The same three routes the business has always offered. Pick the one that fits the job.
Your size, your stock, your artwork, printed from scratch. The most control and the option most customers choose for a main line.
Your logo printed onto a stock bag shape we already hold dies for. Fewer choices, quicker turnaround.
Unprinted bags in bulk, for stores that want the stock without the branding or need a filler alongside a printed run.
Paper bags are measured width × gusset × height, in inches. Width is the front of the bag, gusset is the depth at the side, and height runs from the base to just below the handles. Every quote we give uses that order.
The charts below are the sizes our dies already exist for, so they are the quickest and usually the cheapest way to order. If none of them fits, the die is built for your size instead: a bag that fits the product looks better on a counter and costs less to print than an oversized one.
To work out your size, measure the product, add a little for the hand going in, and tell us the weight. If several items go in one bag, say how many. We will come back with a size and a paper weight that carries it.
Unbleached kraft with a natural finish, printed with your logo and made to your dimensions.

Faster than a form if you already know the bag, the size and the quantity.
The form takes about a minute. If you would rather talk it through, call or email. Either reaches the same team.
Answer three quick questions about what you pack, how heavy it is and whether the bag has to stand open, and we will recommend the stock and the handle.
