Sourced from renewable or recyclable resources, each material offers a balance of strength, printability, and environmental responsibility. From oil-resistant options to premium finishes, these materials are designed to meet modern packaging demands without compromising on quality or eco-values.
- Kraft Paper
Kraft paper is the most commonly used material for takeaway paper bags. It has high tensile strength and tear resistance, making it suitable for carrying boxed meals, containers, and drinks. Available in natural brown or white, kraft paper supports custom printing and gives a clean or rustic brand look. It is fully recyclable and compostable. - Food Grade White Paper
Food-grade white paper is safe for direct food contact and widely used for packaging bread, snacks, sandwiches, and pastries. It offers a smooth surface for clean printing and is often treated to be moisture or grease resistant. This material complies with international food safety standards and is suitable for bakery and deli applications. - Greaseproof Paper

The paper keeps food fresh while preventing leakage or stains. It is also lightweight and recyclable, offering a hygienic and convenient solution for fast food service.
- Glassine Paper
Glassine paper is a smooth, translucent paper that is resistant to air, moisture, and grease. It is often used for wrapping dry foods, chocolates, or baked items, either as the main bag or as an inner lining. Its sleek appearance and protective qualities make it ideal for premium food packaging. - Coated Art Paper
Coated art paper is used for high-end gift and retail bags. It has a smooth surface that enhances printing quality and color brightness. This material is commonly used in branded shopping bags and promotional gift packaging where presentation is key. It offers a more refined texture and professional finish. - Laminated Kraft Paper

The surface can be glossy or matte, providing a premium appearance while maintaining eco-friendly qualities. This type of paper is perfect for boutique bags, luxury gifts, and seasonal packaging.

Recyclable Materials
Most of our paper bags are made from kraft or recycled paper, making them easy to recycle after use and reducing landfill waste.
Biodegradable and Compostable

Choosing the Right Size Paper Bag
Choosing the right size paper bag makes a big difference in how your product is packaged and presented. It keeps items protected, reduces waste, and makes things easier for both staff and customers. Whether you're packing hot food, fresh pastries, or boutique items, the bag should match the contents. If it's too small, it might tear or squash the product. If it’s too big, it can look sloppy or be hard to carry. For food, make sure containers sit flat and snug. For gifts, leave a little room for tissue or wrapping.
