What moves the price
For paper bag, the drivers are dimensions, gauge, material, closure type, print coverage — the spec them differently and the same item lands at either end of the band.
For custom bakery bags, price moves most with material (paper vs poly vs waxed/greaseproof), bag size, print coverage/color count, and whether a closure like tin-tie or window is added. Real supplier routes that fit this market are wholesale packaging distributors for lower tiers, then factory-direct custom printers or import/landed-equivalent sourcing for 5,000+ units; flexographic custom print usually adds setup cost and becomes materially cheaper per unit at higher volumes
