Frequently Asked Questions

The recommended weight you place in your kraft paper bag is dependent on the size and type of paper bag you have. For example, we recommend not exceeding 2.5 kg for our extra small and small kraft paper bags. Medium-sized bags can hold up to 5 kg. We recommend not exceeding 4 kg for bottle bags. Our luxury gift bags can hold up to 8 kg, depending on the size. 

To get the most out of your custom kraft paper bags, we recommend you do the following:

  1. Keep it simple. Printing your logo on kraft paper bags is not only a way to create a cohesive brand and experience for your customers, but also to grab the attention of potential customers. So, make sure your artwork can be seen and easily recognised from a far.
  2. Include your website or social media info. This not only makes you look more professional, but allows customers and potential customers to connect with you straight away, from anywhere.
  3. If you’re uploading an image, make sure that it’s at least 300 dpi, to ensure the best quality print.

The best size or shape is completely dependent on its purpose. Gift shops may use small or long, thin paper gift bags. Clothing retailers may prefer square kraft paper bags. As for materials, kraft paper is a great industry choice. It’s a naturally brown paper bag with excellent tear resistance, making it sturdy and durable. 

Storing your kraft paper bags correctly can help maintain their quality and prevent damage. The best ways to ensure this are to:

  1. Keep them somewhere dry and cool, away from humidity and damp.
  2. Make sure they’re not exposed to prolonged, direct sunlight. This can fade the colour of printed kraft paper bags and weaken the fibres.
  3. Stack them neatly to avoid wear and tear from moving them around.
  4. Avoid storing heavy items in your kraft paper bags for an extended period of time. This can cause them to tear or lose their shape.

All of our kraft paper bags are recyclable and many options are also FSC® certified.
