Custom Printed Kraft Paper Shopping Bag — Natural, Recyclable, and Brand-Ready

Kraft paper shopping bags are the retail industry’s most enduring carrier format — and with good reason. The natural brown substrate signals sustainability, the twisted paper handles feel substantial in the hand, and the printable surface area turns every customer who walks out of your store into a branded ambassador. Our custom printed kraft bags are produced from 120–150 gsm virgin or recycled kraft board with full-colour or spot-colour printing and finished to your specification.

Product Specifications

Materials Available

Standard unbleached natural kraft (120 gsm), white-top kraft for brighter print reproduction, bleached white kraft for clean minimal aesthetics, FSC-certified recycled kraft board, and duplex board with kraft back for added rigidity in larger bag sizes. Base reinforcement with cardboard stiffener is standard for bags over 30 cm tall.

Printing Methods

Flexographic printing delivers sharp single- to four-colour branding on natural kraft at high efficiency and low cost per unit. Offset lithography on white-top kraft produces full-colour CMYK imagery. Screen printing applies precise single-colour brand marks. Digital printing enables short-run seasonal or limited-edition designs without plate costs.

Surface Finishes & Special Effects

• Uncoated Natural Kraft — Zero-finish option maximises recyclability and communicates raw, artisan authenticity.
• Aqueous Gloss Coating — Water-based varnish adds surface sheen and scuff resistance without plastic laminate.
• Matte Lamination — A tactile finish on white-top kraft that elevates boutique and premium brand positioning.
• Spot UV on Logo — High-gloss logo or pattern on a matte or uncoated background for visual distinction.
• Gold Foil Stamping — Brand name or crest in metallic foil — the signature detail of premium retail packaging bags.
• Debossed Brand Mark — Ink-free recessed brand impression on kraft for a zero-chemical premium embellishment.

Interior Insert Options

Tissue paper lining in brand colours, crinkle-cut paper void fill, custom printed inner liner for product protection, and cardboard base stiffener inserts for structural support of heavier purchases.
