A Beautiful Way to Package a Little Magic
Jun 14, 2026 | Tammy S. |
Verified Buyer
I ordered custom paper gift bags for my small business, Festive Friend Elves, and I am thrilled with how they turned out! The print quality is crisp and vibrant, and all of the details in my artwork came through beautifully. The colors are warm and true to my design, making the bags look professional while still capturing the magical feel of my brand. The bags themselves are sturdy, with strong handles and quality paper that feels durable enough to hold books, gifts, and elf assignments. I wanted something that would create a memorable first impression for families, and these bags do exactly that. The ordering process was simple, production was fast, and everything arrived exactly as expected. As a small business owner, presentation matters, and these bags help make every order feel a little more special. I would absolutely order from VistaPrint again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality custom packaging.

Paper bags, with logo

I would like to say that my item arrived, but the box was destroyed. I feel that either the packages are being loaded without any care or that the company you use for shipping doesn't care how they handle someones items, and if they would take a picture of it onced delivered, would they then deliver it at all. This includes my paper bags, in another shipment pens, business card, etc. I have taken pictures but at a lost at how to email them to you. My items arrived fine, but left me with thinking about the next time I place an order. If you would give directions on how to email you the pictures, I will.

Kraft paper bags are generally recyclable and are accepted by many recycling programs. However, the availability of recycling for them may differ depending on your location, so we suggest consulting local recycling points for confirmation.

Yes, you can upload your own logo or design when customizing your kraft bags. However, please note that blank areas in your design will show the natural color of the bag (brown or white kraft). We recommend you use a logo, image or design with at least 300 dpi to get the best quality print. As a tip, single-color designs that cover the entire print area may result in slight blemishes.

Our kraft paper bags are 0.13 mm thick.
