Why Businesses Choose Strong Kraft Paper Bags
Engineered for Heavy Loads
Our reinforced kraft paper bags are designed for weights from 10 kg to 50 kg, depending on GSM, layers, and construction. Whether you're packaging rice, flour, nuts, or takeaway meals, these tear-resistant kraft bags won’t buckle under pressure.
Sustainable & Brand-Friendly
Made from FSC-certified paper, these extra thick paper bags for packaging are both biodegradable and recyclable, meeting the growing demand for green alternatives to plastic sacks.
When paired with custom branding, businesses reinforce a premium and eco-conscious image.
Optimized for Logistics
Strong kraft bags are lightweight, stackable, and available in flat, block, or square bottoms. For B2B logistics, this means fewer damaged shipments, lower freight costs, and easier warehouse handling.
Understanding Paper Strength: GSM, Thickness & Durability
GSM & Thickness Levels
- 70–80 GSM: Entry level, suitable for light dry goods or branded giveaways.
- 100–120 GSM: Perfect for dry food, retail, and moderate loads.
- 150–180 GSM: Extra thick paper bags built for industrial use and maximum protection.
These durable paper bags for groceries are often used by supermarkets to carry heavy produce or packaged foods with minimal risk of tearing.
Tear-Resistant Technologies
- Multi-ply kraft layers increase tear resistance and tensile strength.
- PE or laminated linings add moisture protection.
- Wet-strength kraft paper bags hold up in damp or humid conditions.
Bag Designs That Match Application
Bottom Construction Types:
- Flat Bottom: Stable for light goods and shelf display.
- Block Bottom: Expands volume and improves stacking for heavier loads.
- Square Bottom: Retail-friendly, easy to fill, stands upright.
- Valve-Style: Used in agricultural and powdered product packaging.
