Are Custom Paper Bags Really That Important?

Rummage! · 04-06-2010, 12:27 AM

Hey guys! just wanted to know what your thoughts are on this.

Do ya'll think that paper bags with custom designs help to spread the word about your brand names?

I'm thinking of getting some bags but i don't know if they actually have a noticeable effect in raising awareness.Like Does it actually work or does it just get thrown away when people go home.

What do you think?

yes they are. At least I feel so. As long as your bags are sturdy, people have a tendency to reuse it, be it at the office or at home. Of course, the design must be good. Even If they throw it away when they are home, there's always that journey from your place to their house. Helps raise your profile in your home area if nothing else. A events management company just passed me a CD the other day, and they had customised their paper cd case. Def makes me want to keep it.

Hey!

yeah i guess at the minimum it helps to improve the image of the brand. Hard part is that its super expensive to print bags here. plus many of the printing companies require like thousands of pieces for a minimum order. Any Idea how to get around this?

thousands of pieces? most likely they do it in china then. find the local printers. worse to worse, put decal up on it. Thats an insane idea, btw.

Just how many are you looking at? maybe i can help.

lol decals, probably take forever to stick each bag

haha well i just wanted like 200-300 at first custom to my design. Do you happen to know anyone who does that at such amounts? Would really appreciate a contact!
