Made from natural brown kraft paper with twisted paper handles, these small paper bags combine practical functionality with sustainable aesthetics that resonate with environmentally conscious consumers. The compact 18x21x8.5cm dimensions make them perfect for retail stores, gift shops, boutiques, jewelry stores, cosmetic retailers, and any business requiring elegant, eco-friendly packaging for small to medium items.

Why Choose Paper Bag – Small x250?

Our Paper Bag – Small x250 provides the ideal balance between size, 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 small size category (often called A5 size in industry terminology) offers versatile capacity for diverse product types while maintaining compact, manageable dimensions that customers appreciate. Unlike oversized bags that waste material and create awkward carrying experiences, or undersized bags that struggle to accommodate products properly, these small kraft bags deliver optimal sizing for jewelry, cosmetics, small gifts, accessories, candles, A5 stationery, small clothing items like scarves and gloves, 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 (ranging from £0.08 to £0.38 per piece depending on quantity), making professional eco-friendly packaging affordable even for budget-conscious businesses. Starting from £28.00 per pack, these bags deliver exceptional value compared to custom printed alternatives while maintaining the premium natural aesthetic that customers appreciate.

Natural Brown Kraft Paper for Authentic Eco-Aesthetics

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 90gsm paper weight delivers optimal strength-to-weight balance, providing sufficient durability to carry products safely while maintaining lightweight characteristics that reduce shipping costs and environmental impact. The kraft paper construction supports weights up to 2-3kg comfortably, accommodating most small retail items without risk of tearing or handle failure during normal use. This reliability ensures positive customer experiences and reduces complaints about packaging failures—crucial for maintaining brand reputation and customer satisfaction. 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.

Twisted Paper Handles for Comfortable Carrying

The twisted paper handles provide comfortable, reliable carrying solutions that customers appreciate during their shopping experiences. The twisted construction creates strong, flexible handles that distribute weight evenly across hand surfaces, reducing pressure points and ensuring comfortable carrying even during extended periods. Unlike thin plastic handles that cut into hands or flimsy paper handles that tear under moderate weight, these twisted kraft handles deliver dependable performance that supports customer satisfaction. The handles are internally glued with reinforced attachment points, ensuring secure connection to the bag body that withstands the stresses of normal use. 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 handle length and positioning optimize carrying comfort for the small bag dimensions, allowing natural hand positioning whether carrying bags by hand or over the wrist. This ergonomic consideration enhances user experience and ensures customers can comfortably transport purchases from your store to their destinations without discomfort or inconvenience.

Perfect Dimensions for Small Retail Items

The 18x21x8.5cm dimensions (width x height x depth/gusset) provide optimal capacity for diverse small retail products. The 18cm width accommodates items like jewelry boxes, cosmetic products, small gift items, candles, and accessories comfortably. The 21cm height allows sufficient vertical space for taller items while maintaining compact overall proportions. The 8.5cm gusset (side depth) creates approximately 3-3.5 liter volume capacity, providing surprising versatility for various product combinations. The flat bottom construction ensures bags stand upright independently, facilitating easy packing at point of sale and stable display when customers set bags down. This self-supporting characteristic streamlines checkout processes during busy periods and prevents bags from tipping over and spilling contents—practical advantages that improve operational efficiency and customer experience. The gusseted sides expand to accommodate bulkier items while maintaining neat, professional appearance when carrying flatter products. These dimensions align with industry-standard “Small” or “A5” size categories, making them ideal for gift shops, jewelry stores, cosmetic retailers, boutiques, craft fairs, trade shows, and any retail environment serving small to medium products. The compact size also reduces storage space requirements compared to larger bags, allowing efficient inventory management in space-constrained retail environments.

Eco-Friendly Credentials for Sustainable Business

Paper Bag – Small 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.

Versatile Applications Across Retail Sectors

Paper Bag – Small x250 excels across diverse retail applications: Gift Shops use these bags to present purchased items beautifully, creating positive unboxing experiences that customers associate with thoughtful gift-giving. The natural kraft aesthetic complements gift items without overwhelming product presentation, allowing the gifts themselves to remain the focal point while providing professional packaging. Jewelry Stores appreciate the compact dimensions perfect for jewelry boxes, watch cases, and accessory items. The premium natural appearance conveys quality and attention to detail that aligns with jewelry retail positioning, while the eco-friendly credentials appeal to luxury consumers increasingly concerned with sustainability. Cosmetic Retailers utilize these bags for skincare products, makeup items, beauty tools, and cosmetic gift sets. The natural kraft aesthetic aligns with clean beauty movements and organic cosmetic brands, while the durable construction protects delicate cosmetic packaging during transport. Boutiques and Fashion Retailers use small kraft bags for accessories like scarves, gloves, jewelry, belts, and small clothing items. The natural aesthetic complements fashion-forward brands while demonstrating environmental consciousness that resonates with style-conscious consumers. Craft Fairs and Trade Shows benefit from affordable, professional packaging that enhances handmade product presentation without excessive costs. The plain kraft surface also accepts stamps and stickers easily, allowing artisans to add personalized branding cost-effectively.

Cost-Effective Bulk Supply

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 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, with prices ranging from £0.08 to £0.38 per bag depending on volume. Starting from £28.00 per pack, these bags represent minimal investment for professional packaging that enhances brand perception and customer satisfaction. The cost-effectiveness makes sustainable packaging accessible even 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

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. This approach allows frequent design changes for seasonal campaigns, special promotions, or evolving brand aesthetics without inventory obsolescence. 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.

Professional Presentation and Customer Satisfaction

The natural brown kraft appearance creates professional presentation that enhances perceived value and demonstrates attention to detail. Customers receiving purchases in quality paper bags experience elevated satisfaction compared to plastic bags or no packaging, supporting positive brand associations and customer retention. The eco-friendly packaging also generates positive word-of-mouth recommendations as environmentally conscious consumers share their appreciation for businesses making sustainable choices. The reliable construction ensures bags perform consistently throughout customer journeys from store to destination, maintaining professional appearance and protecting products effectively. This reliability prevents embarrassing packaging failures that damage brand perception and customer satisfaction—crucial for building loyal customer bases and generating positive reviews that attract new customers.

Easy Storage and Handling

The flat-packed design optimizes storage efficiency, allowing 250 bags to occupy minimal shelf space in stockrooms or behind counters. 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. The standardized dimensions ensure consistent presentation across all customer purchases, maintaining professional brand image and operational simplicity. Staff can quickly select appropriate bags for various products without complex decision-making, reducing training requirements and checkout times during peak business periods.
