Custom White Paper Bags for Retail and Business Packaging
Custom white paper bags are paper carrier bags. You can personalise them with a logo, printed artwork and a chosen size, handle and finish. They give shops, boutiques and gift businesses a bright surface that shows brand colours clearly. The options depend on the bag style, so check your details before you order.
A white bag looks clean at the till and carries your brand out of the shop. In short, this page covers sizes, handles, printing, pricing and recycling, so you can choose with confidence.
Custom Printed White Paper Bags for Your Business
White paper gives your artwork a bright base. As a result, colours stand out, and fine logo detail stays easy to read. That is why custom printed white paper bags suit boutiques, gift shops, market stalls and events.
Many buyers choose white kraft paper bags for a lighter look. Kraft paper is also known for its strength. However, if you prefer a natural brown tone, compare them with our custom kraft bags. In addition, you can browse our full range of custom printed paper bags to see other styles.
Customisation Options for White Paper Bags
Depending on the bag model, you can customise the following:
- Dimensions: width, height and gusset.
- Handle style: twisted, flat or rope, where offered.
- Logo and colours: placement and print colours.
- Print coverage: one-sided or two-sided printing.
- Finish: matte lamination, gloss lamination or foil details, where offered.
Not every mix of options works on every bag. For example, white paper bags with logo printing depend on the print area of the bag you select. The same applies to personalised white paper bags with full-coverage artwork. Therefore, tell us what you need, and we will confirm what works.
Choose the Right Size and Handle Style
Size and handle choices affect how the bag looks and how well it carries your product. Follow these steps to find the right size:
- Measure the widest, tallest and deepest item you plan to pack.
- Allow some clearance, so the item slides in without strain.
- Match the bag width to the item width, and the gusset to its depth.
- Confirm the final measurements before you approve your order.
Small white paper bags suit items such as jewellery and cosmetics. Large white paper bags suit folded clothing and boxed gifts. For more detail, read our guide to paper bag sizes and handle options.
Handle style matters as well. When you compare white paper bags with handles, think about the look you want. Also consider the weight you expect to carry.
| Handle style | Look and feel | Best suited to |
| Twisted paper | Rounded, classic retail finish | Everyday retail and gift bags |
| Flat paper | Slim, minimal profile | Takeaway, events and lighter items |
| Rope | Soft, premium feel | Boutiques and premium gifting |
Handle choice depends on the bag style, so check the options for your model. For heavier items, also check the paper weight (GSM) and how the handles are attached.
Printing and Finishing Options
Good artwork makes a big difference to the final result. For example, supply logos as vector files where possible. Set colours in CMYK, or give Pantone references for brand-critical shades.
Before production starts, you review and approve the artwork proof. At this stage, check logo placement, colours and spelling. Printing on both sides may be available for suitable bag styles. Confirm the print coverage and any extra charge in your quote.
You can also choose a finish, where the bag allows it:
- Matte lamination gives a soft, low-glare look.
- Gloss lamination gives a shinier surface and richer-looking colours.
- Foil details add a metallic accent to a logo or line.
Finishes depend on the product. In addition, laminates can affect recycling, as the recycling section below explains.

- Retail shops and boutiques:white paper shopping bags for everyday purchases.
- Gift packaging:white paper gift bags for presents and promotional items.
- Events and exhibitions: branded bags for handouts and giveaways.
- Cafés and bakeries: takeaway use, once you confirm the paper suits direct food contact.

Pricing, Minimum Order Quantity and Delivery
The price of custom white paper bags depends on several factors:
- Order quantity
- Bag dimensions
- Paper type and weight
- Handle style
- Print coverage and number of colours
- Finishing options
- Delivery arrangements
The minimum order depends on how the bag is made and printed. Your quote states the exact minimum. In addition, if you need wholesale white paper bags in larger volumes, ask whether quantity tiers apply.
Delivery has three stages: artwork approval, production and shipping. Your quote sets out the timing for each stage. As a result, you can plan around your launch date.
Are White Paper Bags Recyclable?
Paper is widely recycled in the UK. For example, according to GOV.UK, 84.1% of paper and cardboard packaging waste was recycled in 2024. The provisional figure for 2025 is 80.3%, and it may be revised. However, these are category-wide figures. They do not show that every bag is recycled.
Whether a bag can be recycled depends on its materials. Coatings, laminates, adhesives, rope handles and contamination can all affect the result. Local collection rules matter too. Looking for recyclable white paper bags? Ask for the full bag details, then check them against your local guidance.
Recycled content, FSC certification and recyclability are three separate claims. Each needs its own evidence, in line with Competition and Markets Authority guidance on environmental claims.
Why Choose Our Custom White Paper Bags?
Custom Printed Paper keeps the buying process simple:
- One quote request covers size, handles, print and finish.
- You see an artwork proof before production begins.
- Bag details are stated plainly, without vague environmental claims.
- Quotes show production and delivery details separately.
Finally, if you need bespoke white paper bags that are not listed, send us your requirements.

Offset Print
If you’re looking for large-volume packaging materials, choose offset printing! This printing method produces clean, crisp, and brilliant results. It uses plates to transfer ink to paper, so it is economical for printing in bulk. The process provides accurate color, professional quality, and an outstanding look and feel, which is ideal for cutting custom box designs.
Digital Print
Digital printing works well for short runs and quick turn times. It doesn’t use printing plates, but instead prints directly from a computer file. It is cheap for small amounts and gives good resolution. It’s ideal for custom designs, variable data or limited edition packaging that requires speed and flexibility.
UV Print
UV printing is a process that uses ultraviolet light to dry and cure the ink as it is printed. It easily operates on traditional and non-traditional materials. This process adds to the visual appeal of such packages, as well as their durability, and packages that require a combination of both texture and shine are perfect candidates for such execution.
Pantone
Pantone printing is based on a standardized color matching system to guarantee an exact color match between jobs. It’s great for keeping brand colors perfect. Pantone ink is mixed using Pantone formula guides developed through spot printing for color accuracy that is reported as second to none. For luxury packaging that demands trustworthy, uniform, and sumptuous color from the start.
C1S
C1S is an acronym for “Coated One Side,” as the paperboard is glossy on one side and uncoated on the reverse.

Perfect for handcraft, small business and so on, ideal for packaging boxes, shelves, product tags with a polished look.
C2S

Blind Embossing
A blind emboss is an image that is pressed into the paper or card without the use of ink or foil. It has a raised or recessed quality, which makes the material look elegant and refined. This velvet touch lamination is commonly used on branding or invites, adding a tactile feel to the design.
Blind Debossing
