Paper handbags are one of the common packaging options in daily life, frequently used in retail, gift packaging, and promotional activities to enhance customer shopping experience, improve brand image, and facilitate brand promotion. Although conventional handbags are widely used in packaging, some designers may not fully understand their die-cutting structures. Below is an example of die-cut pattern for the regular handbag for baoxiaohe (Box type No. 200010) as a detailed breakdown of the various structural parameters of the handbag.
1.Conventional tote bag
The normal handbag knife pattern is as follows:
Generally, setting the length, width, and height parameters can automatically draw the dieline of a typical shopping bag.
2.Detailed Analysis of Regular Tote Bag
In addition to the three main parameters of length (L), width (W), and height (H), there are also some secondary parameters to control details:
F: The length of the top folded edge refers to the length of the inner folded part at the opening of the bag. This part serves to increase the bag's load-bearing capacity and durability, prevent users from being scratched by the paper at the opening, and to some extent enhance the aesthetics.
G:Adhesive, this is the bag forming and pasting position, the length is generally 20-30mm, appropriately as long as it is ensured that the paste is firm, never exceeding the width.
F1:Fold the edge, this part is a key to the shaping, the length is generally 3/4 of the width, ensuring the bottom is securely glued, can be adjusted according to the actual printing paper size, must be greater than half of the width, equal is not allowed, reserve the intersection for gluing, otherwise the ends cannot be glued together during shaping, the bag cannot be formed, of course must not exceed the width.
X:Lacing hole spacing, this parameter is half the length by default and can be adjusted accordingly based on the bag size and handle length.
Y:Distance from the edge to the rope hole is usually set at 20-25mm, avoiding key graphic and text content when adjusting to prevent impact on the appearance.
R:The radius of the rope hole is default at 2.5mm, cannot be less than 1.5mm, nor too large to prevent the rope from slipping out and affecting usage; a small detail is that the upper fold hole can be slightly larger than the lower one to offset size loss when folding the edge inward, making it easier to thread the rope without obstruction.
GT:The junction of putty, with an inclination at a certain angle between the upper and lower ends, can prevent deviation during forming, thus avoiding the impact of putty on the forming effect of the upper and lower folds.
3.The non-modifiable part of the regular tote bag.
Some non-changeable settings of the carrying bag are also vital in its structure.
Fold line: This line is mainly used for folding and flattening the handbag. The fold line is located at half the width distance from the lower fold edge.
Half-fold angle: This angle is fixed at 45°, and because of this angle, the width of a conventional tote bag cannot be equal to the length. When the width is equal to the length, the bottom structure will exhibit intersecting fold lines at the bottom.
When the bottom zigzag lines cross, it cannot be folded properly. For bags with equal length and width, choosing a regular tote bag is not sufficient. Baoxiahe also offers other types of bags for use. Among them, the flat-mouth tote bag (box type number 220013) is a more suitable choice. The shaped flat-mouth tote bag is not much different in appearance from a regular tote bag.
