About Kraft Paper Bags

Available in classic unbleached natural brown kraft or clean bleached white kraft, these bags embody a authentic commitment to sustainability.

Whether customized with twisted paper handles, flat paper tape handles, or produced as flat unhandled sacks, custom kraft paper bags are 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and home compostable. Printed with soy or water-based inks, they turn everyday customer purchases into powerful, eco-friendly branding touchpoints.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Kraft Paper Bags. Can't find the answer you're looking for? Chat with our AI consultant.

Virgin kraft paper is made directly from fresh wood pulp fibers, giving it maximum tensile tear strength and a smoother finish. Recycled kraft paper uses post-consumer paper waste, offering higher sustainability credentials with a rustic, speckled texture while maintaining strong carrying capacity.

Yes! Because unbleached kraft paper is untreated wood pulp printed with non-toxic water-based or soy inks, unlaminated kraft bags break down naturally in home or municipal compost bins within 2 to 6 weeks.

While kraft paper excels with 1 to 4-color vector graphics and typography, white bleached kraft paper is recommended for photographic artwork to ensure true color vibrancy. On brown kraft paper, dark inks produce an organic, vintage aesthetic.

Depending on paper thickness (GSM) and handle type, our standard retail kraft paper bags easily hold 15 to 25 lbs of clothing, groceries, or books.

We offer Twisted Paper Handles (classic, high-durability), Flat Paper Tape Handles (eco-friendly, comfortable), Cotton Rope Handles (luxury, soft feel), or Die-Cut Handles (sleek, flat profile).

Our minimum order quantity for custom kraft paper bags starts at 250 units, with baseline unit pricing starting around $0.35 to $0.88 depending on dimensions, material grade, and print coverage. Unit costs drop significantly at 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 25,000+ units—and every quote includes your requested quantity plus up to three larger volume tiers side by side.
