Custom paper grocery bags for market and grocery carry

Custom paper grocery bags are large handled kraft bags for market and grocery carry-out — taller and stronger than a small takeout bag. They carry several items. They are not sandwich bags and not bakery pastry bags.

Why grocers print the sack

A grocery bag is walking advertising on the street. Handles, a square base that stands on the counter, and a face large enough for a store mark are the spec — not a pastry cut.

Bottles and jars need a heavier basis weight. Wet produce still needs its own pack inside. The bag is carry, not a grease wrap.

Bag styles

Handled sacks that stand open. Not SOS without long handles unless you ask. Not a single-burger bag.

Sizes

Sized to several items. Send the typical load. A cafe takeout bag will not replace this sack.

Colours

Brown kraft is the grocery look. White grocery sacks are a separate quote if you need bright colour.

Printing

Face print is standard. Both-sides or full wrap is a different quote. Dark inks read on kraft.

Matching packaging

Kraft bags for smaller restaurant takeout. SOS bags when you need a self-opening square without long handles. White paper bags for a bright cafe carry.

Food-contact

They carry packed groceries. If unwrapped food sits in the bag, say so on the quote.

Common questions

What are custom paper grocery bags?

Large handled paper sacks for grocery and market carry-out. Printed with your store mark. Not a food wrap sheet.

How is this different from a kraft takeout bag?

Grocery bags are bigger and usually have handles for several items. Kraft takeout bags are for a single restaurant order.

Can they hold bottles?

Quote a heavier basis weight if you pack bottles or jars. Tell us the load.

Can I print both sides?

Face print is standard. Full wrap print is a different quote. Proof before press.

Are they food-contact?

They carry packed groceries. If unwrapped food sits in the bag, say so on the quote.
