How to choose paper bags with handles

Which size?
Handles or strung flat bags?
- Carried home or delivered
- Block bottom stands open on the counter
- Takes boxes, tubs and drinks
- Reinforced flat handles
- Single pastries and sandwiches
- Much cheaper per bag
- No handles or base

Rule of thumb: anything with a lid or a drink goes in a handled bag.

What size paper bag with handles do takeaways use?
Start with the medium bag (10 x 8.5 x 4.5 inch). Its gusset is wide enough for meal boxes to sit flat. Move up to the large bag for family orders.
How strong are your paper carrier bags?
They are 80gsm kraft with reinforced flat handles and a flat block bottom. The medium bag carries about 4.5kg (10lb).
Can I put my logo on plain kraft bags?
Yes. The plain brown surface takes a printed sticker or a rubber stamp, which is the cheapest way to brand bags without a custom print run.
Which sizes of brown paper bags with handles do you sell?
Three: small paper bags with handles (9 x 7 x 3.5 inch), medium (10 x 8.5 x 4.5 inch) and large paper bags with handles (12 x 10 x 5.5 inch), all 80gsm brown kraft.
Are paper bags with handles grease resistant?
They are 80gsm kraft, made for carrying boxed food. Keep oily food in a box or container inside the bag rather than loose.
Are these bags recyclable?
Yes. The bags are plain kraft paper with twisted paper handles and contain no plastic, so clean bags go in household paper recycling.
Buying paper bags with handles: a short guide
Packing a takeaway bag properly
Put the heaviest, flattest boxes at the bottom and drinks upright in a corner. Do not overfill: if the handles meet with a gap, the bag is the right size. For delivery, choose the size where boxes lie flat rather than stacked on their edge.
Bulk buying tip
The 250 pack is the cheapest per bag. Takeaways that use one bag per order often buy several packs at once, which takes 5% off.
