About these bags

Most shops end up running two bags: a twisted-handle kraft bag for everyday sales, and something heavier for the premium line. The everyday bag is judged on price per unit and on whether the handle holds; the premium bag is judged on how it feels in the hand.

Size matters more than most buyers expect. A bag that is slightly too big looks wrong on a counter and costs more to print, and one that is too small tears at the seam. Send the dimensions of what you sell and we will spec the bag around it.

Frequently asked questions

+ What is the most popular retail bag?
A twisted-handle kraft bag. It is the cheapest per unit at volume and strong enough for most purchases.
+ Can I order two sizes on one job?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper than two separate jobs. Send both sizes with the inquiry.
+ What is the minimum order?
Minimum order depends on the bag style and size. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will tell you if it runs.
+ How long does an order take?
Lead time depends on the run and the finish, counted from the day you approve the proof.
+ What artwork do you need?
Vector is best: .cdr, .eps or a print-ready PDF in CMYK. A logo file or a sketch is enough to start.
