Amazing

Terrible, unusable quality.

Do not buy these!! I was soooo disappointed. The bottom of these bags are bot secure and product falls out the bottom. I was so stunned by the quality of these, that I can’t even believe that they give these out to customers. I have hundreds of these bags that are completely unusable. Not only did I waste all that money, but I also have to find a way to discard hundreds of bags. I tried to secure the bottom with strong tape, which helps a little, but it’s time consuming and looks hideous. It will also add additional costs if I have to do this for every single bag. I reached out to a rep for support and they said they can give me a partial credit for a future order, but I honestly don’t want a future order. What am I going to do with more of these unusable bags? I am just going to find a completely different provider. Even if it ends up being more expensive. This is just not worth it. If I ran my small business the way Vista Print does, I would be out of business. Terrible.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for reviewing your order. We are very sorry to hear that the quality of the paper bags did not meet your expectations. We are also sorry to hear that the offer of a partial merchandise credit will not work for you. We value and appreciate your business, so we can assure you that this is not the experience we want you to have. Please be assured that we will be passing your feedback to the relevant team for review. We recommend that you respond to the email that was sent earlier, so we can look into the matter further for you.

We ordered 200 bags for our first ever awards ceremony as we wanted to provide all attendees with a goody bag. We had created an image for the awards and it was very easy to upload and customise our bags. We were very pleased with the service, speed of delivery and also the quality of the product.

Great quality and fast service

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.
