Grocery Paper Bags.

Grocery bags are sized in fractions of a barrel, and the 1/6 barrel is the standard checkout sack at 12 × 7 × 17 in. The smaller 1/8 barrel measures 10 × 6.25 × 14 in and suits lighter baskets or smaller stores.

The trade still orders by these fractions, so quoting 1/6 or 1/8 tells us exactly which bag you mean. Custom sizes are available if your baggers need something in between.

57lb kraft handles an ordinary mixed load, and 70lb is the heavy-duty tier for stores that bag glass, cans and milk together. Grocery paper is specified in basis pounds, a measure of the sheet's weight, rather than by thickness.

We use high-virgin kraft for tear resistance, blended with recycled content where local rules require it. If your bags go out full of chilled items, a wet-strength option helps the paper resist condensation.

The pasted square base is the load floor, and it's what carries a gallon of milk and a few cans without splitting. The gussets let the bag open to its full square capacity, then fold flat again for the rack.

Most grocery bag failures start at a weak base seam, or a side seam that lets go under a sharp corner. A well-pasted base spreads the weight across the whole floor instead of the seam line.

Yes, but only with a reinforced wall where the handle is fixed. On an overloaded sack a handle acts as a lever and tears out through plain kraft.

We build handled variants with a reinforcing patch inside the top, using flat or twisted paper handles. Many stores keep both, with unhandled 1/6 sacks for full carts and handled bags for walk-in shoppers.

Flexo prints large billboard-style graphics across the face, and a one-colour chain mark is the high-volume standard. The sack is carried out through the parking lot and often reused at home, so it keeps working as advertising.

Many jurisdictions also require a compliance block showing recycled content and certain marks. We plan that into the layout so it sits cleanly beside your brand, and unprinted utility bags are an option if you need neither.

They're built to snap open with one flick, because a bagger in a busy lane opens hundreds an hour. The bags stack flat in the rack so the next one peels off cleanly.

A bag that sticks or tears at the opening slows the whole queue. Snap-open construction is part of our standard grocery build, and we check it on the sample before a store commits.

You can order printed grocery sacks from 500. That lets an independent market try a printed bag before committing to a full year's supply.

Supermarket programs run up to 100,000 per order. Our team sets up the artwork and compliance block on the dieline without charge.

We need 7 to 10 business days to produce a grocery bag order once the proof is approved. Rush jobs are turned in 5 to 7 business days.

For a store switching from plastic ahead of a ban date, we'd order a sample first. It takes 5 to 7 business days to arrive, and what you pay for it is deducted from the main order. Delivery covers the whole USA.
