The direct answer
Studio FYUL makes customised paper bags with choices in size, paper, handle, print and finishing. Start with the contents and packed weight, then build the visual around a construction that fits. This page helps you compare the options before discussing a production order.
Choose your format
For retail counters, fashion, jewellery and beauty brands. Plan a useful size range, a clear logo position and handles that suit the packed weight. A consistent specification helps keep the customer handover familiar across repeat orders.
A natural paper look for brands that prefer simpler presentation. Discuss print contrast, paper shade, handle and the contents before choosing the construction. A kraft appearance does not by itself establish recycled content or a particular environmental certification.
A more considered combination of proportion, paper, handle and finish. Useful for premium product boxes and gifting. The bag should complement the item inside without adding unnecessary height, excessive material or an awkward carrying experience.
For gift boxes, launches, festive sets and corporate events. Include the complete contents in the brief, from the main box to tissue and cards. If the event has a fixed date, discuss it before finalising artwork.
A bag made around the finished bakery box can make the handover easier. Gusset depth and base support are especially important when the box needs to remain level. Share the full packed weight and the way customers will carry it.
Match bags with boxes, sleeves, labels and tags using related colours and typography. Finalise the primary box dimensions first. Different paper surfaces can reproduce colour differently, so review the set together rather than approving each item in isolation.

Practical comparison
| Requirement | Start with | Check before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Garments and soft products | A usable retail size and comfortable handle | Folded product fit, logo position and likely contents |
| Rigid gift boxes | Box footprint, gusset depth and packed weight | Base and handle reinforcement, clearance and balance |
| Jewellery or small premium packs | A proportionate bag around the inner box | Excess empty space, tissue and handle drop |
| Bakery takeaway boxes | A level box fit and sufficient base width | Packed weight, box movement and moisture exposure |
| Events and festive gifting | The complete kit and quantity per version | Artwork, packing sequence and required arrival date |
Size and fit
Give the usable width × gusset × height of the bag, or share the finished product dimensions so the size can be discussed. The gusset is the side depth that opens when the bag is filled. It needs to accommodate the box footprint rather than only its narrowest edge.
Place every intended item into the packing arrangement: box, tissue, card, pouch or additional product. Check whether the customer can remove the contents without forcing the corners against the paper. A bag that is too large can look untidy and use unnecessary material; one that is too tight can slow packing and mark the product.
The handle drop is separate from the bag height. Discuss how the customer will carry the bag and whether the top should remain open or sit closer around the contents. For heavier products, evaluate the handle attachment, top turn-in and base together.
A closer look
Your design may call for a quiet natural paper, a clean white surface or a stronger printed colour. Each direction affects ink appearance, folding and finish. Select the paper around both the visual and the way the bag will be used.
Avoid choosing paper only by GSM. The finished bag combines paper properties, construction, reinforcement and handle fixing. If you want an unlaminated direction, mention that early so the print and intended handling can be considered together.
For brand consistency, provide editable logo artwork and the colour reference you use. Keep fine text clear of folds and handle holes. A digital visual helps with placement, but it should not be treated as proof of physical fit or an exact printed colour.
From enquiry to approval
Send dimensions, packed weight, quantities and a reference. Include the existing box when the bag needs to fit around it.
Review width, gusset, height, paper, handle and reinforcement. Explain the carrying conditions and budget priorities.
Confirm logo placement, print coverage and selected finishes. Identify all sizes and artwork versions before approval.
Discuss the approval route, MOQ, price, production schedule, packing and delivery. These depend on the final specification.

Before you order
Detailed answers to help you prepare a clear packaging brief.
Start with the item that will go inside: its finished dimensions, packed weight and how the customer will carry it. Then choose the bag width, gusset, height and handle. A garment needs a different construction from a glass jar or a rigid gift box. Paper and finishing come after these practical decisions. Share a sample or clear measurements with Studio FYUL so the bag can be planned around the actual product rather than a photograph alone.
The terms describe the use rather than a fixed technical construction. Shopping bags often need a practical size range and consistent branding for everyday retail. Gift bags may be made around one particular box, with a coordinated ribbon, tissue or tag. Both can be premium or simple. Decide whether the bag must fit several products or one gift set before choosing dimensions, because a beautiful bag that does not fit the contents creates packing problems.
