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
Twisted handles · Flat handles · Die-cut handles
Carrier bags are the most versatile paper bag format for retail and food service. Available in natural kraft or white paperboard, they 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 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.
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.

The right paper weight and barrier combination depends on your product type, required shelf life, and sustainability goals.
