Paper Bags – Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers on strength, sizes, colours, delivery, printing, recycling and trade orders.Are your paper bags recyclable?

Are your paper bags recyclable?

Most plain brown kraft paper bags and many white kraft bags can go in normal UK paper/card recycling if they are clean and dry. Bags with glitter, lamination or holographic finish may not be accepted everywhere, so please check local council guidance or see Recycle Now.

Are they biodegradable or compostable?

Plain kraft paper is naturally biodegradable and will break down over time. Coloured or coated gift bags can take longer, so we only claim “biodegradable” for our plain kraft range. We avoid blanket “100% biodegradable” claims for every style because some finishes slow the breakdown.

Are the bags food-safe for takeaway and catering?

Our brown kraft paper carrier bags with handles are widely used to carry boxed or wrapped hot food, deli items and bakery goods. For direct contact with oily or wet food, we recommend adding a greaseproof liner inside the bag.

How strong are the twisted handles?

The twisted handles are reinforced with an internal patch and colour-matched to the bag for a clean retail look. The 100 gsm kraft paper is tough and typically carries up to 8 kg in normal boutique / café / street-food use.

What size paper bag should I choose?

X-Small (24×18×8 cm) suits jewellery, skincare minis and party favours. Small (31×24×11 cm) is good for candles, bath sets, folded kidswear and takeaway portions. Medium (41×32×12 cm) fits folded T-shirts, light knitwear, A4 brochures and merch packs. You can also download our size guide (PDF).

Do you stock coloured gift bags and party bags?

Yes. We stock colours like Black, Blue, Brown (Kraft), Cerise, Dark Green, Lime Green, Pink, Purple, Red and White – all with colour-matched twisted handles. See our coloured gift & party bags.

Can I buy wholesale paper bags in bulk?

Yes. We supply wholesale paper bags UK-wide in pack sizes of 20, 50, 100 and 200+. You get bulk discount and a VAT invoice for every business order. Ideal for boutiques, salons, cafés, charity shops, markets and events.

How fast is delivery?

Orders placed before 3 pm (Mon–Fri) are dispatched the same working day from our Manchester warehouse. We ship via DPD Next Day and Royal Mail Tracked 24. UK Mainland orders over £100 qualify for free next-working-day delivery.

Can I click & collect?

Yes. You can collect direct from our warehouse at 10A Locket Street, Manchester, M8 8EE. Opening hours are 9:00–18:00, Monday to Friday. Please call or WhatsApp +44 7450 981838 before you arrive.

Are your bags FSC certified or responsibly sourced?

Our kraft paper bags are made from FSC-certified or responsibly sourced paper from managed forests. This helps support sustainable forestry and makes them a strong eco alternative to plastic carrier bags.
