Paper Carrier Bags
A carrier bag is a billboard for your brand that walks down the street. We produce them in kraft or white paper with twisted paper or flat ribbon handles, and reinforce the handle joint with a board patch. Paper weights are available for every load, from a takeaway meal to a shop purchase.
Applications
The handle must not pull, the base must not split
Two points decide a carrier bag: where the handle meets the paper, and how the base is folded. We reinforce both. Tell us the weight you need to carry and we choose the paper accordingly.

FAQ
About carrier bags
Which paper weight should I choose?
110 gsm is enough for light goods. For meal delivery, books or glassware we recommend 150 gsm and above. Tell us what goes in the bag and we will choose for you.
Twisted or flat handles — which is stronger?
Twisted paper handles carry more weight and keep the bag fully recyclable as paper. Flat ribbon handles are cheaper and suit lighter goods.
Can I put food directly in the bag?
Packaged food is fine. If the contents touch the paper directly, tell us at quotation stage so we specify food-safe paper and ink.
Are small runs possible?
Handle assembly runs on a separate line, which keeps the floor at 2,000 pcs. Unprinted stock bags can be supplied in smaller quantities.
