For the paper bag, choosing the right handle is very important. Because the strap is not only convenient for customers to transport and give presents, but it is also an accessory that makes the bag complete. Let’s discuss about the popular paper bag handles designs.
1. Kraft paper handles for friendly environmental use
Paper straps are one of the most popular types of straps when producing kraft paper bags. Besides this type of bag string is also popular because it is environmentally friendly and easily decomposable.
Paper straps have the following 2 designs:
- Flat paper handle: This type has a contact surface of about 2-5cm, convenient for carrying light items such as notebooks, books, recycled paper gifts…
- Twisted paper straps: In contrast, twisted paper straps have a smaller contact surface, with a structure made from twisted fibers forming a bag handle. However, this type of strap has higher strength and is more durable, suitable for storing products such as food, wine bottles, shoe boxes…
2. The ribbon strap for gift bags
Ribbon straps will be a suitable choice for bags that need to be soft and eye-catching. This type of bag handle is often combined with gift paper bags made of Ivory 250 GSM material to create uniform luxury.
Besides, the colors of the bag and straps are often similar to create a complete whole. In addition, the string is threaded directly through the edge of the bag with a lattice so it will withstand reasonable force and is suitable for storing gifts such as handbags, cosmetics, souvenirs…

3. Luxury bag with fabric and leather handle
The common characteristics of these two types of handles are high aesthetics and good strength. Therefore, fabric or leather straps will be suitable for high-end gift bags containing wine boxes, leather boxes, or wooden boxes.
However, these two types of straps have differences, such as:
- Fabric straps: Commonly used fabrics are silk, satin, or canvas. This gives the paper bag a soft appearance and helps customers feel comfortable when holding it. However, the disadvantage is that it has low waterproof ability and can be affected by environmental impacts.
- Leather handle: The handle is made from genuine or high-quality synthetic leather. Therefore, the characteristics of leather straps are high durability and good water resistance. On the contrary, the price of the handle will be high, and the colors will not be as diverse as the fabric straps.
