Paper Bags and Boxes
FSC-certified. Print-ready. 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.
All our paper bags and boxes carry FSC certification. That means the paper comes from responsibly managed forests, verified by an independent third party.

Is paper right for your order?
Right choice when
- Presentation and brand image are the priority
- The bag will be used once or twice (gifting, retail takeaway)
- 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
- Your order is below 10,000 pcs for bags (consider boxes at 3,000 pcs instead)

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.
