Our printed paper bags are available in a range of sizes depending on the handle style. A few sizes differ between Brown Kraft and White Kraft.
Flat Handle Bags
Twisted Handle Bags
Handleless Bags (Brown Kraft only)
All measurements are shown as Height × Width × Depth. For handled bags, the stated height excludes the handle.
The best handle style depends on what you're packaging and how customers will use the bag.
All three styles are made from recyclable Kraft paper and can be personalised with your branding.
White Kraft provides a clean, bright background that helps colourful logos, graphics and detailed artwork stand out.
Brown Kraft has a natural, rustic appearance, making it a popular choice for businesses looking for a more traditional packaging style. Colours can appear softer against the brown material, and white ink cannot be printed.
White Kraft is available with flat and twisted handles, while Brown Kraft is available across all three bag styles.
Once you've selected your paper bags and added them to your basket, you can upload your completed design using instantprint's artwork uploader.
The available print area varies depending on your chosen bag size, so make sure your logo, text and important design elements fit within the designated space.
