Can you print in full colour on the paper bags?
Yes, we print your design in full colour using CMYK. The print is positioned in the centre of the bag and doesn’t extend to the edges.

The twisted paper handles are securely glued to the inside of the bag with reinforced patches for extra strength on Medium, Large, and X-Large sizes.
Is double-sided printing available? Can the back have a different design?
At the moment, we offer single-sided printing only. However, double-sided printing is something we're considering for the future.

Are the paper bags food safe?
Our twisted handle paper bags aren’t food-safe certified for direct contact with food. However, they’re perfect for carrying pre-packaged food items or takeaway boxes.
Are the paper bags splash-resistant or waterproof?
Our Kraft paper bags aren’t waterproof or splash-resistant, so we recommend keeping them away from liquids to maintain their strength and appearance.
Are there any colour restrictions when printing on Brown Kraft paper bags?
Yes – we’re unable to print white ink on Brown Kraft. Due to the natural texture and absorbency of the material, it will give artwork a rustic, softened look.
Do the bags arrive assembled?
Yes! All of our paper bags arrive fully assembled — simply take them out of the packaging and they’re ready to use.
What colours are the paper bags available in?
Our paper bags are available in two classic options: White Kraft and Brown Kraft.
