In today’s busy marketplace, standing out isn’t just about what you sell, it’s about the full experience your customers take with them. And often, that experience begins the moment they step outside with your bag in hand.
Here at Gilchrist Bag Manufacturing (GBM), we’re proud to help you turn that simple moment into something meaningful. With custom paper bags made right here in Camden, Arkansas, we bring together two things that matter most: sustainability and storytelling.
Why Custom Paper Bags Make a Difference
Think of your bag as more than just packaging – it’s a friendly introduction, like a good handshake. Whether you run a grocery store, a boutique, a restaurant, or a gift shop, your bag is a walking advertisement. It carries not only your products but also your brand values.
At GBM, we believe every bag should do more than look good, it should do good. That’s why our bags are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and often compostable, giving your business a way to showcase its brand while caring for the planet.
From rustic charm to modern elegance, our custom print options help your packaging tell your story, your way.
Custom Printing Options for Every Style
🖨️ Flexographic Printing (Flexo)
Perfect for large orders, flexo uses fast-drying water-based inks on paper rolls. It’s efficient, clean, eco-friendly, and ideal for businesses that need bold, consistent designs with up to four colors.
✍️ Post-Printing
Applied after the bag is formed, this method gives you flexibility with artwork placement across different bag sizes and styles. A great choice for retailers wanting detailed branding while keeping strength and durability intact.
✨ Hot Stamping
Looking for a polished, upscale look? Hot stamping adds shine with metallic foils or glossy imprints – perfect for boutiques, gift shops, weddings, and special events. Even with a one-case minimum, it makes your brand pop with elegance.
📸 Digital Printing
For smaller runs or highly detailed designs, digital is the way to go. It allows for full-color, photographic-quality graphics with fast turnaround – ideal for seasonal packaging, promotions, or one-of-a-kind events.
The GBM Difference: Sustainable Manufacturing Close to Home
We’re proud of our roots here in Camden, Arkansas – a community where family, hard work, and craftsmanship matter. That spirit shows in every bag we make. Whether you need a few thousand bags for a holiday promotion or a large-scale order for nationwide distribution, we put the same care and attention into each project.
From the first cut of paper to the last bit of packaging, we keep sustainability at the heart of what we do. Our manufacturing process is designed to minimize waste, conserve resources, and ensure every product is ready to meet the demands of today’s eco-conscious customers.
