Goodie Bags

Standard printer paper might work in a pinch, but for a more durable and polished look, consider a heavier-weight paper like cardstock (around 80lb or higher). You can also use glossy brochure paper for a vibrant pop or matte photo paper for a more professional feel. If your goodie bags will be exposed to moisture, consider using waterproof paper or laminating them after printing.

Indeed, laminating your printable fronts is a smart move. Self-adhesive laminating meets, easily found at craft stores, can add a protective layer that boosts water resistance and sturdiness. This is particularly beneficial for goodie bags used outdoors or by younger children. Just remember to leave a small border around the edges to prevent the laminate from peeling off.

When it comes to attaching your printable fronts to the bags, you have a few options. Double-sided tape is a simple and effective choice that adheres well to most paper types, making it a breeze to use. For a more refined finish, glue dots can create a clean bond and prevent curling at the edges, giving you a professional result with minimal effort. If you're working with thicker cardstock fronts, a hot glue gun can be a speedy option, but take care to avoid burning the paper bag.

For best results, use a high-quality ink that is compatible with your chosen paper. If you're using cardstock or glossy paper, pigment-based ink will provide a crisper and fade-resistant print than dye-based ink, ensuring your designs stay vibrant. Consider using a laser printer for heavier cardstock, as inkjet ink might smudge, giving you peace of mind during the printing process.

If you require personalization, please order a custom design and provide your first name, a short message, or a photo. For example, you could add 'Happy Birthday, [Name]' or 'Thank you for coming, [Name]' to the front of the goodie bag. Alternatively, you could include a photo of the event or a logo. We will then create a custom version of our goodie bags for you.
