There are many variations of paper bags out there, meaning it can often be rather tricky to choose the right one for your business.

A much-asked question is based on the types of handles a bag has. Do they matter? How do I choose the right one? Which one do people prefer?

Lucky for you, the answers are right here.

So, what actually is the difference?

They look different

This one is obvious. Clearly, the main difference between the two is how they make the bag look. But what does this really mean?

A folded handle gives a clean and laid-back look to your bag. I would suggest using folded handle bags for business industry’s such as clothing, food and for stores such as bookstores and pharmacies.

Twisted handle bags are more sophisticated in style and when used can correctly give your brand a look or professionality and high-end quality. Examples of usage of this would be for jewellery stores, gift stores and delicate home decorations.

Size and Colour

Another less obvious difference is that the different types of handles each have their own options when it comes to their customisability.

Twisted handles are difficult to customise and generally come in two colours: Brown and white. They are also harder to customise in terms of the positioning and size due to the structural needs of the twisted handles.

Folded handle bags can be customised more easily and can be offered in different colours. You also get a choice of whether they are internally attached or internally attached.

Hopefully, this information will help you in choosing which kind of handle Is best for your business. There are many sites that can give you quotes for your own design of bags and even help you choose the right style bag for your needs.
