Three kinds of bag, each drawn to your order.

Pick the build by what the bag has to do. We size it to what goes in it.

How it is made

One sheet, a seam, and a folded bottom.

This is a gusseted bag before it is formed. The sheet wraps into a tube and closes along one side seam. The bottom folds into a flat block, so the bag stands up on its own.

  • The side gussets fold in, so bags pack flat and open square.
  • The folded bottom takes the weight of a meal without a tray under it.
  • On carrier bags, handle patches strengthen the top edge where the twisted handles are fixed.
  • A flat bag skips the gussets: two faces and a sealed bottom.
What goes in it

The board

What the bag is made of.

Kraft paper, with a liner on the bags that carry hot or oily food.

Kraft paper

Brown kraft, printed or plain.

Grease-resistant liner

On bags for hot or oily food, so the grease stays inside the bag.

Twisted handles

On carrier bags, fixed inside the top edge behind a handle patch.

Flat or gusseted

Flat for thin items, gusseted with a square bottom for anything that has to stand.

Sealed bottom

The bottom is folded and sealed, so nothing slips out underneath.

Made to size

Drawn to what goes in the bag, from one pastry to a full delivery order.

Printing

Plain, one colour, or up to four.

Printed on the paper before the bag is formed, so your artwork sits in the same place on every bag.

Unprinted

Plain kraft. Stamp it, sticker it, or leave it as it is.

YOUR LOGO

One or two colours

Your logo on the front face. The most common choice.

FULL ART

Up to four colours

Flexo print on the kraft face for fuller artwork. Colour on unbleached kraft varies a little from run to run.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Something not covered here? Ask in the form below and we answer within one working day.

Which bag do I need for delivery?

A gusseted bag with a square bottom stands open while you pack and keeps boxes level on the ride. Add twisted handles if the order is carried by hand. We suggest a size once we know what goes in it.

Will grease come through the paper?

Bags for hot or oily food have a grease-resistant liner on the inside. Tell us what goes in the bag and we build it for that.

Can the bag be sized to my boxes?

Yes. Send the sizes of the boxes and cups that go in together, and we draw the bag around them.

Can I get a sample before I order?

Yes. A sample takes five working days. Sampling fees are credited against your first production order of the same product.

How long does production take?

12 to 15 working days after you approve the proof, then 1 to 5 business days on the road. The minimum is 2,000 per size.

What if an order arrives damaged?

Count pallets and note any damage on the delivery receipt before you sign. Send photos through the enquiry form within 48 hours and we reship or refund the damaged goods.

Do you ship outside the US?

Yes, on request. Duties, import taxes and brokerage are paid by the receiver.
