FAQs

What are purple paper bags used for?

Perfect for boutiques, gift shops, salons, party favours and events where you want a bold, premium look.

What sizes do the purple paper bags come in?

Multiple sizes are available. Internal measurements (L × W × D) are shown in the size selector—pick the smallest size that fits to reduce waste and cost.

How strong are the purple paper bags?

Made from premium kraft (typically 100 gsm) with reinforced twisted handles. Packed sensibly, they carry clothing, books and gift sets with ease.

Are purple paper bags recyclable and biodegradable?

Yes—when clean and dry they can be recycled with paper/card in most UK collections, and the paper is biodegradable.

Do the dyes affect recycling or stain items?

Bags use water-based inks suitable for UK paper recycling when clean and dry. For very pale textiles, use tissue or an inner wrap as a colour-transfer precaution.

Are the bags food safe?

Fine for boxed or wrapped food. For oily or hot items, add a greaseproof liner or inner wrap.

Can I brand these purple bags?

Yes—add stickers or a stamped logo for quick branding. For custom printing or large runs, ask us for a trade quote.

What pack sizes are available?

Small event packs up to 100+ trade packs. Choose the pack that matches your weekly use for the best unit cost.

How much weight can a bag hold?

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

Any tips to avoid rips or returns?

Pad sharp edges, spread weight, don’t overfill, and keep bags dry. Store flat to protect the base and handles.

How fast is delivery?

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

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

Spec is similar. Purple gives a bold, gift-ready look; brown is natural and rustic; white feels premium and minimalist.

Reusable and Tough

The kraft carriers feel well made and haven’t let me down. I’ve reused a few and they still hold strong.
