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)

Right choice when

  • Your brand has a sustainability policy that specifies FSC-certified materials
  • The end customer experience includes the packaging as part of the product
Not the right choice when
  • You need a bag for repeated heavy grocery use
  • Cost per unit is the primary driver

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, tell us your use case. We will give you an honest recommendation, including if a different material makes more sense for your situation.
FAQ’s
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. Organic food and eco-focused brands often prefer kraft.
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.
Can I see a sample before committing to an order?
Yes. We can send samples of existing styles. A sample fee applies whenever artwork or dimensions change from a previous version. This covers the cost of producing a new sample to your exact spec.
How long does production take?
45-60 days after artwork approval. Custom development adds 2-3 weeks for sample approval.

More questions

Are your paper bags FSC certified?

Yes, on request. We hold an FSC Chain of Custody certificate, licence code FSC-C232146, valid to October 2031. Paper bags and boxes can be ordered as FSC 100%, FSC Recycled or FSC Mix, and the claim and our licence code are stated on your invoice. FSC rules require the licence code to appear with any FSC claim, so it goes on your artwork alongside the label.

Which paper bag handle should I choose?

Twisted paper handle is the most common and the lowest cost, and it is the one most retail buyers picture when they say paper bag. Flat die-cut handle is cut from the bag itself for a cleaner, more minimal look. Rope handle has the most premium feel and is the usual choice for fashion and gifting.

What is the difference between FSC 100%, FSC Mix and FSC Recycled?

FSC 100% means all the fibre comes from FSC-certified forests. FSC Recycled means all the fibre is reclaimed, verified as genuinely recycled rather than simply claimed. FSC Mix blends certified, recycled and controlled material under FSC's rules. Mix is the most widely available and usually the most economical. If your own sustainability claim depends on a specific fibre content, tell us which label you need before we quote, because the three are not interchangeable.
