The development prospects of kraft paper bags

November 02, 2024


Kraft paper bags are based on all-wood pulp paper. The colors are divided into white kraft paper and yellow kraft paper. A layer of PP film can be applied on the paper to play a waterproof role. The strength of the bag can be made into one to six layers according to the customer's requirements. Printing and bag making are integrated. The opening and bottom sealing methods are divided into heat sealing, paper sealing and lake bottom sealing.


With the improvement of people's own literacy and cultural level, more and more people are more advocating green and environmentally friendly consumption concepts. While people are demanding continuous improvement in the workmanship and structure of paper bags, they are gradually paying attention to the performance of paper bags in terms of environmental protection and aesthetics. As a result, a paper bag made of new materials - kraft paper bags have become a popular item for people.


"Kraft paper bags" are bags made of composite materials. Because the materials used to make kraft paper bags are non-toxic, odorless and environmentally friendly, "kraft paper bags" have become internationally recognized environmentally friendly products while satisfying people's green consumption. In major shopping malls and supermarkets at home and abroad, "kraft paper bags" can be seen everywhere. They are like a little warrior, accompanying us in our daily lives and helping us share the burden of life.


Later, as the trend of opposing the use of plastic bags prevailed around the world, environmentalists turned their attention to the ancient kraft paper bags. McDonald's in China also began to gradually promote kraft paper bags to all stores to hold take-out food, replacing the use of plastic bags since 2006. This move has received positive responses from other businesses, and they have begun to use kraft paper composite bags to replace plastic shopping bags.


The traditional idea that people's shopping quantity can only be limited to the number of items that can be carried by both hands has been broken because the emergence of kraft paper composite bags has broken it, so that many consumers no longer worry about not being able to carry the things they buy and ruin their mood for shopping. If it is said that the birth of kraft paper composite bags has promoted the development of the entire retail industry, it may be a bit exaggerated, but at least it reveals a phenomenon to merchants, that is, before the shopping experience of customers becomes as easy, convenient and comfortable as possible, it is impossible to predict how much consumers will buy. It is precisely because of this that people later paid attention to the shopping experience of consumers, and at the same time promoted the development of shopping carts and shopping baskets in supermarkets.


In the more than half a century that followed, the development of kraft paper shopping bags was smooth sailing. The improvement of material quality has continuously enhanced its carrying capacity and made its appearance more and more beautiful. Manufacturers also printed various trademarks and exquisite patterns on paper bags and entered the stores on the commercial street. It was not until the mid-twentieth century that the emergence of plastic shopping bags became a major reform in the history of shopping bags. Plastic shopping bags, with their advantages of low price, strong quality, and lightness, have eclipsed the once infinitely beautiful kraft paper composite bags. Since then, plastic bags have become the first choice for people's lives, and cowhide belts have gradually "retired to the second line." Finally, kraft paper bags can only be used in the packaging paper of a relatively small number of books, clothing, and audio-visual products under the name of "environmental protection", "nature", and "nostalgia".
