Did you know that the sunflower will always grow facing the sun? That is how they got their name.

Sunflowers symbolize happiness, joy, and sunshine! Why not capture these sentiments when giving someone a personal gift? This sunflower gift bag is the perfect paper craft for portraying these feelings. Let someone know just how special they are to you and that they bring rays of sunshine into your life.

This gift bag has a rustic design and an easygoing feel to it. It would make a perfect favor or gift bag for a simple wedding or bridal shower. You could also use it for birthdays and those gifts that you give just because!

No green thumb? No problem with this beautiful project. You could get away with making these tissue paper flowers at practically no cost. They make great centerpieces for parties, additions to tablescapes, or pretty photo backdrops.

You can make your own bright blooms that will never die with just a few simple materials. Really, I don’t think we’ve done a project with fewer materials before. Here’s what you’ll need:

And that’s it! Obviously patience is required as well, but we don’t have to count that in our supply list. These flowers look a lot harder than they are. To get started you’re going to want to choose three colored sheets of tissue paper. One will be the pollen-y center and the rest will be the outside petals.

Smartbag Australia’s “Express Print” Service for Short-Run, Full-Colour Premium Bag Printing

Smartbag Australia’s “Express Print” Service for Short-Run, Full-Colour Premium Bag Printing

by Smartbag Australia ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Australia’s leading online custom bags supplier offers 20 per cent off on new online service for short-run, full-colour custom digital printing on white, brown, and premium gloss paper bags.

Smartbag Australia, a leading online supplier of wholesale bags in Sydney, has launched a new exclusive service on its website called Express Print, allowing customers to order their own personalized white, brown, and premium paper bags, all in one portal. Users simply have to choose their desired paper bag, build or upload their artwork, proof the design, and send to print. And for the entire month of January, all orders made through Express Print will get a 20 per cent discount.

Customers are presented with three choices when ordering bags through Express Print.

First, they can choose to design their own custom printed bags using the Smartbag-exclusive “Express Print Do IT Yourself Editor,” a browser-based design software with an entire suite of drag-and-drop layout tools, including text, shapes, images, graphics, and even custom QR codes among many others. The Do IT Yourself Editor is free to use, allowing prospective customers to preview what their bags look like before making a purchase decision.

Customers can also take the second option of uploading their own artwork in a PDF or EPS file according to Smartbag’s specifications. The company will take care of the rest and send customers a soft copy of their proposed design for proofing.

Finally, for customers who do not know where to start with their custom bags’ design, Smartbag also offers in-house design services for an all-in fee of $95 (exclusive of GST). Customers simply have to answer a brief questionnaire to give Smartbag’s designers an overview of what their bags will be used for and what they want them to look like.

“We designed Express Print primarily for small business owners who are looking for short-run, full-colour premium custom bags for retail, food and beverage, gift bags, and more” explains Andy Dier, Sales Manager at Smartbag. “Customers can order a minimum of 20 bags in their personalised paper of choice and design their bags according to their specs.”

Express Print is available for the following bag variants:

  • Premium Deluxe Paper Bags (Gloss, Matte, and Plain)
  • White Kraft Paper Bags
  • Brown Kraft Paper Bags

All bag variants are available in a wide range of sizes, ensuring that customers can find the ideal custom printed bags for their needs.
