Collection: CUSTOM SHOPPING BAGS

Types of Custom Shopping Bags We Supply

Not every bag fits every business. Here's how to match the right material and style to your brand.

Custom Kraft Paper Shopping Bags

The most popular choice for Canadian cafés, bakeries, and food-to-go businesses. Kraft paper bags have a clean, natural look that aligns with eco-conscious branding — and they perform well for both hot and cold food items.

• Handle options: Twisted rope, flat ribbon, or die-cut
• Sizes: Custom dimensions available from standard takeout to large retail
• Printing: Full-colour CMYK or Pantone colour matching
• Coatings: Uncoated natural, matte, or water-based (plastic-free)
• Best for: Bakeries, coffee shops, farmers' market vendors, deli brands

Custom Non-Woven Reusable Shopping Bags

Canada's single-use plastics regulations, which came into full effect in 2023 under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, have made reusable non-woven bags the practical standard for grocery, retail, and foodservice businesses. Non-woven polypropylene bags are washable, durable, and carry your branding on a large printable surface that customers reuse repeatedly.

• GSM options: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 / 72 GSM (heavier = more durable)
• Printing: Screen printing or full-colour digital
• Best for: Grocery stores, meal prep brands, subscription box businesses, events
• Certifications available: FSC Chain of Custody, food-safe materials

Custom Printed Paper Bags with Handles

For boutique retail, gift shops, and premium food brands where the unboxing moment matters. These structured bags with twisted or ribbon handles give customers a tangible sense of quality the moment they receive their purchase.

• Materials: White cardstock or natural kraft
• Finishes: Matte lamination, gloss coat, or uncoated
• Custom sizing from standard gift bag to large retail format
• Best for: Specialty food retailers, gift shops, seasonal packaging runs
