Where a paper bag lands
Three Türkiye-facing audiences make a paper bag the right retail move. İstanbul's Nişantaşı and Bağdat Caddesi retail brands run 500–5,000 unit programmes of a white-card or kraft paper bag with twisted handles as a customer-shopping bag. Bosphorus-front hotel chains run 100–500 unit programmes of a premium paper bag with ribbon handles for guest shopping and VIP purchases. Banks at Garanti BBVA, İş Bankası run 200–2,000 unit programmes of a kraft paper bag for document handover.
Three formats we run
Standard is a kraft paper bag (170 gsm, twisted paper handles, reinforced top edge, base board). Premium is a white-card paper bag (250 gsm, satin ribbon handles, reinforced top and base, full-bleed CMYK print, optional UV spot). Sustainability is a recycled-paper bag (FSC-certified, 100% post-consumer waste, kraft print). All bags feature a base board for structure and optional inside printing.
Branding a paper bag
Full-bleed CMYK print on the white-card bag is the move for retail launches — Pantone-matched, matt or gloss finish. Silkscreen (one to two Pantone colours) is the default on kraft. Foil stamping (gold, silver, copper) on the white-card bag adds the premium mark, +TRY 22/unit at 200+ runs. UV spot on the print adds the gloss/matt contrast, +TRY 28/unit. Embossing (no ink, just depth) on white-card is the discreet executive mark, +TRY 18/unit at 200+.
