Product brief
Built around the way you pack.
Custom paper grocery bags are gusseted paperboard carry bags made around the groceries, pantry goods, or market items they hold. Easy Box Packaging makes them to order from 50 units, with dieline and proof review included.
What are custom paper grocery bags?
A grocery bag has to hold several items at once, so the base, the gusset depth, and the handle matter as much as the print. A gusseted base opens out to carry boxes, jars, and loaves upright, while the body keeps your branding visible when the bag is carried.
Kraft paperboard is the usual direction for grocery and market use because of its natural look. SBS paperboard is available when a brighter printed surface suits the brand, and handle options include twisted paper rope, flat ribbon, or an integrated die-cut handle.
Sizing for the load
Share the packed width, height, and depth of the typical order, the heaviest items, and any tall bottles or jars. The gusset depth and handle clearance are then specified so the bag closes around the load, and the build is reviewed against the weight you state.
Food retail considerations
If the bag will touch food directly, requirements vary by product and market, so confirm them with your compliance adviser before artwork is approved. Print and finish choices such as matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV, or foil stamping are reviewed against the artwork and the handling route.
How to order custom paper grocery bags

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.

Proof points
Details to confirm before print
A useful proof shows how the bag will sit, open, and carry once it is filled. Check the details below before approving custom paper grocery bags.
- Bag size and base
- The packed product dimensions and combined weight are checked against the bag size and a flat or gusseted base.
- Handle
- The handle style, drop, and attachment points are checked with the filled load.
- Paper
- Kraft or SBS paperboard is confirmed against the artwork and the color response on the proof.
- Artwork coverage
- Front, back, gusset, base, and handle areas are checked for legibility and safe spacing.

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.
