Carrier Bags

Packhelp offers a complete range of carrier bags for businesses, from high-street shops to food vendors and event organisers. The collection provides practical and brandable solutions for carrying goods, with options in both paper and cotton to match different product needs and aesthetic goals.

Paper carrier bags UK

Our paper bags collection offers a versatile choice for many applications. We make these bags from kraft paper, available in classic brown, crisp white, and other colours, with paper weights ranging from a lightweight 65 gsm to a sturdier 110 gsm. Depending on the model, the bags feature either flat tape or twisted paper handles for a comfortable grip. Every bag has a flat base, allowing it to stand upright for easy packing. We supply a broad spectrum of sizes, from small formats around 17 x 7 x 25 cm up to significantly larger bags at 33 x 50 x 12 cm. For food service, the Paper Takeaway Food Bag with Handle comes in multiple dimensions to accommodate meal containers. For general retail, a popular choice is the Plain Paper Bag with Handle which provides a simple and effective packaging solution. Browse our full range of paper bags to see all available styles.

Heavy duty carrier bags in cotton

For items that require extra strength, consider our range of cotton bags. We offer several fabric weights to create heavy duty carrier bags, including a 140 gsm economy option, a 150 gsm standard tote, and a premium 360 gsm canvas. These bags typically feature long shoulder handles for convenient carrying. Most models come in a standard size of around 38 x 42 cm, with a gusseted 38 x 10 x 42 cm version available for bulkier items. For a different carrying style, the Cotton Drawstring Bag functions like a simple backpack. For products where visibility is a benefit, the Plain Mesh Drawstring Bag offers an alternative to clear carrier bags. View all material and style options in our main cotton bags category.

Shop carrier bags and luxury carrier bags

The right carrier bag enhances the customer experience in a retail environment. Our selection of shop carrier bags includes refined options for boutiques and gift stores. For these applications, see our range of gift bags or create luxury carrier bags by personalising a premium model like the Custom Paper Gift Bag.

Extra large carrier bags and bottle carrier bags

For bigger products, we supply both large carrier bags and extra large carrier bags. Paper formats reach dimensions of 36 x 33 x 32 cm, providing ample space. For taller items, our range includes dedicated bottle carrier bags and gift formats like the 24 x 9 x 32 cm paper bag.

Cheap carrier bags and customisation options

We provide affordable packaging solutions without compromising on quality. Find cheap carrier bags by selecting our economy paper (from 65 gsm) or cotton (140 gsm) options, available with low minimum order quantities. You can personalise every product. You can add your design to one or both sides of the bag, printing in a single Pantone spot colour or in full-colour CMYK. Use our online editor to create and preview your custom carrier bags before ordering. A versatile and popular choice for branding is the Custom Cotton Bag, which offers a large print area for your logo or artwork.
