How to choose a paper shopping bag

Sizes read width x gusset x height. The gusset is the depth of the folded side panel, and it sets how thick an item the bag takes. Measure the item after it is folded, boxed or wrapped, then pick a bag that is wider and deeper than it.

Paper weight is listed as basis weight, and a higher number means heavier paper. The handled kraft bags here are 60, 65 or 70 lb. The white handled bags are 60 or 65 lb.

Most of the handled sizes have twisted paper handles. The 12 x 7 x 14 and 12 x 7 x 17 in grocery and takeout sizes use 70 lb kraft with flat paper handles, 300 to a case.

White bags cost more per bag than kraft in every size stocked in both colors. Tinted shopping bags come in eight colors: black, green, navy, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow. They come in seven sizes from 5 1/2 x 3 1/4 x 8 3/8 in to 18 x 7 x 18 3/4 in, and the 16 x 6 x 12 size has no black. They sell by the case and are in the product grid above.

Flat or gusseted merchandise bags

Merchandise bags are paper sleeves without handles for counter sales, pharmacy orders and lightweight items. Gusseted bags add a side gusset of 2 to 7 1/2 in for folded apparel and thicker items. The white merchandise bags and all gusseted bags are 30 lb recycled paper with serrated ends for easy opening.

Buying by the case and by the pallet

Each table row adds one case to your cart, or one pack in the packs table. The price per bag is the case price divided by the bag count.

Volume pricing applies in the cart without a code: 3% off when the cart holds 3 or more items and 5% off at 6 or more. Cases of different sizes count toward the same total.

Orders of one or two items with a product subtotal of $500 or more ship free when the checkout freight rate is $120 or less. Orders of one or two items get free ground shipping in the US at $99 or more when the checkout shipping charge is $29.95 or less. Orders of three or more items get the volume discount instead of free shipping.

For pallet quantities, a mix of sizes or a delivered price to your ZIP code, send a bulk quote request with the sizes and case counts.

What are paper bags with handles called?

What is a standard size for a kraft shopping bag?

Shopping bags come in a run of common sizes, listed as width x gusset x height. The kraft case sizes here run from 5 1/2 x 3 1/4 x 8 3/8 in for gifts and accessories to 18 x 7 x 18 in for large apparel and boxed gifts, with 13 x 7 x 17 and 16 x 6 x 12 in the middle.

What does basis weight mean on a paper bag?

It is the weight in pounds of 500 sheets of the paper at its basic size, which is 24 x 36 in for packaging papers. A 70 lb bag is made from heavier paper than a 60 lb bag. The white and gusseted merchandise bags here are 30 lb.
