Popular Styles Of Paper Bags

When it comes to your company, a paper bag speaks volumes about how your branding is portrayed. Creating the perfect paper bag gives you the opportunity to offer customers utility while putting your brand on full display in and out of the store. Here are some of our favorite styles to create for our customers:

  • Euro Totes: Euro totes are often used by higher-end retailers as their branded merchandise bags. Euro totes are easy to customize with designs and their branded logos. With custom handles and embellishments, they make great alternatives to the traditional retail shopping bag.
  • Food Service Bags: Food Service bags are specifically crafted to protect your carry-out or lunch containers in the food service industry. Often created from durable art papers, these bags comfortably hold and preserve the freshness of your meal.
  • Post-Consumer Waste Bags: With a rising concern for the environment, consumers and retailers alike want to be proactive in reducing their carbon footprint. Eco-friendly bags made with a percentage of post-consumer waste can help us all go green. Our bags can be recycled or even reused for other needs.

We offer two types of custom shopping bags: Euro totes and Kraft paper bags.

  • Euro totes: Considering the paper used to create our euro totes, they are not considered recyclable. Euro tote shopping bags are generally created with non-recyclable handles along with laminations (we offer soft touch, matte, or gloss laminations.) which are very popular choices when creating euro tote bags.
  • Brown or White Kraft: Our kraft shopping bags, on the other hand, are recyclable. We offer multiple types of kraft papers that are fully recyclable, are affordable to manufacture, and have a high paper strength. Our most popular types of kraft paper are brown kraft paper and white kraft paper. Our two most popular eco-friendly kraft paper types are FSC® papers and kraft papers made with a percentage of post-consumer waste. (The general percentage for our post-consumer waste content is 40-80%)

Once you have worked with us and placed your shopping bag order, if requested, we will send our customers pre-production samples for approval. Upon approval of the pre-production samples, the order will then go into full production. After production has been completed, we will also send you a series of samples. Finally, you will then receive your new products.

Paper Eurototes and natural kraft paper bags are a greater cost-effective option than single-use plastic bags. Packaging collections with custom bags have several benefits. First, packaging with paper bags is environmentally friendly. Next, we use lightweight papers to craft our bags for the affordable packing and shipping of our products.

Our custom paper bags benefit the environment while simultaneously promoting your business. Our bags are strong, flexible, and reusable. The bags are perfect for products of any type. Finally, you can reuse your brand’s paper shopping bags as gift bags. Gift wrapping is easy with the versatility of our euro totes or eco-friendly kraft shopping bags.

Use our bags for a variety of needs: Retail, events, gifting, food service, lunch bags, takeout bags, grocery bags, and more! Whether your bags are made of white paper, specialty papers or have twisted paper handles, or even ribbon handles, your new paper shoppers will be sure to fit perfectly into your everyday packaging collection.
