Good and bad bagged magazines

bagged_mags.JPGSome publishers handle bagged magazines better than others as the photo shows.

The folks at Fast Car have included their masthead on the bag whereas the folks at APC have hidden the masthead and made picking the title more challenging.

Fast Car in this packaging has a quality feel. Also, the information on the bag makes it less likely to be ripped open. APC feels cheap. The lack of detail on the bag makes it more likely to be ripped open.
