Paper bags

Paper bags – versatile packaging made from paper

Paper bags are a sustainable and versatile packaging solution for a wide range of applications. They are usually made from single-layer or multi-layer paper and, depending on the design, are available uncoated, coated, printed, or unprinted. As an alternative to plastic packaging, paper bags are particularly popular in environmentally conscious packaging concepts. They are suitable for storing, protecting, or decoratively presenting a wide variety of contents. Material and environmental aspects: Paper bags are usually made from kraft paper, recycled paper, or natron paper. These materials are either fully recyclable or biodegradable. FSC®-certified paper from responsible forestry can be used in production. Uncoated versions are particularly resource-efficient and can be easily recycled.

Sizes and designs:
Paper bags are available in numerous sizes – from small formats for jewelry or small items to larger bags for food, clothing, or gift items. Depending on your needs, there are versions with bottom gussets, side gussets, or cross gussets. These provide increased filling volume and greater stability. Versions with windows, viewing strips, or drawstring closures are also available.

Colors and design:
The color spectrum ranges from classic brown and white to muted natural tones and colorfully printed designs. Many models can be customized or printed with logos, lettering, or seasonal motifs. This makes paper bags not only functional but also effective advertising solutions.

Uses:
Paper bags are suitable for a wide range of applications: in retail as shopping bags, as gift packaging in the decorative sector, for products at markets or trade fairs, in the office for storing documents or in the creative sector for craft and DIY projects. Food-safe versions are also available for use with food (e.g., for bread, tea, or spices).