Kraft bags can carry printed branding, but the brown or natural paper colour affects the result. A colour that appears bright on white paper may look quieter on kraft. Simple logos and high-contrast artwork often work well. If your design depends on a precise pale shade or photographic detail, discuss the paper and printing route first. Ask to review the proposed colour reference on the intended material before treating a screen preview as the final result.
Specify the usable width, side gusset and height, and say whether your measurements are internal or external. For a boxed product, measure the finished box including anything that projects beyond it. Include tissue, cards or extra items in the packing arrangement. Leave enough clearance to insert and remove the product comfortably. Handle length is a separate measurement: it changes the carrying experience but does not increase the usable space inside the bag.
There is no single best handle. Rope can suit structured shopping bags, ribbon can coordinate with a gifting design, and paper handles can support a simpler retail direction. Comfort, attachment, reinforcement and the packed weight matter as much as appearance. The handle drop should also work with the bag height. If the item is heavy or has sharp corners, discuss the complete construction and check a representative sample with the intended contents.
No. GSM measures paper mass per square metre; it does not describe the finished bag strength on its own. Paper properties, grain direction, folds, base construction, glue, reinforcement and handle fixing all affect performance. A large bag also places different demands on the material from a small one. Share the real product weight and size, then assess the complete sample. Avoid comparing two quotations only by the GSM number printed on them.
Logo placement and print coverage can be discussed for the front, back and side gussets. The artwork must allow for folds, joins, the top turn-in and handle holes. Keep important text away from areas where it will be creased or partly hidden. If the sides carry a message or pattern, check how it looks when the bag is both flat and filled. Final print feasibility depends on the selected construction and production process.
Choose according to the paper, artwork, handling conditions and desired finish. Lamination can change surface feel and scuff behaviour, while unlaminated papers retain more of their natural texture. Neither choice guarantees suitability for water, grease or every carrying condition. If reducing plastic components is a priority, discuss the finish together with the handle and other materials. Ask what can be supported for the finished bag rather than making an environmental claim from appearance alone.
Yes. Plan the bag around the finished cake box footprint, height and total packed weight. A wider gusset may be needed so the box stays level during carrying. Handle placement and the base also need attention. Matching colours can vary between different papers and printing methods, so approve the bag and box as a coordinated set. Carrying packaging does not replace the need for appropriate support inside the cake box.
Studio FYUL makes customised paper bags for jewellery, fashion and gifting requirements. The useful brief includes the box size, packed weight, store presentation and preferred handle. A restrained logo and well-chosen paper can create a premium result without using every finish. For jewellery packaging, check the fit of the inner box and any tissue or pouch. For fashion, consider whether the same bag must accommodate folded garments of different sizes.
Outer carrying bags for already packed bakery or food products can be discussed. Direct food contact is a separate requirement and should be raised explicitly before materials are selected. State whether there may be grease, moisture, heat or condensation, and describe any inner packaging. Studio FYUL will need to discuss the intended use before confirming an appropriate specification. A printed retail bag should not be assumed suitable for unpacked food simply because it is made from paper.
Yes, a coordinated size range can be discussed. Each size still needs its own dimensions, artwork placement and production assessment. Scaling the entire design proportionally may make the logo too large on one bag or too small on another. List the required quantity for every size and explain the products it must hold. Studio FYUL can then review the range together and discuss whether shared materials or finishes would make the order more practical.
The main variables include dimensions, paper, quantity, print coverage, handle, reinforcement, finishing and packing. Different sizes may require separate setup or artwork adjustments. Delivery also needs to be included in the discussion. There is no reliable fixed price without these details. If you have a target budget, share it along with your essential requirements so the team can distinguish necessary structural features from optional decorative choices.
Send product or box dimensions, packed weight, quantity per size, logo files, a print reference, handle preference, delivery postcode and required date. Mention whether the bag must match existing packaging. If you are unsure about the paper or handle, explain the intended use and share a reference image instead of guessing a technical specification. MOQ, production timing, final materials and price are confirmed after this discussion.
Repeat orders can be discussed using the approved size, artwork and material specification. Retain the final artwork version and an approved reference sample where possible. Tell the team about any changed address, logo, product size or delivery requirements before reordering. Paper availability, colour variation and production timing should be reconfirmed for the new order. A previous order is a useful starting point, but it does not automatically fix every commercial detail for the next one.
