How Handled Bags Enhance Customer Experience+

Paper shopping bags with handles transform a simple transaction into a branded experience. Customers appreciate the convenience of easy-carry handles, especially when making multiple purchases or walking to their car. The natural kraft appearance signals environmental responsibility, appealing to eco-conscious shoppers who actively avoid plastic bags.

The gusseted base allows bags to stand upright on counters during packing and in customers' homes when unpacking. This practical feature makes the bag more useful and extends its life as customers often reuse quality paper bags for storage or secondary purposes.

Brown kraft paper also provides an excellent base for custom printing or stickers. Many retailers add their logo via stamp, sticker or custom print to create branded packaging that reinforces their identity with every sale.

Flat Handles vs Twisted Handles+

Flat paper handles provide a sleek, modern appearance suited to boutiques and upmarket retail. They fold flat when the bag is stored, making them space-efficient. Twisted paper handles offer a more casual, artisan look with excellent strength for heavier items. The twisted construction distributes weight across more fibres, making them ideal for takeaway food and larger retail purchases. Choose based on your brand aesthetic and typical load requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can these bags hold?+

Weight capacity varies by bag size and handle type. Twisted handle bags generally support heavier loads than flat handle bags. Small bags suit items up to 2-3kg, while large bags can handle 5-7kg when properly packed. Distribute weight evenly and avoid sharp objects that could puncture the paper.

Can I use these for hot takeaway food?+

Yes. These bags are suitable for hot takeaway food when items are in appropriate containers. The kraft paper handles warmth well for short-term transport. For very hot or greasy items, ensure food is properly containerised to prevent grease penetration or moisture damage to the bag.

Can these bags be custom printed?+

These bags are supplied unprinted. Many retailers add branding via stamps, stickers or labels. For custom printed bags with your logo, contact Zeropac to discuss minimum order quantities and lead times for branded options.

Are these bags waterproof?+

No. These are paper bags and will weaken when wet. They are designed for dry goods and containerised food items. For outdoor events or rainy conditions, consider providing customers with an additional protective layer or choose plastic bag alternatives.

Which size should I choose for wine bottles?+

Use the Single Bottle bag (385 x 165 x 150mm) for one standard wine bottle. The Double Bottle bag (385 x 115 x 110mm) fits two bottles side by side. Both sizes have reinforced bases to support bottle weight.
