how i made paper bags 🛍️
business milestone! i’ve always wanted to make paper bags but the minimum order was so sky high >:( however since boothing so regularly in 2024, i decided that now is the best time to make them
idea: I wanted something bright, square shape, and fit big lifestyle products like bottle, apparels and ceramics! I initially wanted to go with the factory that makes my angbao paper since the print was really nice but the sales person changed and was rushing me a lot :| so i looked for someone else which turned out to be a good call since she gave a template to put my design on which helps me visualise the bag better.
draft 1: I wanted to feature all 3 characters in a convenience store
draft 2: I thought that it might be cute if the characters are so big!
final design: merging my 2024 calendar design with all my characters, I made this 2 colour bag. I thought that it will look cute and people can carry the bag depending on which colour they like?
timeline: surprisingly (???) this is one of the longest product to make, they need about 30 days and because it is so bulky, I went with sea shipping or else the cost would double 🥶 thankfully they came in time for pop toy show and I think they look really good!! I hope you like them too!
