Custom printed bags are branded carry and packaging bags, made in paper, kraft, laminated or high-barrier film and printed with your logo, colours and artwork.
The category spans paper shopping and gift bags with handles, kraft food and takeaway bags, grease-resistant glassine bags, and flexible foil or coffee pouches with valves and zippers. Whatever the format, custom printed bags protect the contents and keep your name in front of customers after the sale.
Custom printed bags suit any business that hands a product to a customer, from corner cafes to national retail chains.
Retailers, boutiques and fashion labels use printed shopping and gift bags to lift the point of sale. Restaurants and cloud kitchens rely on food-safe kraft bags for hot, greasy orders. Coffee roasters and snack makers choose foil and valve pouches for shelf life, bakeries use glassine, and promotional teams use them as low-cost branding.
The right bag style depends on what you carry, whether it needs a barrier, and how customers hold and see it.
| Bag style | Best for | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Flat-bottom / SOS paper bag | Takeaway food, groceries, bakery | Self-standing base holds containers upright |
| Side-gusseted bag | Bulk dry goods, coffee, snacks | Expands for volume, stacks flat on shelf |
| Tote / shopping bag with handles | Retail, boutiques, gifting | Easy to carry, big branded print area |
| Coffee / side-gusset bag with valve | Roasted coffee, aromatic goods | Degassing valve keeps beans fresh |
| Mylar / foil pouch | Snacks, supplements, dry food | High barrier blocks moisture, oxygen, light |
| Glassine bag | Pastries, cookies, small treats | Grease-resistant, translucent, food-safe |
| Rope / ribbon-handle paper bag | Luxury retail, premium gifting | Upscale look and comfortable carry |
Pick the structure first, then layer size, material, print and finish. Handled paper bags suit retail like our custom gift bags, while roasters use side-gusset valve pouches for freshness.
Bags are cut to any dimension; the chart below shows the most requested sizes and the loads they carry.
| Bag size (W x G x H) | Fits / capacity | Common use |
|---|---|---|
| 5 x 3 x 9 in | Single meal, ~1-2 lb | Small takeaway, treats |
| 8 x 4.75 x 10.5 in | Family order, ~4-6 lb | SOS food and grocery bags |
| 10 x 5 x 13 in | Apparel, boxed goods | Retail shopping bags |
| 16 x 6 x 12 in | Bulky or multiple items | Large shopping and gift bags |
| Coffee: 12 oz / 1 lb / 2 lb / 5 lb | Whole bean or ground coffee | Valve coffee pouches |
| Wine: 3.75 x 3.75 x 14 in | One standard 750 ml bottle | Wine bottle bags |
These are starting points, not limits. We size every bag around the product, adjust the gusset for capacity, and cut fully custom dimensions so it carries the weight and prints without distortion.
Bag material is chosen for strength, food safety, barrier and sustainability.
| Material | Typical weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Kraft paper (brown) | 70-120 gsm | Eco food, takeaway, natural retail |
| White paper / SBS | 80-150 gsm | Bright, sharp full-colour print |
| Coated / laminated paper | 120-170 gsm + film | Durable, water-resistant shopping bags |
| Foil-lined paper / film | Multi-layer laminate | Coffee and aroma-sensitive goods |
| Mylar / PET laminate | Multi-layer barrier | Snacks, supplements, long shelf life |
| Glassine paper | 30-50 gsm | Grease-resistant bakery and treats |
Kraft signals eco and handles grease, white and coated paper print the sharpest, and foil or mylar bags add the high barrier coffee and snacks need. Glassine stays translucent and grease-resistant without plastic, and FSC-certified paper is available across the paper options.
We print bags by three methods, chosen by run size, artwork and material.
| Printing method | Best for | Main strength |
|---|---|---|
| Flexographic | High-volume kraft and poly bags | Fast, cost-effective at scale |
| Offset / litho-lam | Retail paper and shopping bags | Sharpest photo-quality detail |
| Digital | Short runs, samples, seasonal art | No plates, quick and affordable |
Flexo is the workhorse for large kraft and food-bag runs, offset (often litho-laminated) gives the crispest detail for retail bags, and digital keeps short runs and samples fast. Tell us the quantity and artwork and we recommend the most cost-effective route free.
