I had custom gift bags made for my son’s senior night. They came out perfect and on time for the event. Perfect personal addition to the event.

Bags look great!

The bags turned out great. My only downgrade in my review is simply related to designing the bags. Trying to get my design centered for the bag was a bit frustrating even using the template. Other than that the print on the bags turned out great.

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.
