Paper Bags and Boxes
FSC® certified paper on request (FSC-C232146). Customized print. Built for retail that cares about presentation.
Paper bags cost more per unit than non-woven or PP woven. They are also less suited for repeated heavy use. We will tell you that upfront, because it is true.
What paper does better than any other material: it looks good. The weight, the texture, the print finish. For fashion retail, premium grocery, retail gifting, and brands where the bag is part of the customer experience, paper is the right choice.
We hold an FSC® Chain of Custody certificate, licence code FSC-C232146. Paper bags and boxes can be ordered as FSC 100%, FSC Recycled or FSC Mix. When you order with an FSC claim, the claim and our licence code are stated on your invoice. View our FSC certificate (PDF)
Certification
Three types of FSC certification. Here is what each one means.
FSC 100%: All paper comes from FSC-certified forests. The strongest certification. Every tree in the supply chain is accounted for.
FSC Recycled: Paper made entirely from post-consumer or pre-consumer reclaimed materials. Good for buyers whose sustainability policy prioritizes recycled content.
FSC Mix: A combination of FSC-certified virgin fiber, recycled materials, and FSC-controlled wood. The most flexible option and the most common in retail paper bags.
If you are not sure which certification level your procurement or compliance team requires, send us the specification and we will confirm which option covers it.
Paper Shopping Bags
The classic retail carry bag. Available with rope handle (premium feel), flat die-cut handle (cleaner look), or twisted paper handle (most common). Printed in full color or spot colors. Used by fashion brands, boutiques, gift shops, and food retail.
Gift Boxes
Rigid or folding box construction. Used for product packaging, retail gifting, and premium unboxing experiences. Minimum order from 5,000 pieces, the same as paper bags.

What is the difference between art paper and kraft paper?
Kraft paper has a natural brown or unbleached white finish. It has a raw, textured feel that works well for organic, natural, or sustainable brand aesthetics. Art paper is smoother and coated, which gives sharper print results and a more polished finish. Fashion and luxury retail typically use art paper.
Can I mix bag sizes in one order?
Yes, with some conditions. Different sizes may require separate print setups. We will confirm the specifics once we have your requirements.
How long does production take?
45 to 60 days after artwork approval. Custom development adds 2 to 3 weeks for sample approval before production begins.
What are the minimum order quantities?
Bags and boxes both start at 5,000 pieces.
