White Paper Bags

Bring a clean, sustainable finish to your packaging with our white paper bags, a versatile and eco friendly option for businesses of all kinds. Made from durable white kraft paper with reinforced twisted paper handles, these paper carry bags combine strength and simplicity with a classic look that suits retail, hospitality and gifting.

Why white kraft

White stock gives you a bright, neutral base that makes printed logos, stickers and ribbon stand out, and it reads as cleaner and more premium than brown on a boutique or gift counter. The twisted paper handles are reinforced where they meet the bag, which is the point that fails first on cheaper bags, and the paper construction means the whole bag can go into kerbside recycling once your customer is finished with it.

Where they are used

• Cafes, bakeries and takeaway outlets

How to read the measurements

The first two figures are the width and height of the bag face, and the third figure after the plus sign is the gusset, which is the depth the bag opens out to at the base. A bag with a deeper gusset holds boxed and bulky items far better than a flat one of the same face size, so if you are packing anything with thickness to it, look at the gusset first.

Choosing a size

Mini Gift, Runt and Toddler suit jewellery, cosmetics, small gifts and single takeaway items. Baby and Junior handle books, homewares and standard retail purchases. Small and Midi are the everyday workhorses for clothing and multi-item sales, while Medium and Large take bulky purchases, hampers and bundled orders.

Buying individually or in bulk

Buying by the carton brings the unit price down and is the sensible option once a size becomes part of your regular counter stock. Buying individually is there for the odd job, for trialling a size before you commit, or for keeping one or two larger bags on hand without dedicating shelf space to a full carton. Many of our customers run cartons of their two most used sizes and buy singles across the rest of the range.
