A clothing brand needs a bag that does several jobs: carry a purchase out of the store, make a gift feel special, travel inside an online order and stand out on a trade show floor. This guide looks at one bag from our catalog that is built for that — the 35 × 10 × 25 cm apparel paper bag with rope handles — and at how to specify it for your own brand.
Key points
- A landscape 35 × 10 × 25 cm bag suits folded garments laid flat and small boxed accessories.
- Matte black paper with a metallic foil logo gives a premium look with a single print finish.
- Rope handles are comfortable to carry; twisted paper handles make the bag easier to recycle.
- Size, paper, colour, foil and handles are all made to order — approve a physical sample first.

What fits in a 35 × 10 × 25 cm bag
The bag is wider than it is tall, so garments go in folded and flat instead of being stuffed upright. The 10 cm gusset (the depth of the side folds) gives room for a few folded pieces or a small box. As a guide:
- Good fit: folded T-shirts, shirts, blouses and knitwear; scarves, belts and small leather goods; a boxed accessory such as jewellery or cosmetics.
- Too small: shoe boxes, coats and bulky knits. Choose a deeper gusset for those, such as our 30 × 20 × 30 cm oversized apparel bag.
The safest way to size a bag is to measure your largest folded item, add a little allowance on each side, and check it with a physical sample before mass production.
1. Checkout bag in a clothing boutique
At the counter, the bag is the last thing a customer touches in your store and the first thing people see on the street. Dark matte paper with one metallic foil logo is a common choice for fashion boutiques: the logo catches the light, the bag looks expensive without full-colour printing, and a dark surface hides the marks of everyday handling better than white.
Ask for the handles in the same colour as the paper, as in the photo, so the logo stays the focus.
2. Gifts, VIP events and product launches
For gift wrapping, launch events and client gifts, the same bag can be filled with tissue paper and closed with a branded sticker. Because it is landscape, a folded garment and a small gift box sit side by side.
If the occasion calls for something softer, the same structure can be made with satin ribbon handles — see our paper bags with ribbon handles.
3. Inside e-commerce orders
Online clothing brands often put a branded paper bag inside the shipping box. It turns unboxing into a store-like moment, and the customer keeps a reusable bag with your logo on it. Pair the bag with a corrugated mailer box for clothing sized to hold it.
4. Trade shows and pop-up stores
At fairs and pop-ups, a strong bag is mobile advertising: visitors carry your samples and catalogs through the hall, and a black bag with a bright foil logo is easy to spot in a crowd. Rope handles help here because bags are carried for hours.
How the look is made
- Hot foil stamping presses a metallic foil — rose gold as in the photos, or gold, silver and other colours — onto the paper. On dark paper it is often the only print the bag needs.
- Full-colour printing on our six-colour offset presses is used when the design includes photos, gradients or patterns, outside and inside the bag.
- Embossing or debossing can be added to the foil logo so it can be felt as well as seen.
- Handles: cord rope handles are soft and comfortable for heavier loads; twisted or flat paper handles keep the whole bag paper, so it is easier to recycle.

Frequently asked questions
Can the 35 × 10 × 25 cm bag be made in another size?
Yes. Every bag is made to order, so the width, depth and height can be changed to fit your products. The catalog size is a starting point.
Can I see a sample before ordering?
Yes. Free samples are available, and every order starts with a design mockup followed by a physical sample for your approval before mass production.
Is a black paper bag with rope handles recyclable?
The paper body can go into paper recycling, but cord handles should be removed first. If easy recycling is a priority, choose twisted or flat paper handles so the whole bag is paper.
Can you print a different colour than black?
Yes. The paper colour, print and foil colour are all chosen per order, and handles can be colour-matched to your print.
