| SOS Paper bags can be supplied in either brown or white paper and with a twisted or tape paper handle. The bag shown here is manufactured from a partially recycled brown paper, printed with 3 colours on all sides and finished with a brown twisted paper handle. Ribbed brown papers are also available but larger minimums usually apply. These bags are ideal for conveying a green eco friendly business profile.
SOS (self opening sack) paper bags can be used in all areas of retail and promotion, although as with many paper products it is best to avoid getting them damp or wet as this reduces the papers strength.

| SOS paper carrier bags (Self - opening - sacks) are printed and folded inline via one production machine. The printing can be up to full colour, with specific pantone colours. Once printed, the bags are folded via the forming section of the machine. The handles are added at a later time. The carrier bags are ideal for supplying and efficient cost effective yet quality paper bag to your customers. The side and base gusset allows for a substantial volume of goods in comparison to flat bags and retains shape giving your branding extra clear exposure.
The sample paper bag shown here is printed in 2 colours and fitted with a white twisted paper handle.

| Twisted SOS paper bags are a fully automatic machine made paper bag. As you can see from the image here, they can be printed to a very high quality finish, providing almost photographic quality. The handles are manufactured from a twisted white (or coloured) kraft paper, which is mounted onto the internal sides of the carrier bag via a glued paper patch. This ensures a strong durable handle that can be used many times. The paper itself is usually a high quality white kraft paper manufactured from a combination of virgin paper and recycled paper. Better quality papers are usually produced using virgin materials although todays environment is resulting in more quality papers to be produced from recycled materials. The finish can be left as a natural matt paper finish or sealed with a gloss varnish as here. This helps seal in the ink and projects a higher quality finish to the paper bag. Depedning on size, these bags can be printed up to 8 colours (including the process print), and so are perfect for a full photograph and pantone specific corporate logo. Due to the carrier bag being produced entirely of paper they are completely degradeable and can be considered an eco bag.
These bags can be manufactured from either white or brown kraft papers, although it is not advised to print full colour on to a brown kraft as the final colour will be affected. The bag sizes are usually determined by machine settings and as such our quotations will depend on what is available. This can either be what runs are due to be produced in the coming weeks, or what machine settings can be achieved.
