It may say ‘standard’, however, they’re anything but! They’re lovely bags that come in different sizes and I had my company logo and website printed on mine. Great quality, strong paper and handles, good looking, clean lines and excellent printing. Couldn’t have wanted more!

No more guesswork. We take care of the entire design process, from brainstorming ideas to delivering the files to your account.

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.
