kraft paper bags factory
Resolve open specification choices on kraft paper bags factory quotes before two replies are treated as comparable. Die line, proof, structure sample and revision path decide whether a later piece price still belongs to the same object.
What still blocks a comparable quote
A printed SOS sample that passed last month does not cover a new width, a new kraft grade, or a new ink set.
Buyers often arrive with a drawing and two plant emails. One plant priced a digital print short run. The other priced flexographic printing with plate amortization. Those replies look like the same bag until color count, plate fees and sample rules are written on their own lines.
When artwork changes every few weeks, a digital setup can keep plate spend off the first carton. When one mark stays on press for months, flexographic printing usually holds spot color with a lower amortized unit. Neither path is cheaper in the abstract, and this desk does not turn that choice into a published discount.
Food-contact or recyclable language, when needed, travels with the paper and ink lot. Post-consumer recycled content is a paper-sheet statement. Forest Stewardship Council chain-of-custody is a mill file. Neither claim becomes a badge on this website. ISO ICS 55.020 remains unit vocabulary for packaging, not a certificate we hold.
Prepress and sample checks before you accept an alternative construction
Confirm front, gusset and bottom panels the die line was drawn for. A plant that offers a nearby size is offering a different object. Write whether logos wrap the gusset and whether the square bottom carries print.
State whether you need a plain structure sample, a printed proof, or both. A later printed sample can reopen plate or digital setup fees. This form has no upload field; die line files can be sent after we reply.
If a plant offers a satchel in place of an SOS, or bleached kraft in place of natural kraft, treat that as a new RFQ line. Accepting an alternative construction without restating size, basis weight and destination is how two replies stop being comparable.
