Versatile, practical bags

Introducing the paper bag that all other paper bags wish they could be: premium, high-end, with all-over printing. With kraft paper bags, you can convey the quality of your products and get free advertising with every customer who carries one. Not to mention, they let everyone know that you’ve cut down on plastic. The versatile style makes them ideal for everything from retail boutiques, markets and trade shows – to take-outs and bakeries. Our paper bags with handles come in 3 sizes – small (7.48" x 3.15" x 8.86") is perfect for cosmetics or jewelry, medium (8.66" x 3.94" x 11.81") suits apparel or books, and large (10.24" x 5.51" x 13.39") comfortably holds a standard shoebox or a bulky takeout order. Made from a sturdy kraft stock (roughly 120gsm) with a 13.2 lb weight capacity and solid tear resistance, these bags are built to handle real, everyday use.

Industry specific styles

With 3 sizes to choose from, kraft bags are great for corporate events, birthday parties or promo giveaways. Our multi-color and all-over print options (with edge-to-edge coverage) let you create custom bags that customers want to keep. All-over printing covers every panel of the bag, while single- and double-sided options keep your design to the front or front-and-back. And with clear previews in our design studio before checkout, you can always order with confidence. Just keep in mind that brown kraft paper can mute brighter colors, so if vibrant, true-to-screen color matters for your logo, white paper bags with handles will give you a sharper result. On a budget? No problem. Our single-color option is kind to your bank account.

Designing made easy

Ready to start creating your custom kraft bags? Upload your own logo or artwork, or customize a template in our design studio. (You can save your project and come back to it at any time.) Once you've found a favorite, make it yours by adding custom touches and choosing the options that work best for you. After that, we'll take care of the rest, professionally printing and sending your order. Standard delivery typically takes a few business days, with rush options available – exact production and shipping estimates for your custom paper bags vary per location. Your custom paper bags will arrive looking crisp, polished and ready to show off.

Kraft paper bags are generally recyclable and are accepted by many recycling programs. However, the availability of recycling for them may differ depending on your location, so we suggest consulting local recycling points for confirmation.

Yes, you can upload your own logo or design when customizing your kraft bags. However, please note that blank areas in your design will show the natural color of the bag (brown or white kraft). We recommend you use a logo, image or design with at least 300 dpi to get the best quality print. As a tip, single-color designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes.

Our kraft paper bags are 0.13 mm thick.
