Before Producing a Shopping Bag: From Handle Types to Finishing Methods!
What’s the biggest difference between a box and a shopping bag? It’s whether or not it has a string that serves as a handle. Depending on which shopping bag handle type you choose, the impression the bag gives will change, and the internal finishing method will also be decided accordingly.
[Comparing Shopping Bag Handle Types: Braid, Twist, Satin Ribbon, Paper]
🪡Braid handle: A tightly woven, glossy poly handle that is generally the most commonly used basic type
🪡Twist handle: Similar to a braid handle, but with a twisted structure that gives it a more dimensional, rope-like shape
🪡Satin ribbon handle: A soft, glossy ribbon that offers an elegant and refined feel with excellent texture
🪡Paper handle: A handle made by twisting paper, offering the advantage of being recyclable
Shopping bag handle types (braid, twist, satin ribbon, paper)
We’ve introduced the most commonly used handle types and their features. In addition, there are various other options, such as plastic injection-molded handles, wide flat tape handles, or handle-cutout designs with no separate string at all. It’s best to choose the right option based on the design and intended use.
[Comparing Shopping Bag Finishes: Metal Tip Finish, Knot Finish + Eyelet]
Another key feature of a shopping bag is the internal finishing method. The most common options are a metal tip finish and a knot finish. When choosing the finish, an optional eyelet (metal ring) may also be used to reinforce the hole through which the handle passes so it won’t tear. If the hole area is not reinforced with an eyelet (metal ring), there is a risk of tearing when heavy products are placed inside, so we recommend choosing it for durability.
🔗Metal tip finish: Uses metal tip accessories for a premium and sturdy result, though it tends to be more expensive than a knot finish
🔗Knot finish: A method that ties the end of the handle inside and is generally more affordable than a metal tip finish
[Minimum Order Quantity for Shopping Bags: From 50 Units to Large-Scale Production]
Have you wanted to try custom shopping bag production at the minimum order quantity, but felt discouraged because production only seemed possible from 1,000 units? At Packative, everything from a minimum order quantity of 50 units to large-scale production is possible. For standard shopping bag types (Art Paper 200g, braid handle), you can compare quotes in real time based on quantity and options without waiting after submitting an inquiry.

If you visit the DDP Design Store, you can find a variety of goods that represent Seoul. A QR code is printed at the bottom of the shopping bag, which naturally promotes the brand simply by being carried around. When scanned, it allows users to check product information online as well, making the trendy design approach that breaks down the boundary between offline and online especially impressive.
Seoul’s shopping bag uses a satin ribbon handle to create an even more luxurious impression. In addition, the white eyelet (metal ring) and metal tip finish carefully enhance durability. By matching the external print color with the ribbon color, the design makes the ‘2025 Seoul Color’ feel clearer and more sophisticated.
We’ve introduced the handle types and finishing methods worth knowing when producing shopping bags, as well as the Seoul Metropolitan Government production case.
