Board & material options
All materials
Coated art paper
Smooth, bright paper that reproduces colour and fine detail accurately.
Available in gloss, satin and matt; pairs well with lamination.
Barrier film laminate
PET and PE layers that keep moisture and air out of stand-up pouches.
Metallised or clear; ask for the structure that suits your product shelf life.
Kraft paper
Strong, natural-toned paper with a visible fibre, brown or white-bleached.
Ink looks softer on brown kraft, so we proof colours on the actual sheet.
Finishing options
All finishes
Hot foil stamping
Metallic or coloured foil pressed onto the surface with heat.
Best on logos and fine lines; available in gold, silver and colours.
Matte lamination
A thin non-reflective film that protects the print and gives a calm, even surface.
Deepens dark colours; can show scuffs on very dark designs.
Emboss and deboss
A die raises or sinks part of the surface to add relief you can feel.
Combine with foil for a premium finish; needs a tooling die.

What drives the cost
We do not publish a price list, because no two specifications are alike. The levers that decide a quote are consistent, though, and knowing them lets you judge a budget before you ask.
- Quantity
- Set-up cost is spread over more units as the run grows.
- Size
- Larger formats use more material and may need larger presses.
- Material
- Board grade, paper weight and film structure change the unit price.
- Print & finish
- Colours, coverage and finishes such as foil add process steps.
- Structure
- Inserts, windows and hand assembly add labour and tooling.
When you ask for a quote, ask for two or three quantities on it. The unit price usually falls faster than people expect.
Design & artwork
No print-ready files? We can draw them
From an artwork check, through a dimensioned dieline and print-ready files, to a full concept package across a range — done by the factory that will make it, so the file is drawn to our presses and proven on a physical sample.

Frequently asked questions
Are the bags recyclable?
Plain paper bags with paper handles are widely recyclable; lamination or plastic handles change that, so we flag it in the quote.
