Semi-rigid paper handle with standard knit – FSC® Certified

DESCRIPTION

SERIE PASMAT FSC MIX CREDIT 
Our knitted paper cord has been created to enhance the appearance and user experience of automatically produced bags. We have optimised our manufacturing process to achieve a more compact and defined knitted structure, with a more attractive appearance and a softness similar to that of a textile handle.

This combination brings automatic production closer to the aesthetics of luxury boutique bags with cord handles, delivering a higher-value presentation without the need for textile materials or manual assembly. Compared with twisted paper handles, the handle is no longer merely a functional component, but a distinctive detail that enhances the design and perceived quality of the brand.

Technical specifications 

Manufactured entirely from paper and certified to FSC® MIX CREDIT standards, this cord has an approximate diameter of 4 mm and a semi-rigid structure developed for automatic paper bag production lines.

• Soft, textile-like feel: The optimised manufacturing process provides a more pleasant feel than twisted paper handles, improving comfort when carrying the bag.
• Compact and defined knitted structure: Its uniform construction gives the paper handle a more refined appearance and greater visual presence.
• Load capacity of up to 10 kg per handle: The cord has been tested to provide reliable strength and performance during use.
• Performance on automatic production lines: The semi-rigid structure helps the cord retain its shape as it passes through the machine, supporting consistent feeding and precise positioning.

Applications and uses 

This cord for paper bags is particularly suitable for use as a handle in:

• Cosmetics and perfumery packaging: where the handle must reflect the exclusivity of the product.
• Premium retail bags: for fashion brands seeking a superior finish compared with the standard twisted handle.
• Pharmacy and para-pharmacy packaging: requiring 100% sustainable and resistant solutions.
• Promotional bags and merchandising: where durability and aesthetics reinforce brand perception.

It improves the appearance of the bag compared with traditional solutions, delivering a more refined aesthetic without affecting productivity.

Sustainability and certification 

As a mono-material product, this handle is 100% paper and fully recyclable. It holds FSC® MIX CREDIT certification, guaranteeing that the raw material comes from responsibly managed forests. 

It enables brands to meet their circular economy goals and "Zero Waste" strategies, offering 100% eco-friendly packaging without compromising on high-end aesthetics.

Design 

Available in standard colours: white, black and natural kraft, widely used across professional packaging applications. Custom colour development is available for projects requiring full alignment with brand identity and visual consistency.

Its braided structure provides a more uniform and refined appearance compared to traditional solutions, improving product perception at the point of sale, particularly in mid-to-high-end and premium retail packaging.

Finishes and Formats 

The handle is supplied specifically prepared to ensure maximum productivity in the factory:

• Spools – optimised for continuous feeding in automatic bag-making machines
• Reels – designed for controlled handling and supply in industrial production systems

Delivery Formats 

It is supplied mainly on spools or reels prepared for automatic production, optimising line performance and reducing interruptions in the process.
