Unlike integrated die-cut handles, these bags use handles attached to the outside of the bag, creating a distinct handle construction and presentation.
For businesses in the USA, custom printed external handle kraft bags can combine convenient carrying with a professional branded appearance.

Custom Printed External Handle Kraft Bags
Custom printing allows businesses to add branding directly to their kraft bags. Depending on the selected specifications, the bag can feature a logo, business name, artwork, patterns, messaging, or other brand elements.
Printed external handle bags can be especially useful for boutiques, retail stores, specialty shops, events, and businesses that want their packaging to reinforce brand recognition.
External Handle Construction and Options
The handle is attached separately to the outside of the bag rather than being cut directly into the paper. This creates a different look and feel from die-cut handle bags.
Handle considerations can include:
| Handle Consideration | Purpose |
| Handle placement | Supports convenient carrying |
| Handle construction | Influences the bag’s overall appearance |
| Handle material | Can complement the bag design |
| Bag size | Should match the products being carried |
| Product weight | Helps determine appropriate specifications |
The handle and bag construction should be selected according to the products, expected weight, and intended use.
