What Are Paper Bags Without Handles
Paper bags without handles are simple containers made from paperboard or kraft paper, designed without built-in carrying straps. They rely on their structure for stability and are commonly used for packaging, retail, food service, and shipping.
Common Types and Materials
Standard options include flat-bottom bags, gusseted bags, and block-bottom bags, often made from kraft, white cardboard, or recycled fiber. Thickness is measured in grams per square meter, with higher values indicating greater durability.
Typical Uses and Cost Factors
These bags are used for small retail items, bakery goods, and lightweight shipping. Price depends on size, material weight, printing, and order volume. Bulk orders usually lower per-unit cost.
Environmental and Sourcing Considerations
Paper bags without handles can be recyclable or compostable, depending on coatings and inks. For guidance on fiber sourcing and certifications, see the Forest Stewardship Council at https://www.fsc.org.
