Custom white paper bags are the standard retail packaging for boutique stores, apparel brands, and gift shops that want a clean, branded presentation. Built from 120–170 GSM white kraft or coated art paper, reinforced at the base and handle attachment points, finished with twisted paper, flat ribbon, or rope handles.
White is the smart choice for print. Your brand colors reproduce accurately — which doesn’t happen reliably on darker stock.
They work well for apparel, cosmetics, candles, and specialty retail. Not the right fit for heavy industrial goods or anything needing a waterproof lining.
White paper bags carry products cleanly through transit and deliver them looking intentional on arrival. The 120–170 GSM stock handles moderate load without warping — most apparel items, cosmetics, candles, and accessories fall well inside the weight tolerance. We heat-seal and reinforce handles at the attachment point, which is where most bags fail first. Print on white coated stock is sharp and color-accurate. Matte or gloss lamination adds surface structure and keeps the bag presentable across multiple uses.

Custom sizing is available across all styles — give us your dimensions and we build to spec. Pantone color matching keeps your brand consistent across runs. Logo placement options include front panel, both panels, handle printing, and interior lining. Interior tissue paper inserts and custom spot color liner printing are available on request.
