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.
