With the development of the times, people have become more and more aware of the harm caused by plastic bags to the earth and wild animals, and gradually began to use environmentally friendly paper bags.

But even if legislation forces the abandonment of single-use plastics, choosing to use paper can have other benefits.

We explore six questions to ask when considering moving to paper:

1. Is paper bag food safe?

With health and hygiene more important than ever, you should ensure that all packaged products are food-safe, including bags used to hold or transport food. Ask suppliers if their paper bags are manufactured in a food-grade environment.

Compliant with high quality standards, our paper bags are available in hygienic and food contact safe options to suit a variety of needs.

2. Does the strength of the bag meet your needs?

Paper bags are stronger than you can handle, and when made from high-quality, sustainable raw materials, paper bags are often stronger than plastic bags. Make sure you have asked your supplier about the strength profile of the bag you are considering, or even tested it yourself!

Our paper bags are strong enough to meet a variety of needs. We use high-quality, standard-compliant kraft paper to manufacture our bags, and our largest bags can hold up to 15kg.

3. Can paper bags be put in the refrigerator?

Not all paper bags are created equal, and the material is not traditionally suitable for cold or wet environments. If you're looking to use paper bags for your refrigerated goods, make sure they won't disappoint your customers.

Our premium paper bags are suitable for use in refrigerated environments such as refrigerators and can handle condensation of the contents without compromising performance.
