How to Specify Custom Paper Shopping Bags
Paper shopping bags are specified around paper grade, finished size, handle construction, print coverage and the weight they must carry. Kraft paper is the practical choice for natural-looking retail packaging and simpler print. Coated art paper gives a smoother surface for photographic colour, lamination, foil and embossed finishes used by fashion, beauty and gifting brands.
Paper, Handles and Finishing
Common starting points are approximately 120–180 gsm kraft for everyday retail bags and heavier coated paper for premium rigid-feel carriers. Twisted-paper and flat-paper handles keep the bag recyclable and cost controlled. Cotton rope or ribbon handles create a premium presentation but change the hole reinforcement, packing method and unit price. Matte or gloss lamination improves surface protection; hot foil, spot effects and embossing should be agreed against final artwork before sampling.
