Kraft paper bags are generally recyclable and are accepted by many recycling programmes. Councils may differ with regard to the recycling services offered so, in case of doubt, we recommend contacting your local council to confirm.

Yes, you can upload your own logo or design when customising your kraft bags. However, please note that blank areas in your design will show the natural colour of the bag (brown or white kraft). We recommend you use a logo, image or design with at least 300 DPI to get the best quality print. As a tip, single-colour designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes.

Our standard kraft paper bags are 0.13 mm thick.

Yes – you can order a sample of 25 standard paper bags with your own design to check the print, paper and size before placing a larger order. After your sample order, we’ll email you a one-time cashback code. The cashback amount matches what you paid for your sample order, excluding VAT. To redeem it, reorder the same product within 1 month in a quantity of at least 250 bags. Cashback is limited to one per customer – if you place more than one sample order, including with different designs, you’ll still only receive cashback once. To make sure you receive your code, please sign in or create an account at checkout and opt in to communications from VistaPrint.
