Why retailers choose our paper bags
A bag that tears is a brand that disappoints. We specify paper, handles and construction around the weight your bags will actually carry.
- Paper matched to the load. 120–250 gsm stocks specified by bag size and contents, so handles don't tear and bottoms hold.
- Handle options for every tier. Twisted paper, flat paper, die-cut, cotton rope and grosgrain ribbon.
- Reinforced where it counts. Glued and folded bottoms with reinforced handle patches for heavier goods.
- Print that survives the street. Scuff-resistant lamination keeps your branding sharp through reuse.
- Eco options that are real. Recycled papers, water-based inks and adhesives — plastic-free builds on request.
- Sizes from boutique to bulk. Small gift bags to large e-commerce mailers with adhesive strips.
- Flat-packed for freight. Bags ship flat and pop open, keeping shipping and storage costs down.
