Product brief
Built around the way you pack.
Custom paper shopping bags are printed retail carry bags in SBS or kraft paperboard, with handles and finishes chosen to match the brand. Orders start at 50 units, with dieline and proof review included.
What are custom paper shopping bags?
A shopping bag is the last thing a customer holds from your store, and it travels through public spaces after the sale. The paper, print, and handles decide how the brand looks in the hand and on the street, so they are planned together rather than as an afterthought.
SBS paperboard gives a smooth white surface for detailed color print, and kraft paperboard gives a natural look. Handles can be twisted paper rope or flat ribbon for a presentation-led feel, or an integrated die-cut handle for a simpler single-piece bag.
Matching the bag to the product
Size the bag from the packed product width, height, and depth, the approximate weight, and how many items usually go in one bag. Choose a flat or gusseted base according to the depth, and confirm the handle drop so the bag is comfortable to carry.
Print, finish, and brand impression
Foil stamping can pick out a logo, matte lamination gives a low-glare surface, gloss lamination a higher sheen, and spot UV a selective shine. Each finish is reviewed against the artwork and the folds before the digital proof is approved.
How to order custom paper shopping bags
Send the packed product dimensions, approximate combined weight, quantity, preferred paper, handle style, base type, and artwork status. 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.
