General

There is no general definition for a carrier bag, but we define it as a durable, visually attractive, and environmentally friendly bag for carrying purchased items.

Depending on the design and the order quantity, the offset or the digital printing method is used to print on printing sheets for the bags, which are then inserted into an automated bag production line. These are then folded and glued in key locations and handles are placed on both sides. It is quite fascinating how, at the end of the process, a sheet of paper, paper rope, and some glue turn into a perfect paper bag that comes out of the machine – a Prima Bag.

Depending on the design or quantity, prints are made on individual printing sheets made from environmentally friendly paper using offset printing or digital printing.

The paper is purchased from renowned European paper manufacturers holding an FSC and/or PEFC certificate.

We use a mixture of recycled and new paper fibres. It is generally estimated that the paper used for our production purposes can be recycled 4–6 times before it is finally discarded.

It depends. If you choose brown KRAFT paper as the base material (unprocessed, uncoloured), our bags are biodegradable and can be discarded into a biodegradable waste container after use.

Of course. Our production facility is located at Brnčičeva 31 in Ljubljana.
