Paper Bags size guide
Typical sizes buyers order. Every size can be adjusted — share the item the bag must carry and we will size it to fit.
Dimensions are approximate starting points, not fixed catalogue sizes.
How to choose paper bags for a bulk order
Decide these four things first — they drive suitability, quality and price.
Load
Grocery and retail loads need gussets and reinforced handles; giveaways can be lighter.
Material
Non-woven for economy, cotton for washable reuse, jute for a natural premium look, paper for boutique retail.
Fabric weight
Specify GSM — it decides strength and price more than any other choice.
Print
One- or two-colour screen printing keeps costs down on large runs.
Material options for paper bags
Material decides look, durability, weight and price. We help you choose the right one for your use and budget.
Customisation & branding
Paper Bags can be branded with offset printing, foil stamping, spot UV and lamination (matt or gloss). Popular customisation services:
