Paper bags
The workhorse of retail and e-commerce. Three constructions, one decision that matters most: the paper. Specify it precisely and you can compare every bid line by line.
01
Constructions
Flat handle
Flat paper strip glued on the inside. Lighter and cheaper to make; the usual choice for takeaway, grocery and high volumes.
SOS / no handle
Self-opening square bottom that stands on its own. Bakeries, pharmacies, takeaway and dry food.
