Product brief
Built around the way you pack.
Custom paper bags with handles are printed carry bags made from kraft or SBS paperboard, with a handle style chosen for the load and the look. Easy Box Packaging makes them to order from 50 units, with dieline and proof review included.
What are custom paper bags with handles?
A handled paper bag has three parts that work together: the body, the base, and the handle. The body carries the print, the base (flat or gusseted) sets how much the bag holds and how it stands, and the handle sets how it feels in the hand and how much weight it can reasonably carry.
Handle options include twisted paper rope, flat ribbon, and an integrated die-cut handle cut into the bag panel. Rope and ribbon handles suit presentation-led gifting and boutique retail, while a die-cut handle removes a separate handle attachment and keeps the bag a single printed piece.
Sizing the bag and the handle
Size the bag from what it will carry. Share the packed product width, height, and depth, the approximate combined weight, and the orientation of the items, then confirm the handle drop and clearance so the bag closes around the load without strain.
Print and finish options
Print covers the front and back panels with your brand mark and pattern. Foil stamping, matte lamination, gloss lamination, or spot UV can be reviewed against the artwork, with placement checked near folds, the base, and the handle attachment points.
How to order custom paper bags with handles

The standard fulfillment path starts at 50 units, with production from 7 business days after digital proof approval. Free US shipping and dieline and proof review are included at no extra charge, and nothing goes to production until you approve the digital proof.

What the packaging review connects
A paper bag is reviewed as a carried package: the load, the base, the handle, and the printed surface are checked together.
Load and fit
Packed width, height, depth, combined weight, and orientation guide the bag size and base.
Handle and carry
Twisted paper rope, flat ribbon, or a die-cut handle is chosen for the load and the look.
Readable print
Front, back, gusset, and handle areas are checked so branding stays clear when the bag is carried.

The practical load depends on the paper, bag size, base, and handle style, so share the packed weight when you request a quote. The specification is reviewed against the real load before a proof is prepared, and no universal weight rating is stated for every size.
Yes. Kraft paperboard gives a natural brown surface, and SBS paperboard gives a smooth white surface for detailed color print. The choice depends on your artwork and brand.
A gusseted base opens out to give the bag depth for bulkier items, while a flat base gives a firm standing footprint. The base is chosen from the packed depth of the product.
