We’ve come up with this guide to show you how to print on paper bags.

How to Print onto a Paper Bag:

First of all, you’ll need to prepare the design you want to be printed onto the paper bag.

If you don’t have an idea how to come up with a design, simply create a document (dimensions: 5×10 inch) using Photoshop or any other editing software of your choice and enter the text and image you’d want to appear on the paper.

When the design is ready, turn your paper bag with the flap side down and then tape it to the standard computer paper. The idea behind taping is to prevent jams and crooked prints.

Avoid using a strong tape since you’ll have to peel the bag from the paper after the printing process is over (light scotch tape or the painter’s tape will do).

Assuming your printer is ready, load it at this step and hit the print option.

Remove the paper when the printing is complete, peel off the tape. Now you’ve got a printed paper bag that you can put a gift in and send to your friends.

Last, take off the tape and reattach the handles (hot gluing them in place will work) to make the bag ready for use.

Conclusion

So, these are the two main methods you can use to print on paper bags.

As you can see, there’s nothing complicated when it comes to printing those appealing images and text on the paper bags you want to use to send gifts to your friends.

Plus, making your own papers is also cheap compared to buying ready-made or hiring someone to customize them for you.
