Custom paper bags for general printed carry-out

Custom paper bags are printed paper carry-out bags in the most general sense — brown or white, handle or no handle. Use this SKU when you want a paper bag and have not specified grocery, bakery, or SOS. Specialty bags exist for those jobs.

When a simple paper bag is enough

Not every counter needs a grocery sack or a donut bag. A printed paper bag with your mark is enough for mixed retail and cafe carry. If 80 percent of bags are fries, order fry bags instead.

Greasy food still needs a wrap inside. Barrier pouches are a different construction.

Bag styles

Simple paper carry. Handles optional. Quote SOS, grocery, or white as those SKUs if that is really the bag you want.

Sizes

Send the item or ticket. We will point you to a specialty SKU if the size says grocery or pastry.

Colours

Brown or white on the quote. Kraft bags are the clearer name if you already know you want brown takeout.

Printing

Face print. Digital proof before print.

Matching packaging

Kraft bags for brown takeout. White paper bags for bright colour. SOS bags for a standing square base.

Food-contact

Yes when we specify it. Tell us if food goes in unwrapped.

Common questions

What are custom paper bags?

Printed paper carry-out bags without a specialty (grocery, SOS, bakery). If you already know the specialty, order that SKU instead.

Paper bags or kraft bags?

Kraft bags are brown kraft. Paper bags can be quoted brown or white. If you want the brown takeout look, kraft is the clearer name.

Can they be food-contact?

Yes when we specify it. Tell us if food goes in unwrapped.

Handles?

Optional. Grocery-scale handles belong on grocery bags. Short takeout handles we quote here or on takeout bags.

Can I print my logo?

Yes. Digital proof before print.
