Custom paper bags are walking billboards — branded kraft and white shopping and takeout bags that carry your logo out the door and around town. Sturdy, recyclable, and increasingly expected as US cities phase out plastic, they're essential for retail, boutiques, restaurants, and events. We print full-color in Cheshire, Connecticut, on durable kraft and white stock with twisted-rope or flat handles, in sizes from small gift bags to large shoppers. Low minimums, eco-friendly stock, free design support, and free contiguous-US shipping.
For US retailers, boutiques, restaurants, and event organizers that want durable, recyclable branded bags that double as advertising.
About Custom Paper Bags
The shopping bag as a walking billboard
A printed paper bag is part packaging, part advertising: customers carry it out of the store and down the street, putting your brand in public view. It has to look good, hold the load, and feel sturdy in the hand. From boutique retail to food take-out, the bag is the last brand touch of a purchase. We print paper bags in the USA, from low minimums with no setup or die charges.
Handles, stock, and finish
- Twisted paper-rope handles for a premium retail look, flat paper handles, or die-cut handles by load and style.
- White or natural kraft stock with reinforced bases and folded tops.
- Full-color or one-color print with free Pantone matching, plus matte lamination and foil for boutique tiers.
Where it fits
Retail and boutiques, food take-out, events, and gifting. Pairs with handle boxes for a coordinated carry program and retail boxes on the shelf.

Why US brands choose us for custom paper bags
Custom Box Printing manufactures custom paper bags from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom paper bags for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every custom paper bags order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Paper bags run on recyclable kraft (natural or white) in weights matched to load — lighter for boutiques and gifts, heavier (and double-bottom) for groceries and takeout. Handles come as twisted paper rope, flat paper, or die-cut, chosen by weight and look. Print options range from a one-color logo (most economical) to full-color CMYK with matte/gloss lamination for premium retail. Reinforced bottoms and gussets are sized to your products.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
