Can I compare different paper and handle options?

Yes. Paper and handles should be compared together because both affect how the finished bag looks and feels. A paper that looks right in a photograph may have a different shade or stiffness in person.

Review paper samples for surface, colour and fold behaviour. Compare handles for texture, length, comfort and their attachment to the bag.

For the final decision, examine a completed sample carrying the intended contents. It shows how the chosen materials perform as one construction.
