These easy-to-assemble treat bags are perfect for classroom parties, holiday movie nights, stocking stuffers, or crafting a themed snack table for a Minecraft-loving kid.
What You’ll Need
How to Make Printable Minecraft Snack Bags
1 – Before you start, download our free printable Minecraft bag using the button below. As soon as you click on the button, the download should appear. If you don’t see it, you can also find it in our free resource library, along with other free projects.
2 – Send the Printable Minecraft download to your printer. The following settings on your printer are reccomended.
- Paper Type – Specialty Glossy or Photo Glossy
- Print Quality – High or Best
- Fill Page – Select Borderless – this eliminates the need for trimming
- Bleed – Turn bleed off (not on all printers or programs)
Once the paper has printed, give it a few seconds to dry.
3 – Fold the bag, creating crease lines. Make sure the front image is centred on the front of the bag. Create an overlap on the bag of the bag, just wide enough to accommodate the tape line.
4 – Unfold the bag and run a line of tape across the top, bottom and along one end. On the end, run the tape along the underside of the overlapping end.
5 – Place the resealable bag into the center of the folds, lining up the top =edge of the bag with the top edge of the paper. Press to adhere.
6 – Make sure the bag is lying flat, and fold the sides over and seal the bottom edge and back seam. Check to make sure you can easily reopen the bag.
7 – Using a paper crimper, crimp the top and bottom edges of the bag. Take care when crimping the top to just crimp up the edge of the zipper. Do not try to force the zipper through the crimper.
8 – Unseal and fill with special Christmas treats or small toys.
Helpful Tips and FAQs
Zlgternative Paper Choices
For best results, I recommend using brochure paper or lightweight photo paper. A glossy finish will provide the most vibrant colours and a polished, professional appearance. Regular printer paper is a more budget-friendly option and will still work well, while the colours may not appear as vivid, the finished bags will still be a hit with the kids.
Omitting the Resealable Bag
It is not required to add a resealable bag; however, it is highly recommended when packaging unsealed items such as cookies, oily chips, or loose candies. Using a resealable inner bag helps prevent oils and moisture from transferring to the printed wrapper, and it also keeps the snack bag cleaner and more durable.
If you prefer to create the chip bags without a resealable insert, simply follow the standard assembly steps and omit the inner bag.
Finishing the Bags without a Crimper
f you don’t have a paper crimper but still want to achieve a decorative, finished look, there are several effective alternatives. Decorative-edged scissors can add a stylish touch to the top and bottom of the chip bag, creating a visually appealing finish. You can also lightly score horizontal lines using a scoring tool or even a dull butter knife to mimic the textured appearance of a crimped edge.
For an even cleaner result, fold along the scored lines before sealing, which helps create crisp, professional-looking edges. While these methods won’t fully replicate the effect of a crimper, they offer simple, budget-friendly ways to elevate the presentation of your chip bags without additional tools.
