks a quote |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft grade | Bleached, white-face or recycled + gsm or lb | A "nice white bag" brochure line is not a grade two plants can match. |
| Handle type | Twisted, flat tape or die-cut | A tote that hides the handle lets factories swap converting lines. |
| Size and gusset | mm width, gusset and height | A photo size is not a converting dimension. |
| Die line | Locked production file | A marketing PDF cannot be plated or digitally nested as-is. |
| Migration testing | File for that paper and ink | A file written for another stack does not cover the substitute. |
| Post-consumer recycled content | % only with a named file | A PCR claim without a batch document is advertising, not a quote field. |
What to verify before accepting an alternative construction
Print process change
Moving from digital print to flexographic printing changes plate cost and usually the quantity break. Ask both plants to quote the same color count and the same artwork revision. Spot-color control is not implied by a CMYK proof.
Food-contact file follows the stack
Migration testing attaches to the quoted paper and ink. A file written for another stack does not cover the alternative. Request the file for the construction you will actually buy.
If kraft grade, handle or rewind of printed bags is still open, write that. Factories can quote options only when you say so. Continue from inquiry options or the form.
Send specifications to compare factory quotes
Name the still-open kraft grade, handle and destination rather than inventing a substitute. A percentage saving is not published without the same construction evidence.
