Review on 🌿 100 Natural Kraft Merchandise Bags, 5x7-1/2, No Gusset: Environmentally Friendly Packaging Solution by WCI by Amanda Castillo

Depending on what you need them for, they may work. They just didn't work for me. They were thin, wrinkled and unprintable. The first thing that struck me when I received these packs was that they were wrapped with a rubber band in the center of the packs. Maybe it doesn't hurt the pockets sometimes, but mine were wrinkled and puckered down the middle. Not only do the bags look bad now, but since my main goal was printing, they kept getting stuck because they weren't flat. In the end I had to stick the bag on a piece of paper, which was normal, but it hurt. The seller does not have to wrap them with rubber bands and should not do so in the future. The second problem was the texture of these bags. I've bought from other sellers with the same texture and weight formulation and something is wrong here. They are very thin and I don't think they are 30# paper. They also had a waxy sheen. I knew immediately they wouldn't be printed, but I gave it a try anyway. In fact, between the creases and the gloss, the ink had slipped from half the packet. I was able to print on other bags with no problem, so I don't know why this one was so different. In any case, this bag is not suitable for my specific needs. Just FYI for others, the bag did not have any stamps or markings on the back of the bag as stated in the description to say 'This bag is made from 100% recycled material. Paper, at least 40% post-consumer Percentage printed with water-based inks. 100% recycled". All my pockets were empty (which I preferred so that was great for me) but I know others want this seal and it's not included. Bottom line: if you just want a bag, you're going to use a sticker, then these bags work well. I would try someone else if you want to print. This item appears to have changed from previous bags they may have sold.
