Wholesale Paper Shopping Bags

Hardware bags suit small, dense or irregular purchases that need a heavier paper option. Grocery bags expand at the sides and cover a broad range of numbered sizes. Merchandise bags are efficient for flatter, lighter items such as cards, small textiles and printed material. Handled shopping bags support a more presentation-focused handoff and include narrow wine formats as well as broader retail sizes.

These constructions are not interchangeable. A flat merchandise bag has no standing base, while a handled bag is designed to stand more readily during packing. Match the exact bag to the intended contents and test it at the heaviest normal pack.

For gusseted bags, read the three dimensions in the order shown and allow enough opening clearance for loading. For flat merchandise bags, compare the usable face dimensions with the item. Case quantities vary widely across the families, from hundreds of handled bags to thousands of selected merchandise bags, so use the exact product quantity for forecasting.

Paper bags are presentation and carry packaging, not moisture barriers or parcel shippers. Avoid wet, leaking or sharp contents unless the complete package has been evaluated for them. Do not infer food-contact suitability, recycled content or a carrying capacity from color or basis weight. Confirm any required claim or performance characteristic on the selected product.
