Question 1

What is a custom retail shopping bag?

Accepted Answer

A custom retail shopping bag is a premium paper bag with handles, printed in full color with your brand. Brands use them as retail carrier bags, gift bags, and boutique bags, since the bag is the last brand touchpoint a customer carries home. Ours come with rope handles and full-coverage printing.

Question 2

What's the difference between the 150gsm Premium and 250gsm Luxury paper bag?

Accepted Answer

The number is the paper weight: 150gsm is lighter, 250gsm is thicker and more structured. The real decision is about product weight and brand positioning. The 150gsm Premium bag suits everyday retail and lighter goods, such as apparel, accessories, soft goods, and high-volume event or promotional bags, where a clean branded bag at a lower unit cost matters most. The 250gsm Luxury bag holds its shape on its own and feels substantial in the hand, which makes it the right choice for jewelry, beauty, premium gifting, and heavier items like candles or glass bottles, where the bag itself signals quality and reinforces a high-end store experience.

Question 3

What sizes do custom paper shopping bags come in?

Accepted Answer

You can choose a standard size from the menu, such as 7.5 x 3.1 x 8.3 inches (width x depth x height). The range covers small boutique items up to larger retail purchases.

Question 4

Matte or gloss: what lamination can I add to a paper bag?

Accepted Answer

Both. Matte lamination gives a smooth, low-glare surface, and Gloss gives a shiny, vibrant one. Lamination is a thin film over the print that sets the feel and protects the artwork on the bag.

Question 5

What's the minimum order for custom shopping bags?

Accepted Answer

100 bags. That's low enough for a first launch or market test, with wholesale and bulk pricing as you scale. The unit cost drops at each quantity tier as you configure your order.

Question 6

How much do custom shopping bags cost?

Accepted Answer

Price depends on bag type (150gsm or 250gsm), paper (white or kraft), size, quantity, lamination, finishing effects, and shipping. Larger quantities lower the unit cost, while lamination and finishes add to it. The 3D quote tool updates your landed price live as you configure, so there are no surprises.

Question 7

How long do custom shopping bags take to make and ship?

Accepted Answer

Production takes 7 to 12 business days after proof approval. Shipping then depends on your tier: Express is fastest at about a week, with Priority, Standard, and Economy at lower cost and longer transit. Exact timelines show as you configure your order.

Question 8

Are custom shopping bags food-safe?

Accepted Answer

They're retail carrier bags for packaged products, not for direct food contact. If your product touches the packaging directly, use our flexible packaging (pouches) to hold the food, then a shopping bag to carry it.
