Why Choose Paper Bag – Medium x250?

Our Paper Bag – Medium x250 provides the ideal balance between capacity, strength, and sustainability for businesses serving customers who value both quality presentation and environmental responsibility. The natural brown kraft paper communicates authentic eco-consciousness without requiring explicit sustainability messaging—the unbleached appearance has become universally recognized as synonymous with recyclable, biodegradable, and environmentally responsible packaging choices, as outlined by WRAP UK’s sustainable packaging guidelines. The medium size category offers versatile capacity that accommodates diverse product types while maintaining manageable dimensions that customers appreciate. The squarish profile (21x23cm) creates stable proportions that prevent bags from tipping over, while the generous 10cm gusset provides significant volume for bulkier items. Unlike small bags that struggle with larger products, or oversized bags that waste material and create awkward carrying experiences, these medium kraft bags deliver optimal sizing for clothing items, books, gift boxes, takeaway containers, artisan goods, and countless other retail products requiring professional presentation. Each pack contains 250 pieces, providing cost-effective supply for small to medium-volume retailers while maintaining manageable inventory levels. The bulk packaging significantly reduces per-unit costs, making professional eco-friendly packaging affordable even for budget-conscious businesses. Now available from £39.99 (reduced from £42.99), these bags deliver exceptional value compared to custom printed alternatives while maintaining the premium natural aesthetic that customers appreciate.

Premium Kraft Paper for Durability and Sustainability

The natural brown kraft paper construction provides authentic environmental credentials that resonate with sustainability-conscious consumers. Unlike bleached white paper requiring chemical processing, the unbleached kraft finish demonstrates genuine commitment to minimizing environmental impact. The natural brown color has become the visual language of sustainable, artisanal, and quality-focused brands—associations that enhance perceived value and justify premium pricing strategies. The 70-90gsm paper weight delivers optimal strength-to-weight balance, providing superior durability to carry products safely while maintaining lightweight characteristics that reduce shipping costs and environmental impact. The kraft paper construction supports weights up to 3-5kg comfortably, accommodating most medium retail items without risk of tearing or handle failure during normal use. This weight capacity makes these bags suitable for heavier items like books, multiple clothing pieces, substantial gift items, or food takeaway containers—applications where lighter bags would fail. The matte natural finish also provides excellent surface characteristics for additional customization. Many businesses choose to add branded stickers, stamps, or labels to plain kraft bags, creating cost-effective branded packaging without the expense and minimum order quantities associated with fully custom printed bags. The natural texture accepts adhesives well and provides attractive backgrounds that make branded elements stand out effectively.

Flat Tape Handles for Comfortable Carrying

The flat tape handles provide comfortable, reliable carrying solutions that customers appreciate during their shopping experiences. Unlike twisted handles, the flat tape construction creates wide, smooth handles that distribute weight evenly across hand surfaces, reducing pressure points and ensuring comfortable carrying even with heavier loads. The folded paper strip design provides excellent grip comfort while maintaining the natural kraft aesthetic throughout. The flat tape handles are internally glued with reinforcing patches, ensuring secure connection to the bag body that withstands the stresses of normal use even with substantial weight. This professional construction prevents the common failure mode of handles detaching from bags—an embarrassing and frustrating experience that damages brand perception and customer satisfaction. The color-matched brown handles maintain cohesive aesthetics that demonstrate attention to detail and quality consciousness. The flat profile of the handles also offers practical advantages for storage and stacking. Unlike twisted handles that create irregular profiles, flat tape handles allow bags to stack more efficiently during storage, maximizing shelf space in stockrooms. The handle length and positioning optimize carrying comfort for the medium bag dimensions, allowing natural hand positioning whether carrying bags by hand or over the wrist. For smaller capacity needs, explore our Paper Bag – Small x250 option.

Optimal Dimensions for Versatile Applications

The 21x23x10cm dimensions (width x height x depth/gusset) provide optimal capacity for diverse medium-sized retail products. The 21cm width accommodates items like folded clothing, books, gift boxes, takeaway containers, and multiple smaller products comfortably. The 23cm height allows sufficient vertical space for taller items while maintaining compact overall proportions. The generous 10cm gusset (side depth) creates approximately 4.5-5 liter volume capacity, providing impressive versatility for various product combinations. The squarish profile (21x23cm) creates stable proportions that prevent bags from tipping over when set down, facilitating easy packing at point of sale and stable display when customers place bags on surfaces. This self-supporting characteristic streamlines checkout processes during busy periods and prevents bags from falling over and spilling contents—practical advantages that improve operational efficiency and customer experience. The flat bottom construction ensures bags stand upright independently, further enhancing stability and professional appearance. The gusseted sides expand to accommodate bulkier items while maintaining neat, professional appearance when carrying flatter products. This flexibility makes these bags suitable for diverse product types within a single inventory item, simplifying stock management and reducing the need for multiple bag sizes. The 10cm gusset is particularly valuable for food service applications, preventing takeaway containers from tipping sideways during transport—a critical feature that maintains food presentation and prevents spills.

Perfect for Retail Boutiques and Clothing Stores

Paper Bag – Medium x250 excels in fashion retail environments where presentation matters. The medium size accommodates folded t-shirts, blouses, scarves, accessories, small clothing items, and multiple smaller products comfortably. The natural kraft aesthetic complements fashion-forward brands while demonstrating environmental consciousness that resonates with style-conscious consumers increasingly concerned with sustainability. The professional appearance enhances perceived value of clothing purchases, creating positive unboxing experiences that customers associate with quality retail experiences. The sturdy construction protects clothing from weather during transport, while the generous capacity allows room for tissue paper wrapping or additional packaging elements that elevate presentation. Many successful boutiques use kraft bags as signature packaging, relying on the natural aesthetic itself to communicate brand values of sustainability, authenticity, and quality. The plain design also provides flexibility for seasonal branding changes. Add festive stickers during holidays, promotional stamps during sales events, or branded labels year-round to create personalized packaging that reflects your brand identity while maintaining cost advantages of plain bags. This approach allows frequent design changes without inventory obsolescence—crucial for fashion retailers adapting to seasonal trends and promotional campaigns.

