Drab, flimsy bags completely devoid of brand recognition may seem more affordable, but there are some serious and costly repercussions, including:solely based on packaging.

What is the real cost to your business?

If you feel customer satisfaction, or even your own enthusiasm about your brand may be dwindling, it may be time to look into your custom shopping bag options. The right packaging, bags, and total look can completely revamp your store’s image, no matter what you’re selling.

Let’s take a look at 5 fabulous – and fiscally responsible – reasons to make a change to chic, up-to-date, custom shopping bags from MidAtlantic Packaging.

1) Low Minimums

If you’re ordering custom bags for a particular season or event, or if you like the idea of switching up your bags, we offer low minimum orders. So if you’re just not ready to commit to a large order, we’ve got you covered. Our low minimum requirement means that you can easily upgrade your custom bags.

2) Connect with Our On-Site Artist

If you need moderate changes to your art work, we may be able to help you. So if you want to play around with your logo or coloring, our onsite graphic artist can help. Let us expedite and elevate the design process by bringing our talent to you.

3) Low, Competitive Pricing

We’ve all heard the saying: You can have two out of three: fast, cheap, or good. We’re looking to challenge that tired motto. By working with our industry connections, conducting tireless research, and using only high-quality materials, we can afford to treat our customers the way they deserve to be treated – without sacrificing affordability. We keep costs low because we’ve done our homework, and we’re able to work with a variety of budgets.

4) Free Plates When Switching Vendors

If you’re hot stamping your logo or illustration to create your custom shopping bag, you’ll need to use printing plates. Essentially, your design is carefully crafted onto plates and then used to “stamp” your shopping bags. We know that many of our customers are concerned about the costs of such plates – particularly when they want to use the same design on future orders. As a result, we’ve worked hard and negotiated with everyone possible to make sure that ordering plates is a cost-effective, not budget-busting, part of your purchase. When we can, we make every effort to give free plates to customers who have switched their vendors. You shouldn’t be financially punished for wanting something better, nor should you be forced to stick with a mediocre option. We’ll make every effort to work within your budget so we can give you durable, quality plates that don’t break your bank and that will result in beautiful, affordable customized shopping bags that really stand out against the competition.

5) Dedicated and Knowledgeable Staff

As a boutique or small business owner, we know your time is limited – you already have a million things to do every day. Do you really have time to completely redesign your customized shopping bags? If you’re unsure, or too busy, to know what to do next in terms of rebranding your bags, we can connect you with one of our experienced sales representatives who offer industry expertise on a personal level. Work with someone who’s willing to get to know you and your store and help you design a bag that will allow you to tap into your dream target market.

We know making a change may seem like a daunting, time-consuming task, but it doesn’t have to be. And you don’t have to settle for average custom shopping bag designs that don’t elevate your brand or impress your customers. With all the benefits of upgrading your shopping bag look, ask yourself this: can you really afford not to make a change? Reach out to us today to make the switch.
