Retail Bags That Carry Your Brand Out the Door
Kraft shopping bags, art-paper luxury bags, die-cut handle and wine / gift bags — foil-stamped to match your box branding. Made in-house with the same low MOQ 100 and 5–7 day sampling as your boxes, shipped to the US, Canada, Australia and EU.
What are custom paper bags?
Custom paper bags are branded retail and gift bags made to your size, paper, handle, and print specification. Unlike stock carrier bags, they are sized to your product, finished with your logo in the same foil or ink as your boxes, and built from FSC-friendly kraft or art paper. Common types include kraft shopping bags, art-paper luxury bags, die-cut handle bags, and wine / gift bags — all produced in-house and foil-stamped to match your packaging system.
- MOQ from 100 pieces — launch a retail line or limited gift edition without committing to 500–1,000 units.
- Made to match your boxes — same gold, silver, or cream-gold foil so bag and box read as one brand.
- Eco by default — recyclable kraft and art paper with soy inks and water-based adhesives.
