FAQs

What are blue paper bags used for?

They’re ideal for boutiques, gift shops, cafés and events. Common uses include clothing, gifts, cosmetics, deli/boxed takeaway and party favours.

What sizes do the blue paper bags come in?

We stock multiple sizes with internal measurements shown in the size selector (L × W × D). Pick the smallest size that fits to avoid waste and keep costs down.

How strong are the blue paper bags?

Made from premium kraft (typically 100 gsm) with reinforced twisted handles, they’re designed for daily retail use. Packed sensibly, they handle books, clothing and gift sets with ease.

Are the handles sturdy and comfortable to carry?

Yes. Twisted paper handles are reinforced on the inside for strength and comfort. They’re reliable for everyday shop use.

Do the blue paper bags stand up while packing?

Yes. The flat block-bottom design helps the bag stand upright on the counter so you can load items quickly.

Are blue paper bags recyclable and biodegradable?

Yes—when clean and dry, they can go in most UK paper/card recycling streams. The paper is biodegradable. If heavily soiled with food or oil, check local guidance.

Are the dyes on blue paper bags eco-friendly?

Bags use water-based inks/dyes that are widely accepted in UK paper recycling when the bag is clean and dry.

Are blue paper bags food safe?

They’re fine for boxed or wrapped food. For oily or greasy items, use a greaseproof liner or inner wrap.

Can I brand or customise the blue paper bags?

Yes—add stickers or stamp a logo for low-cost branding. For custom printing or larger runs, contact us for trade pricing and lead times.

What pack sizes are available?

Small event packs through to 100+ trade packs are available. Choose the pack size that matches your usage to get the best unit cost.

Do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing on blue bags?

Yes. We supply bulk and repeat orders for retailers and events. Ask for a trade quote for 200–10,000+ units.

Blue vs brown or white paper bags — what’s the difference?

Spec is similar. Blue gives a stronger visual brand. Brown has a natural look; white suits premium gifting. Choose by look and budget—strength and recyclability are comparable.

What weight can a bag carry?

As a guide, up to around 6–8 kg depending on bag size, product shape and how items are packed. Avoid sharp corners or overfilling.

Any tips to avoid rips or returns?

Don’t overfill, pad sharp corners, and spread weight evenly. Keep bags dry and store them flat to protect the base and handles.

How fast is delivery for blue paper bags?

Orders placed before the daily cut-off dispatch the same working day on our standard UK services. Express options are available at checkout.

I’ve ordered kraft shopping bags before but these were by far the best. Smooth surface and no weird smell.
