The Design Ideas section of our website is a bag design marketplace where creative designers can upload their designs so customers seeking inspiration and fresh ideas can view and/or purchase them. Designers are paid a commission when their design sells.

The material choices for bags are:
All of these materials are recyclable and eco-friendly.
All of our materials and inks are eco-friendly—that’s one of the hallmarks of GBAG.
Finish options are:
All of our laminated bags are made with eco-friendly materials and ink. Laminated bags are much stronger than regular non-woven bags without lamination—an average-size laminated bag can hold up to 50+ lbs, while a non-laminated bag can hold around 30+ lbs.
Adding a laminated finish (whether gloss, matte or metallic) provides poster quality printing and makes the bag easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. Gloss lamination is especially easy to clean. Bags can be laminated on the outside and on the inside, for longer beauty, better wear and easy cleaning—this works especially well for grocery bags, since items in the bags may occasionally spill or leak.
The material choices for handles are:
Nylon webbing and cotton rope are the strongest handle options. Handles can be whatever length you specify.
The material choices for piping are:
Piping can be done in whatever accent color you choose, and it adds strength and durability to the bag because it reinforces the seams and corners.
Other available trim and add-ons include:
If there’s something you would like added to your bag that’s not listed here, please contact us – we’ll be happy to accommodate any request if we can.
