Study Task 09: Outcome 05


This bag has been produced using 100% recycled (FSC approved) Cairn Eco White 300gsm card, strong and durable (and therefore reusable) in quality while providing a natural yet contemporary alternative to brown recycled substrates. With a chlorine free manufacturing process and acid free resolution, the material is safe for the environment. A rougher surface that accentuates the natural 
character of the card is supplied as a result of the substrate being more fibrous.

Featuring contrasting black herringbone-weave 100% cotton handles and an additional tied bow keeping the bag closed at the centre, the bag prompts the consumer into personal engagement and interaction, which in turn enhances expectation through amplified suspense when opening the bag for the product within. 100% cotton handles can be recycled by using stripping machines that break the yarns and fabric into smaller pieces before pulling them apart into fibre before being spun into new yarns. The strong contrast between the black cotton and eco white (grey) stock creates a bold, distinct  and sumptuous aesthetic, enhancing appeal to the high-end consumer.



Die-cut into the bag is the word 'Eco,' though backing using the same eco white card provides an elegant subtlety and modern edge/aesthetic. This provides example of additional finishing to the bag, creating an enhanced perception of the bag as a result of increased tactile quality and additional craft/process leading to greater consumer appraisal.
