Paper Shopping Bags

These bags may be classic, but trust us, they’re anything but basic. We offer multiple versions of paper shopping bags, so you’re sure to find the one that fits your needs.

#1 Kraft bags with metallic tints – Perfect when you want something a little more edgy than just a matted color.

#2 Kraft bags with matte tints – If you’re looking for the classic clean look, these are our go-to bags.

Kraft bags are great because they come in almost every color imaginable. Not sure if you want to go with a solid color? These paper bags can be jazzed up by ordering custom shopping bags with logo prints. We especially love our large selection of versatile recyclable bags. If you’re looking to use eco-friendly products, be sure to check out our:

#3 Recycled kraft paper merchandise bags – You can’t go wrong when you use eco-friendly packaging products. In fact, according to the 2016 WestRock Packaging Matters Report, 65% of shoppers say that companies should package their products using materials that won’t harm the environment.

Make sure you’re in touch with what’s important to your consumers, and keep in mind that many recycled bag options are comparably priced with regular shopping bags.

Decorative bags make your customers feel extra-special. Plus, they can always be used as ready-to-go gift wrap, saving your customers an extra step when they’re shopping for gifts in your store! Don’t forget to order gift cards and gift bows to really add that finishing touch!

Gourmet and SOS Paper Bags

If you want quick, no fuss packaging, that doesn’t mean you have to be boring.

#8 Gourmet & SOS paper bags – Perfect for bookstores, stationary stores, and bakeries.

And don’t let the name fool you! You won’t need to call for help – SOS stand for “Self-Opening Sacks.” SOS bags are made without handles, so they’re ideal for items that don’t need much protection and will probably be used very shortly after purchase. Once the item is in the bag, just fold the top over and go! Just because they’re going to be opened quickly doesn’t mean they can’t be cute. We’re obsessed with our gingham merchandise bags, perfect for a rustic bakery or handmade card shop.

#9 Gourmet and colored paper lunch bags – Available in a wide variety of colors, from classic kraft to the charming wild rose.

Euro Tote Bags

Bring your customers some paper bags reminiscent of the grace, elegance, and style seen on the other side of the pond. We offer:

#10 Euro tote bags – Find these in a variety of patterns and colors.

We even have the ever-so-popular:

#11 Eco-friendly Euro totes – These bags are available in lots of options when it comes to the finish of the bag. Choose from: glossy, matte, metallic, glossy laminated – just about anything you could imagine, we have.

If you’re ready to stock back up, post holiday-gift-wrap-season, check out our simple but oh-so-classic San Francisco Euro totes.
