Custom Carry Bags and Kraft Packaging for Brands

What are custom paper carry bags?

Custom paper carry bags are branded bags made from kraft or coated stock, with rope handles. They carry your logo, colours and messaging. Retailers, brands, events, hospitality businesses, jewellery and apparel brands, gifting companies and corporate customers use them.

Size, paper, GSM, handle, printing and finishing are all customisable. See our paper carry bags page for the specification.

What is kraft packaging, and why do brands choose it?

Kraft is natural brown paper with an earthy, textured look. Brands choose kraft when they want a natural or understated appearance rather than glossy full-colour packaging. Kraft is available as a material for carry bags and as a board option for mono cartons, and we also offer kraft cartons and mailer boxes.

Coated stock is the alternative for carry bags where you want a smoother surface for your artwork. Tell us the look you want and we can suggest a suitable stock.

What should I include in my brief for custom carry bags?

1. Size: the dimensions of the bag, or a description of what it needs to hold.
2. Quantity.
3. Material: kraft or coated stock.
4. Paper weight (GSM): if you are not sure, describe the intended use and contents and we can suggest a suitable specification.
5. Handle: rope handles are available; ask us about other handle options.
6. Printing: what needs to be printed, and in how many colours.
7. Finishing requirements.
8. Artwork: PDF, AI, CDR or high-resolution JPG/PNG. A print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks is ideal. If your artwork is not print-ready, we will tell you what needs fixing.
9. Delivery date and location.

If you have an existing bag you want to match or improve on, send or show us a physical sample. A sample helps us understand size, material, construction, finish and expected quality.

Can I add foil or embossing to carry bags?

We offer foil stamping and embossing on suitable products and materials. Feasibility depends on the substrate, design, quantity and product construction, so we confirm the finishing method against the actual job. Include it in your first brief so we can confirm whether the material and design support it.

What is the minimum order for custom carry bags?

Minimum quantities depend on the specification and quantity. Send us the specification and quantity and we will confirm whether the job is commercially workable.

Can I reorder the same bags later?

Where the previous specification, approved artwork and production information are available, repeat orders can be produced against the existing job details. Mention the previous order or job reference when you reorder, and we will flag any change in material or production condition before production.

Which other packaging formats can come from the same supplier?

Mono cartons, corrugated boxes, rigid boxes and paper carry bags are all made in-house at our Gurugram facility, so a brand with several packaging requirements can source more than one format from a single supplier. Kraft cartons and mailer boxes are also available. See packaging for the full range, or compare the box formats in our rigid box, mono carton and corrugated guide.

We serve Delhi NCR directly and can dispatch suitable orders across India.

Can I see a sample first?

Samples can be provided for many products. For some jobs we can show existing production samples; where a custom sample or prototype is required, the process, cost and timeline depend on the product and specification, and any charge and expected timeline are confirmed before the sample is produced.

Where are custom carry bags used?

• Retail stores: shopping bags that carry the store's branding.
• Gifting companies and events: presentation and giveaway bags.
• Hospitality: takeaway bags.
• Jewellery and apparel brands: carry bags sized to the product.
• Corporate gifting: branded bags for employee gifts, client gifts or conference kits.