Bags print in CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.
| Colour system | Use it for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| CMYK | Full-colour art, gradients, photos | Standard four-colour print |
| PMS (Pantone) | Exact logo and brand colours | Identical shade on every reprint |
| RGB | On-screen design and previews | Convert to CMYK before printing |
CMYK reproduces full-colour artwork, while Pantone (PMS) matching locks a signature brand colour so every reorder stays consistent. RGB is screen-only, so we convert and confirm on your proof. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains it in plain terms.
Finishes protect the print and set how a bag feels, from natural matte kraft to glossy laminated retail bags.
| Finish | Effect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Matte / gloss lamination | Durable, water-resistant surface | Retail and premium bags |
| Aqueous coating | Light protective seal | Food and kraft bags |
| Soft-touch lamination | Velvety premium feel | Luxury shopping bags |
| Foil stamping (gold, silver) | Metallic logo shine | High-end gifting and retail |
| Spot UV | Glossy accent on matte | Logos and highlights |
| Embossing / debossing | Raised or recessed texture | Tactile luxury detail |
Lamination adds strength and water resistance, aqueous coating keeps food bags clean, and foil or spot UV lift premium lines. Kraft food bags are often left uncoated for a clean, recyclable look.
Handles and closures decide how a bag carries and seals, and add-ons like valves and windows tailor it.
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Twisted or flat paper handle | Comfortable carry, glued in | Retail and food bags |
| Die-cut handle | Handle punched into the bag | Poly and light retail bags |
| Rope / ribbon handle | Upscale, strong carry | Luxury shopping and gifting |
| Zipper / resealable closure | Reseals after opening | Coffee, snacks, dry goods |
| Degassing valve | Releases CO2 from fresh coffee | Roasted coffee pouches |
| Side gusset / flat bottom | Adds capacity and stability | Food and bulk bags |
| Die-cut window | Shows the product inside | Bakery, treats, retail |
Rope handles suit luxury bags, twisted paper handles suit retail and food, and valves, zippers and windows add function where needed. Bakeries often pair a window with our custom glassine paper bags.

Our food bags use food-grade, grease-resistant materials, and our retail bags are built to carry weight and show the brand.
For anything that touches food, we use food-grade paper and coatings and follow FDA food-contact guidance, so hot and greasy goods travel safely. Restaurants often pair printed bags with our custom food boxes for a matched set. On the retail side, laminated and rope-handle bags carry apparel while the print markets your brand.
Eco-friendly printed bags pair recyclable kraft, compostable options and soy-based inks with honest, specific claims.
Many buyers now expect sustainable packaging, so we offer recyclable kraft, FSC-certified paper, biodegradable and compostable options and water-based or soy inks, as in our custom eco friendly bags. We keep claims specific: the FTC Green Guides govern terms like recyclable and compostable, and FSC-certified stock backs the paper, so the bag supports your sustainability story without overclaiming.
We produce and ship printed bags to local businesses and national brands across the USA.
Apexio Packaging serves brands in California, Texas, Florida, New York and Illinois, and ships free to every state. A Los Angeles boutique may want laminated rope-handle bags, a New York cafe may need valve coffee pouches, and a Texas restaurant group may order kraft food bags in bulk, with free nationwide shipping on every order.

We review every printed bag for fit, print, handle strength and food safety before it ships.
We check print registration, colour accuracy against your Pantone targets, handle and seam strength, gusset fold and food-grade compliance, and confirm the bag holds its rated load. Brands that switch from plain to printed bags typically report stronger counter presence, because a branded bag keeps working after checkout.
Your bag is the cheapest advertising you will ever hand out. Start with zero risk: no minimums, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping on every order.
