Custom Paper Shopping Bags with Logo

Custom paper shopping bags with your logo, made for boutiques, fashion retailers, showrooms and events. As a packaging manufacturer in Bulgaria, we produce bags in laminated art paper or strong kraft, with rope, ribbon, twisted, flat or die-cut handles, printed in your brand colours and finished with foil, embossing or spot UV.

Your brand on the street

A shopping bag is carried out of the shop, along the high street, onto public transport and very often reused for weeks. That makes it one of the most visible brand pieces you own. A good bag has to hold a pair of jeans or a winter coat without the handles tearing, keep its shape in damp weather and feel as considered as the garment it carries.

We manufacture paper bags in the same colour system as your hang tags and labels, so the logo size, colour and finish are consistent from the label inside the collar to the bag on the customer’s shoulder.

Choosing the paper

Paper	Look	Print result	Best decoration	Typical brands
Coated art paper	Smooth, uniform	Sharpest print, deep solid colours	Lamination, foil, spot UV	Boutiques, premium fashion
Brown kraft	Natural, fibrous	Softer colours, best for 1–2 colours	Blind embossing, single foil	Denim, outdoor, eco lines
White kraft	Clean, matt, natural	Brighter than brown kraft	1–2 colour print, embossing	Minimal and casual brands
Speciality papers	Textured or through-dyed	Depends on paper	Foil, embossing	Brands wanting a distinctive touch
Recycled papers	Slightly warmer tone	Good for simple logos	1–2 colour print	Sustainability-focused retail

Art paper bags are usually laminated, which strengthens the walls and gives an even finish. Kraft has higher tear resistance in its natural state, which is why it is often chosen for larger, heavier purchases. FSC-certified paper is available on request.

Handle styles

• Rope: cotton or polypropylene cord, knotted inside behind a reinforced top fold – the classic boutique bag.
• Ribbon: satin or grosgrain in your colour, or woven with your logo using our logo tapes and ribbons.
• Twisted paper: glued inside the bag; light, economical and fully paper-based.
• Flat paper: wide and comfortable for larger kraft bags with heavier goods.
• Die-cut: a hand-hole punched into the bag and reinforced with an extra layer, for a clean minimal look.

Built to carry

Each bag has a reinforced top fold with a card strip behind the handles, spreading the load over a wider area. A base card keeps the bottom flat so the bag stands upright on the counter while it is packed. For shoes, coats and boxed goods we use heavier paper or a stronger base, and choose the handle for the expected weight.

Common sizes for fashion retail

Any size can be produced to order. These formats (width × height × gusset) cover most clothing stores.

Format	Size (mm)	What fits
Small	180 × 220 × 80	Accessories, jewellery-style items, gift cards
Medium, portrait	240 × 320 × 100	T-shirts, knitwear, small purchases
Medium, landscape	320 × 250 × 120	Folded shirts, boxed products
Large	380 × 420 × 120	Jeans, dresses, several items
Large, landscape	450 × 380 × 150	Coats, shoe boxes
Extra large	540 × 450 × 150	Outerwear, home textiles

Many stores order two or three sizes in one design rather than a single size for everything. A compact bag for accessories and a large one for outerwear look intentional, and garments are folded less.

Printing and finishing

Option	Result
Matt or gloss lamination	Protects print, stiffens walls
Soft-touch lamination	Velvety surface for premium bags
Hot-foil stamping	Gold, silver or coloured foil logo
Embossing / debossing	A logo you can feel, with or without foil
Spot UV	Glossy pattern on a matt surface
Inside, gusset or base print	Extra detail the customer discovers later

Colours are matched to your Pantone references. If your logo needs adapting for foil or a single colour, our design team prepares print-ready artwork for you.

Where paper bags are used

• Shop counters in boutiques and department-store concessions.
• Showrooms, trade fairs and press days.
• Brand events, launches and gifting.
• Click-and-collect orders and personal shopping.

For a complete set, wrap garments in tissue paper with logo, present gifts in custom boxes and close everything with a logo sticker. Producing these together keeps colours and proportions aligned.

Planning sizes and quantities

Look at last season’s sales by product type before you decide how many bags to order in each size. A store selling mainly T-shirts and accessories will use far more small and medium bags than large ones, while an outerwear or denim store needs the opposite balance. Keeping the same design across all sizes, with the logo scaled proportionally, lets you reorder a single size when it runs low without changing the look at the counter.

Think about storage as well. Bags are delivered flat and packed per size, so a season’s supply takes surprisingly little space, but laminated art paper bags should be kept dry and away from direct sunlight to protect the finish. For events and launches, a limited-edition print on the same construction is an easy way to mark the occasion.

Ordering step by step

1. Send your logo, the sizes you need and the quantity per size.
2. We prepare a dieline and a digital proof.
3. A physical sample can be made before production.
4. Production typically takes 10–20 working days after approval, depending on finishes.
5. Bags are delivered flat, packed per size, anywhere in the EU.

What to send

• Logo in vector format and Pantone references.
• Sizes and the heaviest item each bag will carry.

• Quantities per size and delivery date.

Printed paper bags are typically produced from 1,000 pieces per design; the final minimum depends on size, paper and finish. Contact us at [email protected], on WhatsApp/Viber +359 876 766 050, or through our contact page. More options are on our packaging overview.
