Paper Bags

Paper Bags for Retail, Food Service, Gifts & Packaging:

Paper bags provide practical packaging for retail stores, cafés, food businesses, gift presentation, events and general business use. This collection covers an extensive range of more than 300 paper bag options, from simple flat brown kraft bags through to handled shopping bags, die-cut checkout bags, coloured gift bags, laminated presentation bags and seasonal designs.

Brown Kraft & Flat Paper Bags:

A substantial part of the range consists of brown kraft paper bags for everyday packaging. Gilmours flat brown paper bags are available in numerous numbered sizes, including compact formats through to larger bags, with bulk packs of 250 or 500 represented. Detpak flat paper bags provide further food-service and general packaging options.

Flat bags are particularly useful when handles are unnecessary, while gusseted designs provide additional depth for bulkier contents.

Paper Carry Bags with Handles:

For retail purchases, gifts and products that need easier carrying, choose from paper bags with twisted paper handles or die-cut handles. The range includes natural brown kraft, white and coloured options in petite, small, medium and larger formats.

Twist-handle kraft bags include different weights and dimensions, with selected styles made from recyclable and biodegradable paper. Die-cut checkout bags provide another practical format where a separate handle is not required.

Gift Bags & Decorative Paper Bags:

Presentation-focused options include laminated matte paper bags, metallic finishes, coloured gift bags and specialist single wine bags. Colours represented across the wider collection include brown kraft, white, black, pink, yellow, orange, gold, emerald and metallic tones.

Seasonal kraft gift bags are also included, with Christmas tree and Merry & Bright designs in mini, small and medium sizes.

Choosing the Right Paper Bag:

Start with what the bag needs to hold. For food service or simple counter packaging, compare flat brown paper bags by width and height. For retail goods, gifts or heavier contents, consider a gusseted paper carry bag with twisted handles. Smaller bags suit items such as jewellery, candles, stationery and beauty products, while larger formats provide more room for clothing, gifts and general merchandise.

Pack quantities vary considerably across the collection, from smaller packs of 10, 20, 25 or 50 through to bulk cartons of 250 or 500, so check both bag dimensions and quantity when selecting the right packaging.
