Printed paper bags for shops: sizes, paper and cost

Printed paper carry bags for retail shops and brands: common sizes, kraft vs white paper, handles and a real price for a 10.5 × 13.5 inch bag.

Every printed bag that leaves your shop is a small walking advertisement. Paper bags also tell customers you care about the environment.

Sizes

Bag sizes are given as width × height × gusset (the folded side that lets the bag expand). Pick a size based on your largest common item, not the smallest.

• Small (around 8 × 10 in): jewellery, medicines, cosmetics
• Medium (10 × 13 to 10.5 × 13.5 in): clothes, books, sweets boxes
• Large (13 × 16 in and above): garments, gifts, shoes

Paper

Brown kraft is strong and has a natural look. White kraft shows colour printing better. Heavier paper (130 to 150 GSM) carries more weight; 100 GSM suits lighter items.

Price

Paper bags are priced on request, from 2,000 bags. Send the size, paper, handle and quantity on the paper bags page and we send a quote.

Finish the unboxing

Add a printed thank-you card to every bag or parcel, and clothing tags if you sell garments. Boxes for online orders and sweets are quoted to your size: see mailer boxes and sweet boxes.
