Choose the Right Paper Bag for Your Business
Each bag structure is optimized for a specific use case. Select a type below to see specs, applications, and ordering details.
Kraft & White Carrier Bags
Twist handle · Flat handle · Die-cut handle paper bags
Carrier bags are the paper bags with handles that most retail and food service brands start from. Sold as paper shopping bags in retail, they come in natural kraft or white paperboard and can be fitted with twisted rope handles, flat paper handles, or die-cut handles to match your brand aesthetic. The wide print area on front and back makes them ideal for full-color logo branding.
Flat Bottom SOS Bags
Self-opening · Square base · Gusseted sides
Flat-bottom bags — also called SOS bags (self-opening satchel) — stand upright on their own thanks to a square base and gusseted sides. This makes them ideal for fast-filling at bakery counters, deli stations, and food service lines. Available in multiple sizes from small pastry bags to large grocery paper bags.
PE-Lined Gusseted Bags
Polyethylene inner · Expandable gussets · Food-grade
PE-lined gusseted bags combine a polyethylene inner coating with expandable side gussets for maximum capacity and moisture protection. The PE lining creates a reliable barrier against grease and moisture, making these bags suitable for sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, and other moist or greasy food items.
Flat Bottom Bags with a Window
Full-height window · Partial window · Flat-bottom base
A window turns a flat-bottom bag into a display pack: the customer sees the bread, the cookies or the roasted beans without opening anything. Two cuts are available, a full-height vertical window down the front panel and a smaller partial window, and both sit on the same flat-bottom base as our standard SOS range, so the bag still stands up on the counter.
Eight-Side Seal Bags
Block bottom · Structured silhouette · Premium shelf presence
Eight-side seal bags (also called block-bottom or pillow bags) have a distinctive structured base formed by eight sealed panels. This creates a stable, self-standing bag with a premium shelf presence — ideal for coffee beans, loose-leaf tea, specialty snacks, and artisan food products that need to stand out at retail.
Paper Bag Sizes: Pastry to Grocery
These are the standard patterns we run, in centimetres and millimetres. Carton quantity varies with bag size — typically 200 to 500 per carton; we confirm the exact count with your quote. Custom sizes are available; tell us the format when you ask.
