Paper bags have been steadily replacing plastic bags for years, and it is easy to see why. They are cost effective, durable, and a far more sustainable choice for businesses of every size. For print resellers, they are an essential product to stock. For small business owners, they are an easy upgrade that instantly makes packaging look more professional. A well designed custom printed paper bag does more than hold purchases. It carries your brand into the hands, streets, and homes of your customers.
Made from 0.13mm thick kraft paper in either kraft brown or crisp white and finished with strong twisted handles, these bags balance style, strength, and sustainability. Whether your customers run a boutique, a café, or a pop up shop, they can rely on these bags to deliver packaging that looks polished, performs well, and is fully recyclable.
One of the greatest strengths of branded paper bags is their versatility. They’re a simple product with a surprisingly wide range of uses, making them an asset for businesses of every size.
Not all paper bags are made the same. Thin paper, weak handles, and poor gluing lead to rips, broken bags, and frustrated customers. Our premium twisted handle bags are built to avoid these problems and deliver consistent quality you can trust.
✔ Strong twisted handles – glued securely inside for durability and comfort.
✔ Sturdy kraft paper – holds up to 6kg without ripping or creasing under pressure.
✔ Available in two classic finishes – kraft brown for a rustic look or white for a modern feel.
✔ Fully recyclable – a sustainable choice your customers will appreciate.
Custom printing transforms every bag into a moving advert. A simple logo creates a clean, classic look, while full colour printing allows businesses to showcase vibrant designs or promotional graphics. You can choose the level of coverage that works best for your project.
A small, letterbox style print is perfect for a subtle look featuring just a logo or company name. A larger print area covers most of the bag’s face for a stronger statement. For clients who want maximum impact, an all over print lets you cover every inch of the bag with colour, patterns, or artwork that customers will remember.
Designer tip: When creating artwork for the all‑over print option, consider adding a small message on the inside lip of the bag. It’s an unexpected detail that can surprise and delight customers, a fun extra touch that makes your packaging feel more thoughtful and memorable.
You do not need to be a designer to create paper bags that look sharp and professional. The Tradeprint Online Designer makes the process straightforward. Upload your logo, add text, experiment with colours, and preview exactly how your bag will look before it is printed.
If you prefer to design in professional software, we also provide downloadable templates with exact print specifications. This allows you to set up artwork in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, or similar tools and ensure accurate colours, sharp graphics, and a cohesive brand identity across all of your print materials.
Custom printed paper bags are one of the most versatile and valuable packaging products for any business. They are cost effective, sustainable, and useful across multiple industries.
