Paper Shopping Bags

Paper Shopping Bags

One of the most trusted staples in the packaging industry is the eco-friendly paper shopping bag. These durable, reusable, and recyclable bags have become a popular choice for businesses of all sizes. As more retailers adapt to local and state bag ordinances, paper shopping bags with handles continue to grow in demand. Not only are they an environmentally conscious option, but they also provide an attractive upgrade from plastic bags.

At American Retail Supply, we carry a wide selection of paper shoppers in multiple sizes, colors, and stock patterns, making it easy for you to find the perfect fit for your business. Our recycled collection includes both brown kraft and white kraft shoppers, available in 100% recycled material or in an economical version made with at least 40% recycled content. These are some of the most popular paper bags on the market thanks to their durability, low cost, and clean, simple appearance. They’re ideal for apparel shops, bookstores, pet stores, and more.

For a more elevated option, consider our J-Cut Paper Shopping Bags. These bags feature a smooth folded-over top paired with sturdy woven handles, offering both durability and a stylish finish. They’re a great choice for retailers who want packaging that feels upscale while still being eco-friendly. The J-Cut design ensures a sleek presentation while providing strength for heavier items, making them perfect for gift shops, clothing boutiques, and specialty stores that want their packaging to stand out.

Beyond kraft shoppers, we also offer a wide range of solid color shoppers and shadow striped designs to help businesses add personality to their packaging. For western-oriented retailers, our themed paper shoppers feature prints with horses, cowboys, and equine-inspired patterns that bring a rustic charm to your packaging.

Sizing Your Paper Shoppers

Choosing the right bag size is simple. Measurements are always listed in three dimensions and in this order: Width” x Depth” x Height”

• Width – the bag opening, measured side to side
• Depth – the gusset, which is also the bottom measurement
• Height – the vertical length of the bag

All of our paper shoppers are designed to stand flat on their bottom when opened, making loading products fast and convenient.

Custom Printing for Paper Shoppers

Customizing Paper Shoppers is easy and a great value for your marketing efforts. We offer custom printing by the case, as well as millrun printing (where the paper is printed before being converted into a bag). Another great way to increase the beauty of your paper shoppers is with the addition of tissue paper. We offer customized options for this as well.