Ideal for Gift Shops and Specialty Retail

Gift shops appreciate the medium dimensions perfect for candles, boxed gifts, artisan goods, books, specialty foods, and gift sets. The premium natural appearance conveys quality and attention to detail that aligns with gift retail positioning, while the eco-friendly credentials appeal to gift-givers increasingly concerned with sustainability. The natural kraft aesthetic complements gift items without overwhelming product presentation, allowing the gifts themselves to remain the focal point while providing professional packaging. The generous capacity accommodates multiple smaller items or single larger gifts, providing versatility that simplifies inventory management. The sturdy construction protects delicate gift items during transport, ensuring products arrive in perfect condition—crucial for maintaining customer satisfaction and preventing returns. The self-supporting design also facilitates attractive in-store displays, allowing pre-packed gift sets to stand upright on shelves or counters.

Excellent for Food Takeaway and Delivery

Food service businesses utilize these bags for takeaway containers, deli items, bakery goods, and food delivery applications. The 3-5kg weight capacity accommodates substantial food orders, while the kraft paper construction provides food-safe packaging that meets hygiene standards. The natural aesthetic aligns with artisanal food movements and organic food businesses, while the eco-friendly credentials appeal to environmentally conscious diners. The flat bottom and gusseted sides create stable base for stacking takeaway containers, preventing spills during transport. The 10cm gusset is particularly crucial for food service, providing sufficient depth to accommodate standard takeaway containers without tipping. The flat tape handles distribute weight evenly, ensuring comfortable carrying even with heavier food orders. The breathable kraft paper also prevents condensation buildup that can occur with plastic bags, maintaining food quality during transport—particularly important for hot foods or baked goods. Many cafes, delis, bakeries, and restaurants choose kraft bags as standard takeaway packaging, appreciating the combination of functionality, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal that enhances brand perception. The plain design accepts branded stickers easily, allowing food businesses to add logos and contact information cost-effectively without committing to large custom printing orders.

Comprehensive Eco-Friendly Credentials

Paper Bag – Medium x250 supports comprehensive sustainability strategies with 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable materials. The kraft paper can be recycled through standard paper recycling streams available in most communities, supporting circular economy principles and reducing landfill waste. When recycling infrastructure isn’t available, the bags biodegrade naturally without leaving harmful residues, unlike plastic alternatives that persist for centuries in landfills and natural environments. The compostable nature allows the bags to break down in commercial composting facilities, returning nutrients to soil and completing natural cycles. This environmental versatility enables businesses to provide appropriate disposal guidance based on local waste management infrastructure, demonstrating genuine environmental responsibility rather than superficial greenwashing. Many environmentally conscious consumers specifically seek retailers using paper bags instead of plastic, making this packaging choice a competitive advantage in sustainability-focused markets. FSC-certified paper options ensure your packaging comes from responsibly managed forests that support biodiversity, protect ecosystems, and maintain sustainable forestry practices. Choosing FSC-certified bags allows you to communicate verified environmental credentials that resonate with informed consumers who understand the importance of responsible sourcing. The natural, unbleached kraft paper also eliminates chemical bleaching processes, further reducing environmental impact during manufacturing.

Cost-Effective Bulk Supply with Special Pricing

The 250-piece pack quantity provides optimal supply levels for small to medium-volume retailers, balancing inventory investment with operational needs. This quantity typically supports several weeks to months of operations for most small to medium retailers, reducing reordering frequency while avoiding excessive inventory commitments that tie up capital and storage space. The bulk packaging delivers significant per-unit cost savings compared to purchasing smaller quantities. Now available from £39.99 (reduced from £42.99), these bags represent excellent value for professional packaging that enhances brand perception and customer satisfaction. The special pricing makes sustainable packaging even more accessible for startups, small businesses, and independent retailers operating on limited budgets. The investment pays dividends through enhanced customer experiences, improved brand perception, and alignment with consumer sustainability expectations that increasingly influence purchasing decisions.

Plain Design for Flexible Branding Options

The plain, unprinted design provides maximum flexibility for businesses wanting to add custom branding without committing to large minimum order quantities required for fully custom printed bags. Add branded stickers, rubber stamps, labels, or hang tags to create personalized packaging that reflects your brand identity while maintaining the cost advantages and flexibility of plain bags. The flat surface area of the bags is particularly ideal for branding applications, providing ample space for logos, promotional messages, or seasonal designs. Many successful retailers use plain kraft bags as their standard packaging, relying on the natural aesthetic itself to communicate brand values of sustainability, authenticity, and quality. The minimalist approach appeals to contemporary design sensibilities and allows products themselves to shine without competing with elaborate packaging graphics.

Easy Storage and Operational Efficiency

The flat-packed design optimizes storage efficiency, allowing 250 bags to occupy minimal shelf space in stockrooms or behind counters. The flat tape handles contribute to this efficiency, creating a more uniform profile that stacks better than bags with twisted handles. The bags can be stored flat and opened quickly during checkout processes, streamlining operations during busy periods. The lightweight kraft paper also reduces shipping costs when ordering supplies, supporting overall operational efficiency and cost management.
